never looking down i'm just in awe of what's in front of me

happy monday! i *loved* reading all of your "thankful" comments from the last post ~ my blog readers are so great! and without further ado, the five postcard winners are: mary (lovelylittlelife), asha (abimages), kari (artsymama), crystal (poco-cocoa) and lisa (theselfaltered)! ladies, if you could email your address to me at artsy{at}corikindred{dot}com i'll get your 5 postcards sent out asap.

that top image is of a pretty window-scape (is that a thing?) in downtown portland. the middle one is somewhere in the utah desert, and the bottom one is of some pretty swiss chard at the farmer's market. random, but summery. hope you're having a great week, and thanks again for all the fun comments!

in my mind i’m havin’ a pretty good time with you

i can't even believe it myself but today is my * five years blogging anniversary *!!!!
(i refuse to say "blogiversary", sorry)

it didn't start out as much (mostly just complaining about my crazy landlady and bragging about my amazing niece nika) but it's become so much more ~ it's cheesy but true, i've made so many amazing friends and connections through blogging.

so as a thank you to *you*, just leave a comment on this post and in a week (july 12th) i'll pick *five* people to send a set of these 5 postcards to (one of each, wrapped in pretty vintage sheet music). and if you need something to comment about, i'd love to hear 5 things you're thankful for right now. i'll start: yummy biscuits and peaches for breakfast, an amazing birthday package from my sweet friend abby, my family (even though they're far away and i miss them), that i'm not quite out of polaroid 600 film yet, and watching fireworks with my honey last night. your turn!

tomorrow comes today

just wanted to let you guys know i did a big mushroom & moss vintage shop update! such fun, summery stuff ~ i'm really excited about it!

also a big *thank you* to andrea and jan for the awesome post on poppytalk today about my bike makeover. love it!!

have an amazing weekend!
