Weekend Bliss

And so it began...I got my hands on this fabulously dark reddish brown hair dye, that i couldn't live without..HArd to see in the pic..but i assure you-it's pretty yummy.. Needing some inspiration...something to spice up the mojo..i took a drive..through the hills, and came up with this:
Shortly thereafter, we ended up in Philadelphia for a little fun in the sun.. enjoying the fountain barefoot...cool cool water...needed that..
Across the street was the science museum..WHere i took this picture...or rather, coerced Jeremy to..I had to coach him through it..he's not much on photography...
I got to learn to make paper...LOVED every second of it..Really inspired me...might go buy a kit...
After all that science museum goodness-we walked around to find a DELICIOUS sushi "cafe" in downtown. I scored this pic of J..which i had to try twice for..
Check out the presentation of the salad...It tasted as good as it looked...I assure you...


Some random downtown goodness...We had a few drinks at a bar on this street...After a few drinks or so..and some tired feet, we decided upon some ice-cream...I've never seen sooooooo many flavors in my life...SERIOUSLY..annddddd they were open til 11:00pm??!!
In reading the sign above, Jeremy sure did leave a happy customer...(i made him make the cheesy face with the thumbsup, b/c it made me smile real big..) Maybe i should've had him take the picture of me. ;)
I got caught up in the moment for this one.. i really dig all the street signs, etc. clustered together like that.
Randomly moving past the city...(I'm out of photos)I'll get into some fabulous things..

These are THE shoes i found at PAYLESS...i can't even remember the last time i found a good pair of shoes there...LOVE them...they're pretty dreamy...
And here is an accordian ATC i made out of the kit i got from Studio Calico..Surely need to get movin on using some more of that goodness...
And lastly, for good times sake, here is a "mini book" i put together of all things good coming from ol' Tiffo...The ever so fabulous...art driven...soulmate of a best friend of mine....Steals my heart....Well....I got lots o' art to do...Father's day is gonna kick my ass if i don't get to steppin...XoXoXo

Any famous last words?!

This weekend we drove up to Philly for the Italian Festival. That, all in itself was one of the coolest events I've ever been to. Imagine walking through the streets of Italy filled with the stoutest cheeses, homemade bread, some rather eccentric meals, roasted pig sitting atop a counter, Some of the best artists and italian vendors from all over, as well as music that will move your soul. That about sums it up. That same afternoon, we wound up walking the streets of Philly to attend a party, to which our newfound friends famous words for the day were...oh-you can walk there. We just gotta get to the 600 block.. Well to walk there, would require more of the alcohol (that we didn't bring), a GOOD half hour or so, and a perfectly good pair of feet...That hadn't been walking all day.. It was a hell of a journey. I'd say we walked almost 2 miles.

The houses around here are so eccentric..Very narrow and tall. Loud to calming colors. Some covered in Ivy, with some of the prettiest iron doors. But my favorite part was all of the window boxes full of fresh flowers..MMmmmm


Here's our new found philly friend, Mary..And lastly, a picture of the house structure...
Now onto some random things i'd like to make note of..
I made this card for jeremy's mom, for mother's day..)
A few exerpts from my mom's mini book..And Jeremy bought me this. LOVE***

Also, while I'm rambling...Jeremy's contract will be up June 16th, and we will be traveling to the next city. We are still waiting to find out where that might be. For the record, i'm postponing school as I do not have the money and FAFSA says i made too much money last year..Because of said information, we will temporarily be persuing other things. I will have to figure out another way to com eup with the money...::insert huge sigh here:: We will simply enjoy the moments we have out in the world..
