Sorry we didn’t post at all last week. Jake and I had a family emergency and had to make an unexpected trip to Colorado and we just got back last night. Being home made me miss the quaintness of a smaller town where you can have lovely picnics like this one. Out here in California a lot of people have …
Rental Sweet Rental
Source: Judy the Jazz Cat Our first apartment lease is coming to an end. We got a letter in the mail a few days ago from management that so kindly told us, if we don’t tell them we are moving in the next few weeks that our lease will automatically be renewed for another year. Jake and I weren’t planing on moving …
Finder’s Keepers: Log Bowls
Source: Loyal Loot Aren’t these just amazing? I love the rough wood texture against the smooth and shiny bright colors. These bowls are made from reclaimed wood logs gathered by hand in Alberta by Loyal Loot. I’m sure there is a lot of precise time and effort put it to each of these bowls, but I can’t help but think, I would like to try making …
Finders Keepers: Prehistoric Planters
Source: Plaid Pigeon I discovered these a few days after my friend Erika’s birthday. She’s crazy about dinosaurs so I was a little disappointed I missed out on the perfect occasion to give her one. I think she would have loved these. I know I do. Plaid Pigeon is constantly selling out of these planters. They are in pretty high demand and it is just run by a husband …
Grain & Gram
Grain and Gram: The New Gentleman’s Journal couldn’t have a better name. It is definitely a manly man’s domain which is what I love about it.

The World At Our Fingertips
I’ve alway loved maps. I remember as a kid when our family would go on vacation, my dad would have this huge atlas that had a map of every US state. I would try to find where we were and where we were going. I thought it was so neat that the world was laid out right there on that piece of …
Day After Thanksgiving
The day after Thanksgiving, or as we like to call it, the first day of Christmas, was an amazing day for Jamie and I. We avoided the long Black-Friday lines and shopped the deals online from the comfort of our bed. After another Cinnabon, we got up and began to decorate our first Christmas tree. There’s not much I can …
