exactly one year ago...

...i was riding the train home from college for christmas break. a few days prior, i stood under the space needle, feet sore from ice skating with friends in seattle center. i miss christmas in seattle. yes, i do. but i also love christmas in portland. {especially the not having to study for final exams part.}

{see the christmas tree on top?}

found it on regretsy: wedding gown, anyone?

in case you're not familiar, etsy is an online marketplace where individuals can sell vintage and original handmade items. it's a pretty fabulous way to find unique art, accessories, home decor...the list goes on. {and support small businesses across the globe, at the same time!}

i personally love etsy. i've found lots of fun gifts. for myself. and for others, too. however, i've also run across some interesting hideous finds.

that's where regretsy comes in. regretsy is the self-proclaimed "fail blog of hand crafts." a collection of etsy's worst of the worst. and it's hilarious.

And the for the rest of the bridal party, maybe something like this?
But you’re the artist!

monday night concert {recap it up.}

last night started out with these guys. and their hair. i really have no idea who they are.



then we moved on to these guys. they were fabulous! {the accents were a total bonus.}



these guys rounded out the night. i'm not sure what was better: their dance skills or the dance skills of the people around us. {answer: their dance skills. i officially want a tambourine, now.}
