may 2011. I was here.


"Dear Monday,
Thanks for having the word 'mon' in you. That's French for 'mine', in case you weren't aware, Monday, but it makes me think of you more as 'my day', and frankly, that sounds like a much more promising start to the week."
-Unknown

Mine. My day, but as much as I love you, Monday, my favorite days seem to come in the form of weekends. The days when I not only get to go with the flow, but impact where the flow goes.

So, here I Was. May Days.


I have a theme party to attend this month: Royal Wedding. So of course, a headpiece with a birdcage veil is a must.



A little backstory: my boyfriend grew up in an area on the outskirts of town. Living in the country meant not always being able to have rides into town to hit up the basketball courts. Some of the community got together and created a pretty legit basketball court in the loft of a barn.
The ultimate clubhouse.


Happy End of May!

I'm a total city girl, but there's something so magical a big old barn, especially with sun shining in through the roof beams. So pretty :) And the bird cage veils? You really can't go wrong. Those photos are adorable!

I do not play basketball.

I tried once. In 4th grade. On a team called the Bulldogs.

I sat on the bench.

Just thought you should know.

I like that you've been posting more pictures of yourself lately. You are beautiful, for one thing, but seeing pictures of the Blogger helps the reader to connect with the writer. I'm not attracted to blogs on which I can't easily associate a face with the writing. :)

Tash said...

Ahh love the country and hello basketball court in the loft of a barn?! Too cool!
I so love weekends too. Your photos are great!

Brenda said...
