Michigan Weekend

went up to michigan for the weekend with my parents to the lakehouse and mother nature put on quite a show~ we watched the storm move across the lake and then went out to hike around in the fresh powder

FIESTA!(ware)

i have always loved fiestaware- and last night my mother came down to dinner and suprised me with some fiestaware of my own! thanks mom!!! she said it was high time i get some matching dishes in my life (nevermind fiestaware doesn't match at all) but that's besides the point- the point is i now have lovely lovely dishes. now if only i knew how to cook....anyway- i was inspired to get some photos of my new plates, so here they are basking in the afternoon light! (good thing for you it's winter, or i would probably post shots of them on my front lawn as well!)
