colonial williamsburg.

our ultimate roadtrip destination was "colonial williamsburg."

a place i've heard of all my life.

and i actually got to go.

squee!

someday...i'm going to work at this place.

seriously.

giving tours. working in a shop giving demonstrations. performing.

it is my dream.

i mean...how cool is it to be able to "live" in the 1700's all day?!

to dress up and teach the public about history...in a totally awesome and fun way!

to work in a location that actually *was* around in the 1700's.

where history is so totally alive.

so. cool.

basically. colonial williamsburg is like mixing my two favorite things:

history & performing.

you guys...someday i will work at this place.

in the meantime...you should all make a point to visit colonial williamsburg, meet patrick henry, tour famous buildings, go on ghost tours, see ladies making wigs, and get a glimpse of what the 1700's might have been like.

tinfoil kite.

lately i've been a little crafty obsessive...about anything from blanket forts to kites.

i really, REALLY am dreaming of making a kite that's absolutely perfect and flying it.

alas, there is no wind...and have not had the chance to make one as of yet.

so there's only one thing to do...make a fake one from tinfoil at freebirds.

it's kind of magnificent.

(i made the bows!!)

and according to a reliable source...it is still hanging there.

pretty sure if our real kite turns out as amazing as our tinfoil kite...we'll have the best kite in the whole entire universe.

of yellow doors, movie projectors, and old trucks.

one of the nights we were in joplin, we were invited to an old barn to watch cartoons on an old movie projector.

on the ride over there i saw many of my dream homes.

check out the yellow door.

is that not magical?!

even more magical was the amazing movie projector.

one day i WILL have one!

it was soooooo amazingly fun.

and watching cartoons has never been quite so funny or entertaining.

how could the night get even better?

seeing this DREAMY turquoise antique truck!!

can you say dream car??

maddy and i "ooo-ed and ahhh-ed" until we were literally shoo-ed out of the barn by my mom.

it was a magical night.

5 happy things - blanket fort style

thanks to my friend maddy...i've become terribly obsessed with the idea of building a blanket fort.

not only have i been saving pictures like crazy, but putting things together to MAKE one!!

we have the perfect location.

the perfect tools to build one.

and now all that remains...is to make it!!

(it's on our summer list)

but for now...here are some of our inspiration pictures!! :)

the ukulele. the teapot. the typewriter. oh my.

all of the adorable sheets make this perfection.

bunting and giant flowers?!?! yes. it's going to happen.

loooove the lights draped around the inside.

such a cute slumber party idea...! no...i haven't grown up.

if i had a million dollars.

...this is the coat i would wear.

dreaming of the day when i can shop at anthropologie.

dreaming.

dreaming.
