My Big Adventure for the Summer!

My adventure starts the day after tomorrow! I am traveling to the beautiful woodsy Punxsatawney, Pensylvania! Oh, how I love it there. Its gorgeously green, and filled with trees, creeks, and (my absolute favorite thing) blueberry bushes! Lucky for me, I have family there to stay with! My aunt lives in such a charming house in the woods. I just have such wonderful memories of her big windows (letting in either sun, or allowing a joyous pit-pat-pattering of rain), and I remember her enchanting rows of tall tall blueberry bushes! Everywhere! So I cannot wait to get there, and I will take millions of photos, of course! But first I must deal with the long plane ride from California to Pensylvania. Plane rides can either be adventures, or treacherous things! Lets hope its a fun adventure!

Now, my biggest worry about going on this trip, is how much I will miss my animals! Especially my kitties! Here's two of em! Cuddlin on the chair ;)

Now I will be back on Tuesday of next week, where I will fill you in with dozens of photos! Have a wonderful week!

Banner Time

Sooo I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with this, but I made myself a little banner. Haha I hope you like =)


While I'm at it, I feel I must mention to you how great Straylight Run is. I've said many times before how much I love them, and how great all their albums are, but really and truly listen to their self-titled album. That album and "The Needles The Space" are definitely my faves =) Listening to the self-titled right now. . .

A Day at the Fair. .

Hello all!
Normally, I am not much of a fair person. Well, not an Orange County Fair anyway. Too many crowds, overpriced food, etc.

BUT this year it changed. They came up with this new thing called "Horse Week". So of course I was all over it! I took sooo many photos!

Please enjoy ;)

An Antique Morning!

Hello!
Today I spent the morning doing one of my favorite things: browsing antique shops. . .hoping for something to stick out to me!

Two things did =)

First was this lovely original photo from the 1906 book "The Christy Girl", by Howard Chandler Christy. I fell in love with it immediately. When I brought it home I noticed that it had a back side! What a nice surprise!

I also bought this Twilight Zone pin to add to my collection of pins! Cool, right?

I don't know about you, but I think it looks quite nice on my pin-filled bag!

Now I just need to get a frame for my new Christy print. . .Speaking of frames, yesterday I got a couple for my lovely things I got at the Sawdust festival! I think they look great on my wall ;)

I also matted and hung three of my own photos =)

And last but not least, funny picture of the day! Isn't she adorable?

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland!

As many of you know, Tim Burton is doing an Alice in Wonderland film starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter! So, it's from the point of view of the Mad Hatter, and I'm sure its going to be very dark, a bit humerous, and amazing!

I am unbelievably excited for this movie. Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite books (stories in general) ever, Tim Burton is one of my favorite directors/producers, and I love Johnny Depp as well! He is a total genius. Oddly enough, I am fine with the fact that obviously this film is not going to be like the book.

Not to mention the incredible art that Disney has come out with for this film. WOW. Just looking at the photos is like stepping into another world. Imagine how the movie will be!!
