rosy posy day

As the cat comes in to wake me from my slumber, I open my eyes to the canopied peaks of my darling bed tucked away in a secret attic bedroom.

While the sun rises, I take a long soak in the tub to start my day.

After  preparing hand picked eggs and fresh goat cheese I'll read the paper in the east facing sitting room

After indulging the mind,  I'll adorn the body with whimsy and color

I'll walk down the path to my little red barn where my loving animals reside.

Checking in on the new spring chickens, perhaps taking a few photos of them in impossibly cute positions.

A nap must follow such an entertaining morning, so I retreat to the orchard for a sun dappled rest.

Then perhaps a dinner party with a few of my closest friends

then off to sleep...

and dream of riding the subway in our underpants

Teeny Tiny Eggs

We boiled the baby egg.

It had a yolk tinier than my pinky nail! Probably as tiny as the pinky toe nail (which as many of us know... its barely existent!)

Anywhoo I was reminded of this miniature adventure by the lovely abbytrysagain on etsy.
{her blog is lovely too!}

"I recently returned to my childhood home and started to photograph all of my Mother's collections. 
This is probably her strangest one-a collection of eggs from all sorts of animals including geeses, snakes, emu and doves." link

Here is a lovely pic by my roommate, Joel, master photographer as well:

That's the tiny baby egg! We portioned it out and tasted tested... just as amazingly delicious as the large ones.

I spent some time this weekend learning the tricks and tools of the manual setting on our DSLR... took some knitting pics and still life (very low light!)

I'll post more of the still life later!
Thanks for reading

pretty things

Dear friends,

Forgive my lack of posts this week... the overcast skies plus a cold cold house (we discovered our oil heat ran out!) has contributed to my lack of creativity and blogging.

Soon the sun will re-emerge (i think) and I will leave the house for an adventure.

Travis and I have scheduled a DSLR learning excursion at Rooster Rock for some mountain biking, photography, and fun.

Until then, swoon over these lovely finds on etsy!
