Monday! Monday! Monday!

On Saturday Leanne and I went to an art opening at Domy Books.  Even though the art exhibit wasn't so great the bookstore is amazing! One of the best parts was when we were leaving and Santa Claus walked around the corner, there were two guys standing outside smoking and one said, "I think I was getting high with Santa!"  The East side can be such a wonderful place.  Anyway, when we were looking around the bookstore I got the idea to make my own Laser Cat book sort of thing.  Here are some images I played around with to get things started.  

Inspirations for a Sunday Afternoon

Ahhh!  I don't remember where I got these, but they're all love-lee!

5 Senses

For your eyes.

For your ears.

For your mouth.

For your nose.

For your fingers.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday!

Once again I'm spending my day off working on things for the store.  I've got a very ambitious to-do list today and I'm hoping to get through it all: 5 sweatshirts, a dress (I got the best gold leopard fabric!) and record some music for Leanne's still unfinished short film from last January.  I think there will have to be a nap in there somewhere, maybe a little reading, and perhaps a documentary.  I better get back to it!

Falling for Paris

Found: A Boyscout and A Brownie

I'm still fantasizing about going to Paris.  I started reading another book set in France, The Lumiere Affair, which is turning out to be fantastic.  I also just checked out Foreign Tongue: A Novel of Life & Love in Paris, I know it sounds super cheesy but I'm hoping it'll satisfy my wish to be there.  I'm considering taking French classes (perhaps a good Christmas present, mom?) and wish so very much that I had taken it in high school and college instead of Spanish.  C'est la vie.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

So I'm a little slow when it comes to watching really great TV shows.  I didn't start watching Six Feet Under until about two summers ago when it was over.  Arrested Development was introduced to me after it had been pulled from the air and I couldn't protest it being cancelled and almost the same thing happened with Mad Men.  I don't know why I avoided it for as long as I did (not having a TV probably had something to do with it) but it's absolutely fantastic and for someone who studied production design and loves vintage clothes, sometimes I cannot get over how amazing this show really is.  I finally got all the way through Season 3 and am very impatiently waiting for the day that Season 4 will be available on Netflix.  If anyone would like to buy me the DVDs for Christmas, it would be a very welcomed gift by both me and Leanne.  :)

My attempt at Mad Men-ing myself.

You Really Can't Escape Christmas

It is everywhere.  In the stores, at your coffee shop, in your music, in your house, (maybe in your spirit).  I feel like Christmas should have come and gone already based on how long Christmas decorations have been out.  I think most of them are collecting dust already.  It seems that the weather in Austin finally got the hint and tried a little harder to emulate what December should like look.  Cloudy, cold, but still lovely.  Even though I'm not always able to get into the Christmas spirit, I do love winter.  I found these lovely pictures by Miranda Lehman that perfectly capture a wintery world I would love to live in.
