I’ve been remiss in sending out thank-you’s to people who sent me little birthday packages. My apologies, life was sort of insane that first week of June.
First, a giant thank you to a very talented friend from Boston who sent me this amazing book. The whole thing is drawings like this. SO cool! I can’t wait to read it.
Then, my gramma sent me a cookbook that has recipes from 100 years of her church. I am seriously looking forward to comparig the old vs new. (and trying some new dishes!)
There was also an amazing bottle of wine, and equally amazing cookbook from the newly-married Bonnie and Rob
the wine bottle is a paper doll! We had fun making her lose clothes as the bottle was drunk. realistic! ha.
I also got a gift card from wayne’s mom, which magically turned itself into a replacement yoga mat! Yay!
And then Wayne got me the cutest shirt ever from Etsy seller DeadWorry
tentacles!!

Threadbanger was one of the sponsors for the weekend’s ICE festival, and it’s a really cool site. I’ve been staring at wall decals on Etsy a lot lately, but haven’t found anything that was exactly what I was looking for. I might just have to make my own using this awesome tutorial.

Apparently my puddlejumper skirt was on the front page of Etsy on my birthday! However, I was recovering from Bonnie’s wedding and missed it! poo. What a great birthday present though! Yay!
Anyway, here are two verybad pictures from the wedding. They had the BEST cake toppers! They’re puppets! So cool.
and a bad snap of the ceremony itself…
They had just done a reading from the Velveteen Rabbit, and being a girl, of course I cried. Bonnie looked amazing, so gorgeous. The whole wedding was so casual and intimate and fun and pretty.
Thanks Bonnie and Rob! I hope you have a lifetime of love and happiness together!

I got this in a newsletter today from my friends at the GreenGirlGuide.com
They’ve been running an awesome little website about fashion-friendly eco-consciousness, but apparently national geographic thinks they own the use of the words green and guide…
T-Minus Five: Say Goodbye to Green Girl Guide
Say what? Yes, as of June 23rd (sniff) GreenGirlGuide.com will be no more. We didn’t want to say goodbye, but a few months ago National Geographic sent us a cease-and-desist letter because of a perceived conflict between our site and NatGeo’s TheGreenGuide.com (Who knew?) and suddenly, what started out as a side-project for three green-minded women suddenly turned into a David and Goliath story of epic proportions. With no resources to fight the geological giant, we’ve decided to part ways. But we’re not gone for good, oh no! Mia Wasilevich has some soon-to-be-announced projects coming up; Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff will launch www.ecostiletto.com on June 30th and she’s hired Courtney Owens Zielinski to design the site. And we’re still green girls, even if we’ll no longer be Green Girls. KIT, ‘kay?
I’m really sorry to see them having to do this, but kudos to them for being such good sports about it.
To National Geographic? SHAME ON YOU This website was no threat to you, nor could it in any way been misconstrued as being by or supported by you. This is an example of exactly what is wrong with the present state of the corporate world, marketing and branding. Ugh.

From the YoungBlood gallery mailing list:
An amazing world-wide group, Nest, that was organized to fund women’s businesses in developing countries is having their Nest Atlanta kick-off party this Sunday. Please join us and show some love to the cause.
There will be fiesta-style food and drink donations by area restaurants and local designers will be setting up shop. It’s hosted by Luxe and 1*Five*0 on Marietta St. in the West Side.
