Rolf & Daughters in Nashville. I was sold. I want to move in.

Nashville is one of my absolute favorite cities (but who isn't in love with Nashville?). There's a spirit in the city that kind of feeds my creative side (well. duh. it's Nashville.) and one day, maybe I can visit there a lot or live there for a time.

P.S. I also have changed the url to my blog. As much as I have loved having whimsical harmony...I wanted something that was a bit more relevant to me as a blogger. SO just remember my name and '.blogspot.com' and pass the word along if anyone else cares to hear!

On the roadtrip back from Richmond, Garrett and I stopped in Durham for a quick bite to eat ( Toast ). We saw extremely nifty ways to wash high up windows, drank Boylan root beer, and people watched.

thursday

My mom. She's beautiful, and I definitely take her for granted.
Yesterday, Meme, Mommah, Savanna, and I went to eat lunch at Little Donkey (and here). Afterwards, Savanna and I got lattes at Octane and Mom and Meme got Buttermilk pops at Steel City (let me overload you with links :D). Sav and I learned what types of cocktails require raw eggs...we also picked out vintage stamps for Savanna's wedding invitations.

My sister and brother are getting married a month apart this fall.

WHOA.

a snippet of my summer

chelsea and i discovered a little pocket of happiness during a joy ride.

later we drove back with our camera and realized it was too bright for photos...so we trekked across the road and sat on a mexican blanket waiting on the sun to dip just a tad bit lower in the blue sky.
THEN, it became too hot for us to wait so we went ahead and snapped our photos and went on our merry little way (and took showers...)

back in July...

A trip to Atlanta is always a treat.

But when you go with a handsome fella' *cough*Garrett*cough*...it makes it even better.

Garrett, Zac, and I drove up to Atlanta to drop Zac off at the bus station so he could make his trek back to Florida. (sad face)

After we dropped him off, we went to Mary Mac's  (holy snap. delicious.) and then to Octane Coffee  (we hit up the Grant Park location. and lemme tell ya, not only is the place beautiful...but it's tasty).

We also walked around and shopped a bit.

Our day trip in captured image:

a summer

sometimes all it takes is a summer for you to realize how much you love your life.

or to remind you of the blessing of

 .home.

GOD is good.

repeat x 1,000,000,000,000

and words never do justice to the warmth in my heart directed towards the people in my life.

a day with film

Monday was a good day.

Garrett and I went to The Red Cat Coffee House (Red Cat)  and sat for a few hours talking, drinking coffee, and reading Jose Villa's photography book and taking some "slightly educated" photos. Reading that book is like studying. So good. So beneficial.

 Ashley (friend at AU, owner of Open Eye Photography) gave me a roll of film for my birthday (come to think of it...she also gave me the book) so I wanted to use the film and get it developed in the same day. 

We then went to eat at El Barrio   and fell into a food coma from the delicious food(!!!).

THEN met up with some kids (Clay and Serena) and went to see 'Snow White and the Huntsmen' at the dollar theatre. (also. holy cow. so. so. so. good.)

Here, are the Adventures in film:

Sum-sum-summer

the small things are what make summer...summer.
spending the afternoon at the boulder fields with cool kids. and then being able to grab dinner with friends.


but THEN learning that we're (bonhomme) about to make a spontaneous music video at the base of vulcan. 
funny story. 
i'm wearing nike shorts, a fluorescent sports bra, tank top, and toms.
i end up masquerading the nike shorts by tucking the white piping under and throwing on Garrett's chambray button down (and then I just so happened to have my boots in the car). So I was able to look like I actually had decent clothes on while the guys chilled in their plaid.


ya know?


that's what summer is all about.


and popsicles.

remember this? yeah. i'm actually wearing nike shorts. shhhhhh.
