if i had my way

in my annual summer obsession with 1991-era deadhead style (i call it the kyle ripka after a boy from high school who really mastered the look), i found this great set of photos on flickr that included some pictures of one of the last shows they played at soldier field. later in the day I looked for a youtube of samson & delilah just to listen and BOOM!

the first video that popped up is from the same show that the dude’s photos are from (i think). that’s probably not all that WHOA-worthy, but I whoa-d anyway.

holiday home inspiration of the art of display of vintage christmas in the corners of my home sweet home

3 of my favorite things: peeking inside the homes of others, displaying stuff and christmas decorations (and crafts). so it makes sense that the flickr pools Corners of My Home and The Art of Display are blowing my mind right now with amazing photos of people’s christmas decorating! Holiday Home Inspiration, Vintage Christmas and Home Sweet Home also have some fun christmas stuff. take a little click-see and check them out .
