hi! i left town for a few days with my mom and sister.  this is what riding in the car with us is like. in case you missed that craziness. haha 🙂
[before we left houston we totally ate at baby barnaby’s – my sister had never been. GASP!!! ]
my super awesome sister insisted on driving the whole way!  so i kept her company by poking her every once in a while, and sewing 🙂
hmm…i got in some sort of a [houston] texas kick. haha

my sister lives in dallas [as i have mentioned a billion times] but is in houston for part of the summer!  my mom, sister, and i stayed in her apartment [in dallas] this weekend and it was awesome.  we shopped and took naps.  how great is that? 🙂
i also visited the dallas flea thanks to a lovely suggestion from pamela michelle [of etsy dallas].  Meeting online pals is cool!  We had interacted briefly over the whole etsy dallas vs etsy houston craft party meet up thing and other “craft drama” – that even sounds lame. 🙂
the dallas flea is pretty much a vintage/handmade flea market.  the building was really awesome!  …but the lighting sucked and the walkways were pretty cramped.  BUT i still think the location was cool 🙂
i totally hit up this girl’s booth and bought a yellow frame, which you will see plenty below…and a purple owl. haha
something else i bought in dallas?
this super cute bathing suit for my trip to greece….which is quickly approaching!
it’s from anthroplogie. i used a GIFT CARD. no judging!
and this simple [and cheap!] little dress from forever21.
which is also really fun to spin around in 🙂
um, the photo above made me smile like crazy!
i’ve been running/rollerblading for a while now…
and i, personally, am finally seeing results!
now what to do about those arms… 🙂
upon my return from dallas i wanted to photograph my crafty car endeavors.
sandy helped 🙂
but first for some quality buster time!
she’s pretty much the smartest dog ever.  look at those glasses and her dignified little grays 🙂
also, in case you missed the “attack of the lizard pup!”
okay, fun facts about sandy.
she is 1.5 years younger than me. i’m currently 27 and she is 25 [26 this july].
she just finished up her first year of dental school.
sandy is 2 inches taller than me.
she looks more like my dad than my mom.
sandy’s eyes are blue.
um, sandy <3s teeth. 🙂
i am off to an etsyhouston meeting.
bye 🙂
i convinced daniel to show off his new facial hair “trim” hahaha
don’t mind the insane hair!!

p.s. SHOP UPDATE HOLLA 🙂
