oh nothing, just treasures

05/06/2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I think I should start a mini series called “why I can’t wait for summer.” And I will only share my enthusiasm about summer every few days for the next week and a half. Yesterday, I was flipping through Real Simple when I found this exciting resource: Yard Sale Treasure Map

This is so cool. I may even use it as early as tomorrow in iphone app-form.

It has been such a long time since I have spent a morning garage-saling. In the beginning of the school year, Steph and I went searching for cute items to decorate our apartment with, but we didn’t have much luck. Still, I made a really organized map for our adventure:

(old fashioned map vs. fancy new one)

During the rest of the year, I drove past several good looking sales without any time to pull over and scout them out. That was probably for my own good. Now that summer is around the corner, I can enjoy it again and try my best not to become a hoarder.  
Here is my most favorite garage sale find ever:
and another lamp…
I am spending this weekend at the Whole Earth Festival with family and friends. This may be one of my favorite parts of the year. Thai food, peace necklaces, sunflowers, ceramics, and a million more things that I love :)

(Speaking of treasures, last Saturday I geocached!!! And found nothing. But still.)

california dreamin’

04/27/2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Last night, my roommate Steph made something really nice and California-related (to be announced!) and it got me thinking about how beautiful this state is. The shape of it. The land within it. The ocean. The people. I daydream of living in foreign countries or in the Pacific Northwest, but I think I will always come back to California.

One of these days, I think I will share all of my favorite places in the golden state. For now, I’ll just share some pretty pictures :)

oh, the places you’ll go!

In approximately twenty-two days, I will be on my way to Rome followed by a Mediterranean cruise :) I haven’t been very up to date on the pre-travel stuff because life has been crazy, so now I need to sit down and actually think about paperwork, packing, etc. 
On my list of travel essentials, I will definitely include:
  • My camera
  • Some friends
  • Euros 
  • Easily compressed clothing
  • Burts Bees
And that’s all I need, right?
The other day, I came across these globes and I have added them to my dream house wish list:

I especially like the one with butterflies. I used to be afraid of butterflies (I know, embarrassing), but I am getting used to them.
These are made from vintage globes that are no longer geographically accurate. I wanna do this. Summer project!

my aunt linda

Today, we went through hundreds of family photos. Linda was such a pretty lady!

(Grandma, Grandpa, Linda, Mom, Debbie, Karen, & Steve)

Gah. So beautiful. 
This last one was taken more recently…well, sixteen years ago maybe. Linda loved animals so, so much. Even the other day, she made sure I didn’t squish a tiny bug that was crawling on the floor. 
On this day, Linda, my cousin Keele, and I went out to promote endangered animal awareness. Aaaahhhh!  This is my absolute favorite. 
I am obsessed with my family. I wish everyone could meet them… The past few days have been the scariest, saddest days that any of us have experienced. But now Linda is with Jesus. I just wish I could see it.
A couple of days ago, she prayed for extended life so that she could serve God and make a difference, but holy moly, she has changed more lives than I will ever be able to count. 
PS. I think I’ll make a habit of posting old family photos. They are wonderful ♥

flowers, cake, & family

04/22/2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Hello, and welcome to my new crafty blog of love :) 



Today, my inspiration comes from one of my favorite people in the world, my dear aunt Linda. She passed away at 1:30 this morning, surrounded by all of us. Linda was a wonderful ray of sunshine and fought her cancer until the very end. Her faith and love of life inspires me to never hold back in embracing all of life’s wonders. I am so sad, but so thankful that Linda is finally free of pain. She is with Jesus, and Jesus is with us. We’re all together. 

Crocheting helped me focus this week, as did cake and lots of coffee at night (big old Lent failure).


I love my family so much. Linda taught us how to love the right way. 

linda & me
