After an embarrassing number of purchase-and-returns, I believe I’ve settled on these shoes for the wedding. (Purchased at DSW, a choice made even sweeter by free shipping and a significant coupon I had just received in the mail from them.)

This was the only photo I took on Saturday. Not the best lighting, not the best framing, but—what can I say—one of my favorite subjects.

A photo of my friend Savanna’s cat, on a visit to her house last Friday. I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this before, but I am definitely a cat person. And Gil, well… Gil can’t breathe if he’s around a cat for more than a minute. So it looks like I’ll have to get my fix from other people’s cats from now on. Oh well–it’s a sacrifice well worth making. And I have a number of friends with cats.

One of my closets. Please note the wooden hangers I got at Ikea last fall; I’ve wanted wooden hangers forever. I’m not sure why. Probably too much HGTV as a child.

My whimsical rainboots, yesterday afternoon on my parents’ back deck.

One of the lamps in my room.

Gil, in yummy late afternoon light.

Here’s a sneak peek of my wedding dress; it’s a vintage gown I found at a local second-hand shop, which I am going to have slightly remade. Be excited to see more pictures of it later. (Though probably not until after July 23rd. )

Glass jars in the hallway at school. The light Friday afternoon was amazing.
