Thanks Jenie!
We had an absolutely beautiful weekend. Hope your side of the world was lovely too. The weather was grand so the Small Burst family went for a gorgeous bike ride along the Potomac river on Saturday. When we got home a package was waiting for me at the door. Jenie, my truly amazing and beautiful friend since high school, sent me a sweet bag she sewed. I just adore this bag because of the colors, the print, the size, because it’s reversible, but most of all, because I think of my friend every time I see it. I remember when we were 17 years old, Jenie and I spent a whole afternoon at my kitchen table sewing shorts. We must have sewed 3 or 4, maybe more. We actually wore them to school. Makes me chuckle thinking about how hard we worked on them and how imperfect yet perfect those shorts were. She sews like a pro now. Way to go, Jenie!! If you get a chance, say hello to Jenie on her blog. Oh, man. You have got to check out her wedding day slide show. Gorgeous, gorgeous wedding and the photography is impeccable. It captured emmotions and love between her friends, her family and her beloved Aric. If I was a photographer, this is exactly the type of images I would capture-real moments, real emmotions, real people. I need a kleenex everytime I watch. By the way, her honeymoon adventures are documented in her blog too. Just as amazing!!
I am glad you enjoyed your weekend. I adore those old cameras too! Fantastic.
I covered your topic on my post today. I hope I did it justice.
Sounds like a wonderful weekend, and nothing beats incredible surprises like receiving a hand-made bag from one of your best friends!
Its always nice to keep in touch with old friends. And so cool that she made a bag for you. Very crafty. I love biking. We actually went around our neighborhood this weekend too. Now the heat is back ugh. Hope you’re having a great week!
