new in the shop
New pink earrings named Fräulein, and a little bead necklace named Love Story. p.s. You might have noticed that I also redesigned the blog. It was one of those things that I just started playing around with on a whim and then ended up spending the entire night working on. Thank you, as alw...
The design is good! But I wish the comments section didn't dominate the page so. I liked it when I could just keep scrolling down and see lots of your photos.

Beautiful, as always! Such depth, in plot and characters, in such a short piece!

fiction friday: when we were young
We lived in a house by the sea. Nobody there had seen a family quite like ours before; we had hair the color of fire, and we were so rosy skinned, and so tall. We had to duck under the doorways of our neighbors. "Twins!" people would say. "We thought that was just a myth." But the Co...
tasteless haikus
My most recent method of turning idle time into something just a bit more constructive: writing stupid and silly haikus. Don't judge harshly, poetry afficianados. This is not refined prose; just trains of thought that I followed for 3 simple lines. Perhaps I will accompany these with photos soon. We... Continue reading

Oh, I love the beginning bit about the lipgloss and the kiss behind the art building. So sweet.

fiction friday: gift
Standing in the middle of Macy's, his head starting to hurt and his hands shoved into his bare pockets, he doesn't have a clue what to buy for Olga. What does she even like? Between classes, she's always spitting out her hardened gum for a fresh piece, and after wiping the moisture from ...
That first picture is lovely. I hope you don't mind if I try to re-create it!

hello, summer
Finals, Graduation, celebrations, rah-rah-rah, and THEN... Summer is upon us. Alas, my dear, of the brightest days and windswept nights, you have returned to me. Continue reading

Haha. No UV Filter. I actually did this video just to experiment with Adobe Premier's visual effects, and that "funny green ghosting" is actually the result of two layers of ghost filters. I thought it made for an interesting effect... But now that I've got the program all figured out, it's time for some serious film making. *rolling up sleeves*
And yeah. That song is the best thing I've heard in a while. Apparat is really great.

moondance
When I first heard this eerie song by Apparat, all that came to mind were images of a flickering fire beneath a dark, but starry sky. Perhaps the pulsating drum beat put me in a, for lack of a better word, "tribal" mood? And then the supermoon arrived days later, with such impeccable timing. I w...

stop to smell the roses
Well, not roses. Wildflowers. I used to think the only florists I could ever be happy with are on the West Coast... I remember driving up and down the hills of San Francisco, walking down the rainy streets of Seattle and pausing at busy intersections in Portland, always amazed at the colors...

troubadour
Loving the entire line from Troubadour. Perfect summer outfits, if you ask me ...
I love how every one of your "four things" posts have some sort of subtle theme. Either the colors, the moods or even the subjects themselves relate to one another... They are beautiful little visual quartets! Thanks for always sharing!

four things
1. A view of the Olympic Mountains from Sunset Hill Park. 2. Shadows on an otherwise rainy day, and a little girl's cute rain boots. 3. Slices from A la Mode Pies (mine was lemon macaroon, stefan's was mexican chocolate). 4. The lights at Caffe Ladro. (Photos from my instagram stream.)

I usually prefer black and white, but for some reason, I love the original colors more.

film, recently.
Some recent photos of downtown, shot on my Canon A-1 + Holga 120N. If you're interested, you can see the original color versions of the Holga shots here and here.

Pretty pictures! It must be so nice to be able to see such sights while walking near home... This is the wonderful thing about Seattle!

hi, it's me again.
So, about that cold – I'm almost back to normal. Almost. Can I just say that you are all so nice? Thanks for your well wishes. This is what I love about blogging, this strange, nice friendship that I get to have with all of you. Sometimes I feel guilty that I'm unable to leave comments o...

The jelly gem bar is like something straight outta Harry Potter. Yum.

zoë’s chocolate
The chocolate bars from semi-local shop Zoë’s Chocolate are among my favorites ... So, so good + great for gifting.
Nice photos! I also love the changes you've made to Elephantine. I really enjoy the snippets of your life you choose to share with us, I'm happy this blog has become more about you.

four things
1. Bought new house plants this weekend. This one is a Turtle Vine, or Creeping Inchplant. Welcome, little guy. 2. Rufus has been a bit more behaved ever since I wrote about his antics. 3. I'm about halfway through reading Will Write for Food by Dianne Jacob. It's a well-written and practical ...
Mm, yes, that place is where doughnuts from heaven land.

top pot doughnuts {belltown}
I stopped by Top Pot yesterday to enjoy what was aptly named a pink feather boa, a doughnut topped with pink icing and coconut shavings. You know what I love about this place? The floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
The most charming character sketch of a cat I have ever read. And charming pictures to match! Thanks for sharing.

just a regular cat
Sometimes I think Rufus's sole purpose in life is to drive us crazy. He will ever-so-gently claw at our faces while we're sleeping. He will stand on the dresser and grab me when I walk by, effectively hooking a claw into my new sweater. If we are on the couch late at night and he wants to slee...
