where have i been?!

i always feel sort of guilty when i go for a few days without posting; almost like blogging is a job and i just decided not to show up.  i'd like to say i had 8 million things to do that kept me from it, but i'd be lying.  the only thing that kept me from doing just about anything besides complaining and eating crazy bread is cramps.  those little jerks.  but i did want to tell you about the locavore festival in charlottesville on saturday!
































scarf: birthday gift to myself via ross // dress: birthday gift from chris via forever 21 //  jewelry: i made it (dinosaur toes) // clogs: lotta from stockholm

when i'm going to something like this i always like to dress so that 1. i'm comfortable (duh), and 2. so that i can wear something i've made and be walking advertisement!  remember in my last post the picture of flojo caught in the act of brooch destruction?  i had to laugh when i saw these pictures because i've caught her again!  only this time she's chewing at the little strings on my scarf.  she's so pretty though, how can i be mad with her?






















so i have to admit something to you - i'm so, so, so bad about actually remembering to pull out my camera when i really WANT to take pictures.  i took my big film camera with us on saturday so i could take pictures of my little display, of arlie and i, and of charlottesville in general since it's so pretty.  but can you believe i left the camera in our vehicle which was parked several blocks away?  i'm really doing something i do NOT like here and posting cell phone pictures, but i want to at least show you a few things from the day (including the most delicious popsicle i've ever eaten - a homemade lemon ginger dream)!

and one more thing: the giveaway for 100 postcards with your design will end tonight before i go to bed, and the winner will be announced on friday, so don't miss out on the chance to be an awesome penpal or promote your business!

  3. I do the exact same thing with my camera, too. Except I'm even worse cuz I forget it at home AND THEN I forget to pull out my iPod to take pictures! I try to chalk it up to living in the moment though. We're enjoying ourselves too much to document it!

  5. that flojo! yea same thing when rosie scratched my chin, i couldn't be mad at her, she is SO soft. LOVE your dress very very much. i need a very classic black dress and that one is pretty perfect and i am sure the right price too. i always like wearing something i made while at a craft fair too, it is great and people really like it.

  9. Glad to see you back in action. Your shoes are crazy cute and they look way comfy. I tend to do the same thing with my camera. Its like I forget I brought it with it or by the time I find it in the black hole that is my purse, the moment has passed.

  12. That outfit is gorgeous!!! And I love how your birdie is nibbling your scarf... I had on a pretty blue shirt the other day, with decorative beads around the hem (teeny tiny beads, slightly bigger than poppy seeds) and Jango was trying to pull them off!!!
