two friends
an ocean apart
post one photo a week
with no rules or themes
and no idea what the other is up to.
in a year we'll see.

happy shopping

We're having a big sale with steep discounts over at Goodwiu Vintage all weekend long. Stop in for a look, why don't you.

Maunawili Falls.

I decided I wanted to go after seeing these photos. Afterwards we spent some time wandering around downtown while the city was empty and quiet. We passed by one lady at a bus stop who had with her some bread crumbs and a hundred birds.

flamingos are funny

I know I'm kind of stating the obvious here, but some things don't get mentioned enough. The backwards knees and pink feathers are only the the beginning...look at their beady eyes, giant downturned beaks, and impossibly curvy necks. If I'm being perfectly honest, I find them a little bit frightening.

Another thing that is funny - When I asked Ava if she would like to see the orangutans she said no, she just wanted to see the "lizards and skinks." I wasn't aware she knew what a skink was.

covered ground

home inspiration: walls

Despite moving in almost six months ago, most of our walls are still pretty bare. It's starting to drive me crazy. Here's what I would rather they look like:

Hugo Guinness via Ali Loves Curtis
Linocuts + vintage frames + over crowding = yes please.

via thrift candy
Perfect. Now I just need a staircase.

via The Selby
This is completely unexpected (and awesome) in a bathroom.

via loveology
I'm particularly keen on the large piece in the middle...and the fact that the large piece is actually not in the middle.

stepping out

We have some guests coming for the weekend. The weather this morning has been cold and stormy, but I'm hoping it will clear up long enough for them to get some beach time in. Regularly scheduled erratic posting will resume on Monday.
