Secretly, I'm wishing it was June. However, that completely goes against my New Year's resolution of living in the moment so I will spare you my Top 10 reasons for loving summer and hating winter.
1. So instead I decided to "ombre" my hair. (Well, technically my friend Jackie dyed it.. please see "Summertime in aisle 4" post for instructions).
2. I moved into a new apartment with my boyfriend Brandon! Yes! SO, this month has been about interior decorating... something I am so well versed in as it has only been recently that I have removed the magazine cut outs from my walls and upgraded from a floor bed. However, my bear and blanket will stay. That is non-negotiable.
So we drove up to Maine to find some inspiration. Most was found in Brandon's mom's basement and on Popham Beach; shells, driftwood, an old stump and a lobster trap.
We also managed to find some KEY pieces from Ed's Stuff "Recycled Goods: Buy'N-Sell'N-Trade'N" an antique shop on Route 1 in Woolwich. Everyone should go here mainly for the sign on the door which reads "If you see something you like take it and leave the money in the drop box or call me 207-443-2732, I live 10 minutes down the road . - Ed" Where else can you find an antique shop (I'll use the term "antique" loosely) and leave money for your purchase in a box? Only in Maine.
3. Something that I am EXTREMELY excited about in this new year is the BEST Christmas gift I recieved from my grandmother, Mimi (a true Mainer and an even truer sweethahht). Now, I have to apologize in advance for what you are about to see is not available to purchase anymore because an item this HOT is understandably sold out....
LL Bean's Cozy Ruffled Nightgown (I know most of you will try to order this rush delivery but I am sorry to say it is sold out.)
So there you have it, some serious excitement for the New Year!
