my weekend in summary

my weekend in summary

this weekend started fairly early, and went fairly late. to a whole multitude of experiences in between.
the things you find in a small workshop where snow groomers work; a drive home in the darkest part of the city; lunch with a friend at the most perfect cafe (matchstick coffee) in their new location; cherry blossoms on grey skies are my favourite thing; i've granted myself the opportunity to relax - it happens once a quarter - at that; some of my favourite things from a pop up shop (nuez milk; rish jewelry; happy spritz; old kinderhook soap company; bittered sling); a brand new stack of books to start in my domination for world book reading-ness; the most beautiful tiny flowers; tone on tone is my new jam; old auto manuals in the most cramped tiny shop; told you - blossoms on grey skies.
hope everyone had a marvelous weekend

my weekend in summary

it was a weekend of outdoors. greyness was the tone of it all, and yet, there is always beauty in a covered space.
i love the stop i wait for the bus at immenlsey - there's this beautiful cross section of wires that seem so symbolic as i watch all walks of life around me. i can't help but take photo after photo; can't sleep - headlamp in bed; boys adventuring in the smoky clouds; the rock over deep cove - no matter how many times i end up on this rock, i can't get enough of it; taking in life; the sun finally came out as i was heading to work. perfect ending. 
as an addendum - this weekend was the 20th anniversary of kurt cobain's death. there is not enough to say, that can be said to say, the world is in his debt. for reasons innumerable - whether a fan, a lover, a follower, or not... it's all worth something, and he brought it to us. and today, peaches geldof was found dead at 25, and we are all reminded that life is a flash, and then it's gone... and at the very least, make it meaningful, and impressionable, and make sure someone remembers your name.

my weekend in summary

a weekend filled with art, and the finer things. (NSFW)
friday nights call for classy beer; art at the gallery - my kinda art; the clouds over the city; new books and familiar ideas; 'it happens at night'; some new pieces, and some repairs to a few old favourites; boy jeans and girl shoes. 
hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. 

my weekend in summary

this weekend is a long one. and even though i work weekends (and stat holidays), there's still something about weekends (long weekends at that) that makes me feel like holing up, wearing sweatpants, talking to my parents on the phone, and making lasagna from scratch (including tofu ricotta).
some photo shoots before my weekend begins officially - i love my job; complimentary cocktails at an event at Sutro hair salon - win, in my books!; they managed to wrangle me into their chair. hair, nails, cocktails, and some false lashes; the beautiful city as my friend susan and i walk along the seawall. i love grey days like this; we are both obsessed with chesnuts. so when we found roasted chesnuts on the street, we were like small children; finally back to beading. i'm feeling creatively 'stuck'; flowers sometimes help.
hope everyone had a great weekend!
