we're still moving........

hi everyone! looks like i've still got a few friends checking in on the progress of swapping this bad boy over, so i just wanted to send a note that good things are happening and we'll be enjoying our new site & moving these posts come October.

hopefully we'll see you then (a link to come soon!)
zzz - court and jayda

YEHESS! my love of pups & type, together. at last.

the truth about colorado?

so this is what the CO real estate documents carried on about?
regardless, every state gets a roast. LOVE what he says about every southeastern state:

we're moving!

dear blogger.com,
i believe that blogging should be fun and not a struggle. therefore, jayda and i are moving this blog to a new site. we'll be posting from a lovely world where formatting issues and baaaaad html won't fight us anymore. cheers!

friends,
as soon as we're adjusted to our new blog we'll send an address. thank you for all the lovely thoughts!
p.s. ---- this 69 camaro is my dream car. you can find alternate shots right here.

the flower bin : longmont

all these photos were taken by me (because i am a complete dork, and i fully accept that) but you can click on any shot to hop over to The Flower Bin's website. this place is amazing, in business for over 40 years! i could spend hours sitting in the middle of their flowers. the staff was happy, the light was abundant + the energy was exhilarating.

seeking fabulous intern(s)

know anyone who might be interested in a super-fun design internship this summer?

i'm the graphic designer/creative enthusiast for Vickerey, an amazing eco-friendly clothing, bath+spa and paper company, and would love some more help this summer with a ton of fun projects. i promise this opportunity will rock said intern's world. i have a little something for everybody, so all creatives are welcome to apply.

music & wine - a perfect way to wednesday

946 Pearl Street, please stop by and have a glass? here's the lovely Leah Holz

my 3rd boulder anniversary!

remember your first "i live in Boulder" realization? -- you know, when it really "hits home" that you live in one of the most beautiful, eco-friendly, animal-happy, nature-loving, outgoing communities in all of the land?

i remember the stars in my eyes, and still have them! thanks boulder, for a wonderful 3 years. here's a Rio marg to many, many more.

happy little mountains

yehessss! i pinned this to my pinterest board before i was even awake this morning (terrible case of insomnia) i found it on my profile by lunch and laughed my ass off. so technically speaking: somehow i stumbled upon etsy dudes in my sleep, and will be forever changed. they're hilarious & have an amazing taste for design. i hope i get a chance to meet them someday, bright-eyed &  bushy-tailed, of course--saaay, after 10 am. this lego Bob is from the nolnet's flickr pool. you can find the guys on tumblr at: http://etsydudes.tumblr.com/

and, just for kicks... if you ever want to paint the mountains of Colorado, here's a quick how-to from the man:

an AMAZING weekend at the PETCO Mega Adoption Event

boulder, thank you for holding off the crazy hailstorms, lightning and other wacky May-Day weather escapades so we could have a wonderful day of adoptions. the Boulder Humane Society teamed up with 27 other incredible shelters and rescues in our local area. we laughed, we cried... we adopted 7 dogs to new homes! it was an amazing day. here's some of my favorite shots:

Outside Lands Music Festival

i am sssswooooooning over the line up for San Francisco's Outside Lands Music Festival. unfortunately, i can't get there in August,  so i created this playlist for my imaginary teleport to the sunny stages. enjoy!

right as rain, i am a prisoner of optimism

i would love to extend an enormous thank you to my friends who hang in there with me,  

letting me float around on innocuous clouds of fairy dust. a sunny-weather-loving girl 

(in the middle of a rainy season) has to focus on the positive: flowers and fire-resistance.
