1969

this was a huge year for world!
i would have LOVED to see it
all taking place :)
 
ohhh and there was also...
w o o d s t o c k ! ! 
jimi hendrix opened with the 
incred national anthem on his guitar

everyone seemed so happy
i absolutely love it
there was nothing to worry about
romance <3
EVERYONE came!!! wowwww
3 days of love making
drugs and rock n roll
ha what more could they have
asked for?
can you even imagine seeing
all of these people play!?
ridiculously epic
this is what it looks like today
i want this ride
and this teepee 
what a beautiful time
yup, def have all the music 
from woodstock on my ipod and
truly enjoying it :)
i think this weird obsession has come
from the book i'm reading, just kids. 
it's beautiful. i love stories from
older times. i love history. 
kinda weird right?

c a l i f o r n i a

where summer never ends
and dreams come true
well, my dreams that is
hoping it won't be long until
this is home sweet home :)
looking forward to...
exploring the cities
morning runs to the beach
falling asleep to the sound
of the oceans waves
making new friends
having those from utah visit to
enjoy this new adventure with me
romantic sunsets
scenery 
reading my book by the pool
cruising the streets 
via my bicycle
and surfing :)

yup, this is where i belong.

Just Kids

just bought this book and i haven't been able to put it down. i'm so intrigued with her path through life. her words are deep and poetic. here are a few short paragraphs that i love, just to give you a taste. 

" i suspected my soul, being mischievous, might slip away while i was dreaming and fail to return. i did my best not to fall asleep, to keep it inside of me where it belonged."

"but nature with all her force would have the final word. the irony that i, who never wanted to be a girl nor grow up, would be faced with this trial did not escape me. i was humbled by nature."

"she was the one who gave me the last piece of encouragement, a thief's good-luck sign. i accepted the grant of the small white purse as the hand of fate pushing me on."

"i was superstitious. today was a monday; i was born on a monday. it was a good day to arrive in new york city. no one expected me. everything awaited me."

monday's quote

"what should i do about the wild and the tame? the wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. i want to be held. i don't want you to come too close. i want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. i don't want to tell you where i am. i want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me. i want to be with you."

craft ness

somedays when i'm feeling creative i start working on little projects i've thought of.. usually i end up running out of time or losing interest. nevertheless here are a couple little crafty ideas i've recently stumbled upon. hopefully i'll get around to them after this semester ends :)
 i love the idea of miniature notes and bottles. it reminds me of alice in wonderland.
 cooking creations are so fun! i love getting creative for different parties/events. these dr seuss cupcakes are adorable.
 how great is this?! framing your favorite pieces of jewelry with some pretty lace and an old frame. love.
 you can put this ring together and the gears even move! so different it's wonderful.
homemade cards are always better than store bought ones, that is a given. although i've been lazy and haven't made a cute card in awhile.
 i'm not sure if i could pull off putting something like this together but i love the idea of it! it screams disney to me.
first of all i want this book. i love the stars and wishful thinking. aside from that how inspiring would it be to have words from a great book on your dishes?
i'm buying a sewing machine this summer and i can't wait to put pieces together, like this apron made out of vintage hankies. 
i love this. the end.
