When I was in University, my good friend Lauren and I would talk about taking a trip to Europe.
I don't remember why, but we dubbed it Snail Tour. It probably came from some delirium during a late night study session drinking insane amounts of coffee and eating sugary snacks. We doodled snails in the margins of our notebooks and talked about which countries we would see.
In 2006, Snail Tour happened. I spotted these snails today and thought of exploring new places. And how I love Italy.
I have a soft spot in my heart for typewriters and letterpress. This lovely find on etsy is a deadly combination.

I found this flower during a walk through Noe Valley. I don't know what it is, but it was so vibrant and open.Discovering a new band is like developing a crush. You feel like you have a delicious secret that is all your own.
An email excerpt from a dear friend:
Life isn't lived in success...it's lived in the tiny moments that are whatever they are. Trying to force them to be otherwise, thinking that they need to be something else is a guaranteed recipe for disappointment. You are lovely. Your life is lovely. But I can't prove it. You have to. In the end, our lives will be a collection of what we each made of them. Capsules of moments that delighted us, made us afraid, captured our attention, and showed us we are holy and magical. We each decide if we are willing to be responsible for the people we are. In the end, this is all but a dream anyway...you have nothing to lose, dear one...and you need no one's permission but your own.
I am in love with this bag from Queen Bee Creations based out of Portland. It's on sale right now too, but I must resist. Must. Resist.
I have to admit that I want to rub my face all over it. Is that so wrong?
I watched Objectified tonight at the Rio theatre. Great film with some interesting interviews and an even more interesting Q&A after the show.
I love documentaries because they fill me with delicious questions!
I don't know whether or not to be happy or sad. I have gotten many awesome things from these shops, but they do not come cheap. No sireee bob. My wallet is weeping.
