eight maids a milking

honestly i had no idea what i was going to do for this month's photo. may is always a crazy month and i left this project too long. i knew i wanted to do something white and creamy. the first image actually consists of a subtle line pattern but it is hard to see after i placed the bokeh image on top. i love the spots because it reminds me of cows. silly but true. it's very plain and not too creative but i'll try to do better next month.



see belle's photograph here!

happy feet

veiny, yes. but still happy.

the cotton club

tracy called me on monday night and asked if i wanted to go to this concert. i rarely agree to anything so last minute anymore but she made it sound so good that i agreed. i warned her that it better be LOUD or i might fall asleep on her shoulder.

not only was it LOUD, it was LIVELY and FUN and GOOOD. that's right, with three "O"s.

peering

now that truffle's bigger, his proportions seem to have stabilized and i think he's starting to look a little more like he did when he was a baby. only bigger. a lot bigger.

i bought this pin at a tibetan store near my workplace a couple of summers ago. i haven't worn it yet but i still love it. and i'm so glad i went in that store when i did because it's no longer there.

luxe

phew! i'm all caught up with my selfies now. i've been taking the photos but a little lazier than normal with uploading them. this selfie is in theme with - what else - the royal wedding! i wish hats and fascinators were de rigueur in toronto.

the eighties

i LOVE this sweater. i picked it up last weekend at courage my love for five dollars! it's half lambswool and half angora so it's super soft and super warm. i've been looking for an oversized sweater from the eighties for a little while now so i was beyond excited when i found this one.

songkran

i originally wanted to take a selfie to show off the new wrestling mask i picked up a few weeks ago. i paired the mask with a water gun from the songkran celebration. it didn't work out the way i planned and my selfie eventually morphed into this:

within the frame

cliché, i know... but i couldn't resist purchasing this frame for photo shoots. i've been looking for one for ages and this one was just perfect. and on sale too!
