I See Faces

Found Object Faces at Sushipot Vintage

One of my favorite tags to browse on Instagram is #iseefaces. It's always fun to see the faces that others discover in mundane objects or find obscured in the urban landscape.

I put together this set of faces for the shop. Many of these little faces have been following me around for years--most of them were picked up on the Gulf Coast. Guess it's time to set 'em free!

We have big plans this weekend. Patrick and I are celebrating our twelfth wedding anniversary on Sunday. You can peek at our wedding pics I posted last year but all you get this year is this family portrait of sorts. Hah!

Eleven Years Ago

Eleven years ago today I married my best friend. We've both changed a bit over the last decade 'n a year--most noticeably, Patrick has laid his labret piercing to rest and my hair is (much) much shorter. I'm looking forward to our next eleven years. Happy Anniversary Patrick! I love you.

Happy 40th Anniversary

My parents are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this weekend. I may get in trouble for this but I know my mom reads my blog and I stole these pictures of their wedding day in 1971 from her Facebook page (ha!). So before I sign off for the weekend I want to wish them a Happy 40th Anniversary and a safe voyage on their week-long celebratory get-away! Love you Mom & Dad.

Happy Friday all--I'll see you back here on Monday!
