Quit Clowning Around

A few weeks back I met up with my old college roommates for the weekend so we could attend BYU Women's Conference and also shop, eat and discuss all sorts of nonsense to the point of hysterical laughter. When we were in the planning phase of this year's SHREX (Sperry House Reunion EXtravaganza) I thought a clown-themed photo shoot would be a grand idea. You see back in our Sperry House days we were such a circus that we earned ourselves clown names one by one starting with Bozo aka Jenny. They have stuck with us (my name is Chums in case you were wondering) and so we decided to take it to the next level. Thanks to my tripod and self-timer I was able to jump into the group shots. We rather enjoyed ourselves despite the occasional snowflake. (I'm not kidding, it snowed. It was THAT cold.)

Maybe today I'll get around to editing/posting our Easter photos. Until then, here are some brilliant images by girlhula. She was the street artist and the photographer mastermind behind these. Sounds like fun to me! Check out her blog here.

This great print is from ashleyg

and a few of my recent treasure-hunting acquisitions:

Peapod Treasures

Did the Easter bunny bring you good things? If all you got were marshmallow bunnies and a few jelly beans then treat yourself to some affordable vintage/vintage inspired jewelry! I recently had the pleasure of meeting the gal behind Peapod Treasures. She's real sweet and her jewelry creations are too. (But with a little funk so they're not too sweet.) She's got that formula perfected and I had a hard time narrowing down my choices of what to purchase. Below are 2 of the 3 I decided on. Check out the rest of the fabulous options in her shop!

...has been so cold and yucky even our Easter eggs need to wear sweaters. For directions on keeping your Easter goods protected from the elements, see this cute knitting tutorial. Happy Easter weekend!

I only got a few of you but...

April Fools!!!

Normally I am super gullible and fall victim to some prank because I forget that it's even April Fool's Day. This year I decided things would be different. In case you're still confused, there is no bun in this oven.

Fortune Teller

Took that picture at Cargo yesterday. I went there in search of these:

Which I found. And also this:

The "miracle fish" told me and Jeremy that we're jealous and fickle but it failed to report this:

Looks like I've got my own "miracle fish".
