young buffalo

My friends' band, Young Buffalo, was featured in the U.K. paper The Guardian last week.  I'm so proud of them!  Check out the article here.  For those of you in London, they'll be playing around in February, so check out their myspace for more info!

elephantine

Maybe because her name is Elephantine, or maybe because her jewelry is so delicate and beautiful, this is my new favorite Etsy designer.  Can't wait to make some purchases!

ski mississippi (for real).

Around the South it is not uncommon to see ads or t-shirts sporting the clever "Ski Mississippi" photograph of a cotton field.  The past few days, though, it REALLY felt like we could ski Mississippi!  It snowed TEN inches!  Unbelievable!

The Mississippi Gift Company

Had way too much fun with the dogs...they didn't know what to make of all the snow!

And poor little Forrest was buried half-way deep in some places...

My sweet, precious sister.

paris je t'aime: winter

I've been lucky to visit Paris throughout various seasons.  Here are two of my favorite pictures that I took last winter:

dressing up the tree

For as long as I can remember, my family has topped our Christmas tree with an angel.  This year, my mom and I decided to try something new.  When I came home from work this evening, my mom handed me a roll of 5-yards of ribbon and a few shiny, decorative branches (I lack a better term...).  The pictures above show what I did with it.  I'm proud of myself!
