Charlottesville antique and custom furniture shop, And George, writes a great blog.  Have you read it yet?  I also love love love their photography.  Images of the shop, design work, entertaining, and other beautiful things grace their blog.  This morning I opened my google reader to find a breath of fresh greenery from And George.  Gorgeous!

There's still a little summer left

Don't let these last days of summer pass you by... sit outside and enjoy the green!

I'm recovering from a fabulous long weekend with my sister. We toured the city and ate more sweets than we should have! Luckily we also walked and walked and walked {so hopefully some of the calories from sweets were burned}.

All images taken at the Boston Public Library.

Public Gardens

I went on a walk down to the Public Gardens today. It was really gloomy, but the flowers were still vibrant.

Twists and Turns

A rusted old umbrella stand in my parent's backyard. I remember this when it was new held our green market umbrella on the deck. It has been cast away to the side yard, where it has been laced with rust and weeds growing through the negative space. I love all the chipped paint and details in the curves.

Mom, don't throw this one away! It has potential.

I'm such a computer head! Just one more post for you readers tonight. You people must think I'm some crazy consumer... this is partially true... I do like to spend some money on cool stuff. I mean really though, who doesn't??? Bills suck. Wouldn't you rather have tons of fun spending money to buy everything you ever dreamed of? Thanks to the internet barrier ( i.e. I'm impatient and hate to pay for shipping... basically means I don't order much online) and my budget, I find a lot of cool items that go unpurchased. That being said, I still feel like they need their proper reveal online, so I'll share them with you readers! Without further adieu... behold White Flower Farmhouse. Vintage-y goodness that's all cleaned up and affordable! Yippee. Enjoy these finds. :)

Note: I really do have more to do with my life than shop online (work, gym, cook, hang out with friends and family, etc). I am just amazed at how many cool things people make and find, and I have to share these with you! One day soon I'll post some homemade stuff.
