The first thing that I have been keen on lately are big, bold yet simple vintage earrings. I found these pairs of earrings at a local thrift store and they were only 50 cents a piece... you can't beat that!
Lately I have been a huge fan of baking. I love putting a bunch of ingredients together and seeing them transform and work together to create a work of art. I'm not a huge sweets fan (unless it is laced in peanut butter) so fortunately, by the time I am done baking I don't feel like eating the done product.. which is good for my health and good for my family who want to devour them. My latest purchase was a large muffin tin that I found at Hobby Lobby.. it was the cheapest and largest one I could find and it is by Wilton.. I have made strawberry cream cheese, and banana muffins already.. Mmmm..
With the humidity as it is now, I have been dreaming a lot about Colorado and why I love it there so much. With its cool summers, beautiful mountains and sunny skies, its no wonder I am drooling over the thought of such a place. I went to Estes Park and fell in love when I was in high school, but I think I would fit in more in a place such as Colorado Springs and there I could be a hippie artist and own a Subaru.
I have been overloaded with snail mail lately and I adore it! My boyfriend and I have been writing letters back and forth and it feels so old fashioned and romantic to get a hand-written letter. Also, I got my first letter from my penpal from Cali yesterday. Unfortuantely, I have been too busy to respond.. but I am super excited to be writing letters, and getting to know people more in depth in the process.
So the most inspiring and beautiful time of day to me is the sunrise. I don't see it very often (thankfully) but when I do it makes me smile and fills me with warmth. It is a sign that God has given us one more day to live out on this earth, and it makes me feel like that day is precious... a new beginning! If all pans out right, JB and I are going to wake early enough to watch the sunrise for our 8 month anniversary on Thursday (yes, we celebrate months!). I hope its the most beautiful one, yet! (I took this pic of my friend Aby last year.. and this is where I want to take him!)
Have a great rest of your week everyone! And remember to notice the wonders around you...
God bless, Em

First off I like the "new" blog layout :)
Now onto your treasures. You look really pretty in the vintage earings plus for such a good price you can't complain about that.
I really enjoyed the BM (banana muffin... ;) except it wasn't as big as my head but close. I'm so glad your such a good cook/baker.
Colorado sounds excellent or a beach would be great right now. We should take a road trip out there sometime :)
I'm going to miss writing letters and getting letters but I guess we can still do it everyonce in a while plus I'd trade letters for being with you any day.
And I'm pretty sure that picture of Aby is durng sunset...ours wasn't the greatest but it was still awesome getting to go out with you and be romantic :)
Great finds for the week Em! Love you!
