Le Bon Marche

   I've been watching Amy Sedaris interviews on youtube all night. She gives me the confidence that yes, I can be bad at crafts and still do them, and I can be completely entertaining while badly doing those crafts. My favorite video may be this one, where Amy just insults and antagonizes Martha Stewart the whole time.





    Anyway, I began doing a lot of online window shopping and found the cutest tea towel prints.
Le Bon Marche is a festive little company that has made my hankering to buy a goat and sheep farm stronger than ever before. Their products are inspired by the French countryside, which, now that I think about it, sounds like a pretty great location for my farm. But before that happens, I've got to get some of these tea towels.







    When I have a kitchen, you can bet your bottom dollar that I will not only own beautiful tea towels like this, but I will use them while cooking wonderful snacks and meals and sauces and hot drinks. Especially hot drinks.

Spent two days in Greeneville with the boyfriend,
and we were so proud after making a successful at-home dinner date of shish kabobs, local new potatoes, and cream corn. 
Fancy eclairs and bear claws from Peggy Ann's Bakery for dessert. :)  



And now, back at home, I have a new workspace for my blogging and art-ing! 


Also, wish me a big hunk of good luck for tomorrow morning- I have a job interview at a Greek restaurant! I need a job really bad, so send me some good vibes!

Found this fabric on citycraftonline. Wouldn't it make a neat-o mini dress? Oohhh with a white top....
I want to learn how to sew this next year. I've been looking around for a sewing machine to use this summer and hopefully take back to the dorm once school starts again. My friend Chloe makes dresses often and I'm pretty sure she needs to share her know-how with me. 

Oh, and for all you not-my-mom-or-boyfrienders out there, my first year of school is OV-ER and I am so so happy about that. College is fun and all that, but I really worked my ass off this year. I'm hoping for a summer of art, reading, and working for actual payment. I applied at Starbucks yesterday, we'll see how that goes :)

I'm switching majors from Theatre to Graphic Design and Creative Writing. So exciting!! Hopefully my new knowledge will help me become a better blogger. That's always the goal, right?

Here's a few finds from designspongeonline.com that I pulled today. I'm trying to build up an even bigger collection of inspiration for my oncoming semester in the big-bad design world. Lord I'm excited!

pretty things...

Rudi bird can't wait until spring time. I'm fully adapting the shorts/skirt and knee sock style this year. It's already making frequent appearances in my nighttime clothes. Is it strange that I'm missing fall, thuough? That was really the best season here.





ruche.

 It finally happened! I've had The Royal Tenenbaums on my movie list for EVER
and I've finally watched it!
It's pretty much the best ever,
although I do miss the humor in Anderson's other movies....
They can't all be Darjeeling's, I guess....



I just love the colors...


Now I'm supposed to go memorize math formulas I don't understand.
You have a good night.

love, rudi
