golden nugget and the moland house

a few weeks ago a friend and i went to the golden nugget in lambertville, nj. it's a really great flea market where you can find many amazing things.

i found about 5 awesome paintings and drawings just in this box.





on the way home we stopped at a historic house that i've driven by many times, but I never could convince dave to stop and see it. jenni was up for it so we stopped and are so glad we did. the moland house was one time George Washington's headquarters. it was built in the 1700s as a residence and has been restored.


the kitchen:

the kitchen sink.

a porch.

how gorgeous is this shade of blue?

and this shade of yellow. do you love this this asymmetrical fire place as much as i do? i want one.

and a hand quilted quilt.

custom baby boy quilt

here are pictures of a baby boy quilt that i made for an etsy customer. it was made with joel dewberry herringbone grass and some other coordinating fabrics.

step into my hyundai

ok so in real life i own a hyundai (actually we own 2, and i love them, but they are not "cool" cars).

my first car was a 1974 super beetle, in orange. and it ruled. but ever since then my cars have never been as cool. although they are practical.

the neighborhood beside us had a car show the other weekend so we walked down there and saw some sweet rides. we like to imagine that these are what we drive.

we'd own a camper...


and a convertible...


and an electric car...

baby girl quilt

the pictures could certainly be better, but here they are. this custom quilt was made last week and obviously photographed at night.

it looks better in person, i promise.

p.s. if anyone understands iphoto, please give me some pointers. i edited these and now the unedited versions are the only ones i can find.
