Wishing for a pool and the sun

Today I wish I were in this hammock...

 at the end of this pool...

relaxing in this bathing suit...

Love Leighton!

or maybe these shorts...

or this dress...

Yesterday it rained all day and all night. Things are certainly green, but I'm ready for some sun! 

PS. Have I mentioned yet that I now live in the Midwest?

Beyonce Makes a Guest Appearance

I'm with Jamie from Furbish Studio, I would have stroked out. Props to these kids for waiting until the end to mob her! That's some self control!

Just one more

This post from a photography blog is pretty awesome. It reminds me of the moving photos from Harry Potter, especially the girl in pink in the fifth image.

Now I've got to start packing for my trip to Utah for my grandpa's funeral. In two weeks I'll be going to California for his other funeral. Wondering why there are two funerals? He's being interred in Utah (where he was born) and we're having a celebration of his life in California (where he spent most of his life).

Day of Links

A few things I've been enjoying...

Hilarious Google reviews of Bin Laden's compound

Beautiful typography on old fire insurance maps

Intricate and whimsical vintage clothing for tots

And finally, not a link, but even better:

Hazel. My favorite niece. I'm dying to buy her some of those vintage outfits!

Isn't this the most beautiful toothpaste you've ever seen?

I just love this packaging! Marvis has a lot of unique flavors and I hear they're all delicious.

Gorgeous! I've seen it priced at up to 10 bucks a pop, so it's not cheap by any means, but it's great for a splurge or part of a gift.
