nicola: awww thank you!! hehe : )

mini

whew! i am sorry i have been away so long! i've been quite busy with graduations, outings with friends, & helping my mom with things around the house. & soon i will be on a family vacation. wow. & i thought i would have more free time when i was out of school!

anyways, the first photo is just some stamps my mom picked up & i thought they were awesome! they are "go green" postage stamps. they give many different example of how to be more environmentally friendly. click on the photo to see it bigger!

& i'm really loving my new instax mini 25! i recommend it for sure. just buy it online though, because at urban outfitters it is quite expensive! OR you can enter to WIN one like it on little chief honeybee!
i took it when i visited raquel a while back & took photos of her & her boyfriend (on the right) & her friends with their boyfriends. they loved them! (especially the boyfriends hehe).

lastly, if anyone has any photo suggestions for mine & nicola's here--and--there blog, please leave comments!!

well, that's all right now, or at least all i have time for right now. i'll be blogging again soon - hopefully!

nicola: hehe i knew you would like the ringo tag! i would totally text & call you if we could!!

amy: did you know about the head & the heart already??

sarah~mechelle: it is though! it just adds a certain something that you don't get through just listening to an album.

make it easy: it really was!!

hellomissa: hiii! aww : ), well we will just have to go thrifting together & see what we find!

fashioneggpplant: hello! thank you! the beatles are awesome : )

aren: awww your comment made me so happy! i had never heard of the head & the heart either, but i am so glad i found them!

iron & wine & love

i went thrifting with wendy & found this cute vinage dress with a ringo starr (yellow submarine) tag! i decided to wear it to the iron & wine concert : ) these are our concert outfits. we felt excited & silly picking them out & posing for these photos. (the first one is from my instax mini 25!) iron & wine was fantastic!! it was such a good concert. (the first photo is from my cellphone & the second photo is just for fun, because i thought it looked neat).what really blew me away was the opening band that played before iron & wine. they are called the head & the heart & they were spectacular live. here are some videos of their music! after the concert, wendy & i went to talk to the bandmates & buy their album. that night, when i went on facebook, i saw that one of the main singers (the main singer in the second video) friended me! haha. i thought that was neat : )

visiting wendy was so fun! & i'll miss her & her brother:
