those of you in seattle will know that these photos are a bit outdated. the leaves have since been soaked and stomped down by rain and last week's bout of snow (yeah, we had a big snow last week that is now pretty much completely gone).

i can't believe tomorrow is december. don't tell anyone, but i'm sort of dreading gift giving this year. don't get me wrong, i love giving gifts in general, but there is so much pressure to have a gift by a certain day that it takes the fun and magic out of the whole process. i can get pretty consumed by finding the perfect thing for people and i'm not really up for spending a lot of money right now. last year i committed to buying all my gifts from locally owned stores or handmade artists and i am going to stick to that plan this year. i'm sure i will find my inspiration soon...

  2. I think your commitment to buying local and handmade is awesome! I'm going to try to do the same. What are your favorite local gift places?

  5. Hi! I just discovered your blog today. I'm loving the photos that I've seen so far (especially today's post). And I noticed that you have a Yashica Electro too! I just got one a couple of months ago and I'm in love w/ how the pictures come out. Anyways, I'm looking forward to your future posts!
