Last Weekend in the City...

...This weekend is kind of bittersweet since this is the last weekend that the BF and i will be in the City together until September!

I am happy we will be on the cape...i feel like life there is a different speed, that we are more care free but i also feel like life there has a lot more drama. I do not like drama.

Oh well, enough about me... The sky is gray and gloomy...it is supposed to rain all weekend... nice, huh! it has rained for like the past 4 weekends.

OK, but onto things that make me happy!!!

Look at the great stuff for my truck!

Guess who made this! I think it was Jenny...hehehe! Jenny made this!
(I know, i am corny)
But Jenny is a talented lady who makes "bags and stuff from recycled materials!" which i think is super cool :)
Her stickers are so eye catching, and her business cards are awesome and sewn from recycled paper...i wish i was that crafty :)

This is the sticker and business card from theflashbulb!
Her stuff makes me happy...thats it, just happy inside. The sticker and business card is so well done...it makes me wanto to touch it because i looks like fabric... i think i may need some flashbulb for my walls :)

I had to photo the back of the business card and the card she sent me! She has her own cards! how cool is that! The card is so pretty it is on my cork board! I want my own cards now! i think it is such a nice touch :)

And if anyone wants to know where i will be Monday all i can say is hot dogs and beer :)

Spending a Monday night like this will make me not hate the end of the weekend as much :)

A Bicycle Built for ME!

Ok, so my bicycle wasn't really "built" for me, but i feel like it was!!! It was exactly, down to a T what i was looking for. It is a blue Columbia mens bike with a metal basket. I found it on craigslist for $70 and my tune-up at the adorable little bike shop down the road was only $25, so i feel like a cute new bike for less that $100 is a good deal!

My little bike is in really good shape too! it is a 1977 but only has some minor rust spots that are totally cosmetic. I have day dreams of feeling European riding around the city doing my errands, putting fresh bread in my basket to a romantic Amelie-esque soundtrack. In reality i am out of shape so i huff and puff up and down hills on my one speed and back pedal so no one hits me and i hit no one else! But it is always nice to dream huh?

This is my bike!

Look at the flowers i made for my basket :)

Yesterday the BF and i went for a 4+ mile bike ride around the water. We saw a lot of new things and it was super fun! except the part where i think i bruised my butt from my seat and my legs hurt all night :) I know i just need to ride more and more to work out my muscles but jeepers creepers did my legs ache!

As you can see this was when i was happy and didn't realize my legs hurt yet!

They had awesome murals of natural life on the walls on one stretch of path so i had to stop and smell the flowers!

Look at happy boy flying with the fireflies!

So, because of the adventure and then the hurty legs i didn't get chores or etsy stuff done so here is my to-do lit for today:

1. Make something for etsy (at least start it)
2. take pics and post my belt on etsy
3. do laundry
4. wash my floors!
5. go for a bike ride

Hopefully next time i post i will have some etsy stuff to show you!
