summer project #1

I bought this amazing chair at the Seward garage sales a few weekends back for $5.

The cover was completely torn and way fugly...

I finally had some free time this weekend to make it a new seat --->>>


and here are a few of the dog just for cute:::::::

I ♥ Wisconsin

Zack, Emma and I spent some quality time in the heart of Wisconsin this weekend. I rediscovered by affection for consumerism in the dairy state as well:



<<<>>>these are some treasures from Ray's Closeouts. I've been a customer at this store since before I can remember, yet I always find something new. The place is full of amazing stuff, everything from yard butts to Elvis clocks<<<>>>








<<<>>>Country Cupboard in Wautoma, Wisconsin is probably the best thrift store I've ever been to. It's the kind of place you dream of when you're at Savers or Unique and you realize the place has already been picked over by everyone in town, and then their friends<<<>>>




we found a not-as-abandoned-as-we-thought-at-first ski lift in the woods. Turns out it's in use, but not in the warmer months (obv). But still neat.

My dad found a turtle



Thorpedo of Thorp, Wisconsin is our new favorite restaurant ---->

Updates!

Well, I finally updated my website with some new work (well, some of it isn't really that new...new to you!) check it out if you feel so inclined. Also - I had to change my domain name!!! It is now:

easter - a little late

Crystal and Aaron joined Zack and I for some Easter brunch and egg dying. There couldn't be anything more perfect than an egg, really.

corduroy

It seems so rare these days to find a truly inspiring magazine. I discovered Corduroy a few weeks back and find it to be utterly refreshing given the lack of variety these days. The magazine is only two issues old (in fact I was so blown away by the one that I picked up I had to order the first issue online) and I hope that they can keep up the momentum. So if you're in the market for a new art/culture/fashion magazine check it out!
