springtime merriment... and some changes!



Well, hello!


I'm writing this from home now. My classes are over for the summer, and I have three and a half months of dreamy bliss yawning ahead of me!
(Watch, come July I'm going to be bored out of my mind and pining for fall... haha!)

I got this peach '30s number in November, and it's been hanging on my wall, taunting me all winter. Now, at long last, the weather is fine enough to wear it out! 





Oh, notice something different?

1. I gave the blog a li'l makeover. Tell me, how do you like it? Is the rabbit background too schmaltzy? Be honest, now ; )

2. My hair's short-- I got the chop! Nothing too drastic, mind you; indeed, the way I've been carrying on at home, you'd think I got an Eton crop. I would still consider my hair on the long side, but it's much lighter and holds curls longer now. I haven't had hair this short for years, it's so liberating!

  5. I LOVE the bunn-ehs! But I'm biased since they're one of my favorite animals. And your hair looks great! Oh, and the Gee Whiz sign made me laugh...I work stocking for them! haha! But there are worse ways to earn a paycheck, all I do is talk to hippies and take care of apples for a few hours a day :)

  8. Thank you so much for the sweet comments, ladies!!

    Maya, that's so funny you work there! My dad likes to cut kitschy produce company logos off boxes and sacks to hang up, hence why it's on the wall, haha.
