snaps from the weekend....

graue mill - a little river running through suburbia reminding me that once there was nothing but trees and fields and marshes here

beautiful mill wheel

stone wall by the riverside

thrift store finds!!

english tin tray and floral dishes to hang on my wall -

i have a rotating wall display of them

eco tip: buy plates or trays for your walls from a thrift store then when you are done with them you can pass them on to others with something yummy on them like a cake (ie for a new baby, thank you gift, just to say you love someone or really really like them...)

couldn't leave this little blue bird behind

japanese retro print from on a very cool plate i bought for $2.
it will likely makes its way to my wall after i use it

for pancakes and sandwiches and then i'll pass it on

carnival in the strip mall in aurora, il

helicopters....

happy friday!! what are your plans for the weekend?
here are some worn but persistent helicopters (that's what we call them) trying to find a safe place to land and root and finding respite in my daughter's hands at that moment. i love those little hands. paz, k

transplant to the country....

you must check out saidos da concha blog. concha is a portuguese transplant living in the english countryside of straffordshire, england. she creates such beautiful photographs and even lovelier patterned clutches. it is a delight to wander through her blog and live vicariously in a place where meadows are the norm and bowls of fresh cut flowers adorn her home like jewels. enjoy!

happy friday friends!! paz, k
