Hi, this is my kitchen. I think I've managed to strategically crop out (most of) the mess. I get really bored of taking photos in the same places all the time (and I think the photos suffer as a result) so I'm scouting out new locations in my little apartment. I'm thinking of getting a cheapy tripod and remote to make this easier. Maybe I'll even take photos outside!! The remote should at least get rid of the blank "waiting for the self-timer to go off" face I have in like every photo.



This ring may look familiar. I lost the original a month or two ago and feel a little lost myself without it. I don't usually get super attached to inanimate objects (you how quickly I cleared out my closet) but I wore this ring every day and I really missed the little thing! Luckily they were common as hell and I had no trouble finding one on eBay for $7.50, shipping in. 50 cents less than what I paid for the original at a flea market a few years ago! This one is shinier and a size smaller but it's successfully healed that little hole in my heart.


I've been pincurling my hair a lot lately. I don't really know HOW to do it, I just kinda roll it up mindlessly while I'm watching TV and hope it turns out ok in the morning. For some reason my hair has decided to stop curling on it's own any more. Annoying!!

I'm getting a wisdom tooth yanked out tomorrow and I'm oddly kind of excited for it. At least I'm excited for the comfy naps and babying that comes along with it.

Nice hiatus IDIOT! Not a whole lot to post about in the past few weeks but I did do a couple half-interesting things. Like, I dyed my hair! red! INTENSE red!





A few months ago I found this beautiful fabric at Value Village. I handed it off to my personal seamstress (my mom) and it turned out to be the perfect size to turn into a set of curtains for my living room window and closet.




I'm not too pleased about my futon though. I realize the custom slipcover makes it like, the Cadillac of futons, but it's been sat on and slept on and cat-haired on for so long I think it needs to be retired. Besides, as hard as you try, there's just no way to make a futon look chic or sophisticated. I've been cruising Kijiji constantly but can't find anything perfect. In PEI, at least. I have a destructive habit of searching "retro" in cities I don't live in just to see what I'm missing out on.


what do you mean people aren't just giving these away on the side of the road???

All that searching had it's perks though, since I refresh the Kijiji iPhone app CONSTANTLY through the day I managed to stake my claim on these Eames-style molded chairs almost as soon as they popped up!
