on bucket lists and the beach

Hey, y'all! Went to Seaside for my little bro's basketball tournament this weekend. It was cold, and windy, and a little rainy, and very February. Actually, it was just kind of Oregony. But awesome nonetheless!

 

I was just absolutely in heaven with all these little sea shops all over the place. It was so romantic! (Sorry, been listening to Anne of GG on cd again.)

 

Vintage candy store...

 

 

And this adorable, delicious thing. On the inside of the wrapper there was an exerpt from Romeo and Juliet. ♥

From now all my chocolate must be wrapped in envelope wrappers please. Thank you.

  

First thing I saw upon entering hotel:

*Angel choir*

 

Next day we went to Nathan's games, and toured the shops some more.

That streetlight is a starfish. Your argument is invalid.

 

 

 

 

Okay. Now for the exciting. You might not know this about me, but my life goal as of two weeks ago has been to find a malt shoppe, like from the 50s. You know, you sit at barstools drink milkshakes, listen to Elvis, stuff like that.

 

So you can understand my freaking out when I found these.

 

 

I'm in love.

 

And then there was this lovely thing.

 

 

Swag...

...you're doing it right.

 

The beach was freezing and I almost got blown away, but HOLY PRETTY.

 

 

Nice man named Tommy making our ice cream. Yummy, yummy, yum. So much yum.

 

 

 

I love Oregon.

latest winter captures

When I think of a "beautiful" season I don't usually think of winter first. But wintertime is truly gorgeous.

These are some pictures I took in the morning the other day when my friend Linden and I went walking around the yard where everything was covered in frozen fog (including our fingers). I love the little frost crystals on the trees and leaves and flowers. It looks like they're all covered in icy fur. :)

You know what would make this winter even more awesome? Snow.
