in like a lamb

Spring: in like a lamb fashion show at Republic. Presented by lamb, smooch, and capelli. A chance to see some lovely people sport some of the latest styles. Enjoy...

Jaclyn...her sweet smile says it all, she is a bright spirit.

I ran into Jaclyn at the Farmer's and Artisan's Market, part of GRPL's celebration of Earth Week. She is a wonderful artist who uses recycled material as her medium (check out the bracelets made of vinyl below). Jaclyn has always had this boho/hippie-chic thing going on. She still has it, even when bundled up on crisp Spring day.

Another thing I love about Saturdays is they often involve a trip to one of my favorite places in GRR...OK, on Earth: the public library. It has two of my favorite inanimate objects: books and rocks. The marble in the main entrance is spectacular.

I met Lexi, who kindly let me take her picture for this blog. I enjoy her hardware and graphic T. I also like the fact that she could have gone heavy with the eye make-up, but didn't. Mostly, I love the look in her eyes. Like the many books in the library, she has a story.

an ode to saturdays

Saturdays are one of my favorite days of the week. It’s a day when we often run errands that involve the family (getting a particular item for the home that requires consensus…or an outing to the farmer’s market.) Saturdays are also days where we are not too rushed to stop and chat with friends or friendly people that we meet along the way. I love the sense of getting things done but at a pace that allows me to connect with my community and my family.

It’s been busy and somewhat chaotic in my home these days. We are having our living room walls painted (see result at the bottom of this post) and this means I’ve been too busy to post any “observations.” Imagine my delight when I run into Johnny and Shannon while we shopped for a rug to suit the new walls.

I’m further delighted by the fact that Johnny is a research microbiologist. Scientific hipsters are dear to my heart!
