I’ve said it before, but I love maps.  I could just stare at a map forever and look at how the roads converge and where the cities meet.  I love the idea of a pinned map – especially now that we have Wolf.  how fun would it be for him to look back at a map years from now and see the pinned places we’ve taken him and what year we went?  genius.

this vintage beauty is from Sit & Read.

these are fantastic.  kind of makes me want to plan some kind of party where decorated cakes are a must.

last year I posted about this rad tumblr blog called Summer Goals.  it’s edited by two Portland pals, Anne & Christie, documenting summer and all it’s glory.  I’m excited to announce that not only did these two ladies publish a book, but I’m happy to have contributed a few photos to it! the official book launch party is tonight in Portland {which I’m sad to miss!} and with other amazing photographers contributing, Anabela and Kate to name a few, it’s bound to be amazing.

the book is available for purchase here.  let’s hold on to summer!

if you instagram, then you know what the hype is about.  I call it mini blogging or blogging on the go.  how cool are these tiny books from prinstagr.am?  I’m thinking about buying a tiny book and fill it with Wolf photos…

I remember making friendship bracelets back when I was a kid.  at camp, secretly while in school or with friends.  one time I made one with 20 different colors.  it was an inch wide!

I love the bright colors used in these from Purl Bee.

a beautiful tattoo design from Mara of Neither Snow.

I am IN LOVE with this globe chandelier!
