HOLY COW.

These prints are pretty good.

Speaking of teensy, awesome, dollhouse-related things: Rachel informed me today that the miniatures at the Art Institute GET DECORATED FOR CHRISTMAS!  Tiny halls decked in festive finery!  Teensy ornaments on teensy trees!  Baby mistletoe!  A mini-yule log!  Historically accurate, miniature ormamentation!  I can't even handle this.  I'm going next week.

Happy Merry Holidays!

Happy New You!

XOXO,

Lindsay & Rachel

Oh dear. I am obsessed.

And, for the record, I am well-aware that this is the most expensive LDS-inspired silk skirt IN THE WORLD.  But it just looks so comfy and comes in every color.

Rachel, Juan, & Lindsay = Not very hilarious

Rachel, Juan, & I tried (unsuccessfully) to take a sidesplittingly clever photo booth picture this weekend at Renegade.  It was, in fact, a grand failure.  Turns out that we're just not that funny.

In other news, Juan bought this, which I am so jealous of.  And I had it in my head that I would purchase this, but Verameat was out. 

OMGRACHELJUSTSENTMETHIS!!!

I'm freaking out.

Dala Horses!

All of the dala horses over at the Dobbin Mews Holiday Shop are PRETTY CUTE.

It's weird when you find yourself on the internet.

Sometime in July, Rachel's sister Andrea visited from New York.  It's all a tad fuzzy, but, somehow, Andrea got her hands on a disposable camera as part of this project.  She took a bunch of photos here in Chicago, and in NY it seems, and then, apparently, sent it back.  We just found her roll, and it's totally awesome.  I've been looking through some of the others, too, and they're all pretty neato.  This internet thing is totally weird.

Of a Kind- Dusen Dusen

Speaking of backpacks, because everybody needs at least 7, I wish I had $175 burning a hole in my pocket today.  Dusen Dusen's Trail Rucksack is SO GOOD.  So good.  I also really like the textile tutorial they've put together.  Ah, I wish I was a thousandaire. 

Fjallraven

 Through unintentional, probably detrimental, late-night internet usage, I've managed to win myself this Fjallraven Kanken on the eBay.  It's a bit unnecessary, as already have the world's most badass leather backpack, and a bit unplanned, as I hadn't intended on spending a Sunday night spontaneously bidding on Kankens.  But, nonetheless, I'm pretty exited about its arrival.

All of this, however, has got me thinking about an idea Megan & I came up with this summer.  We think that Fjallraven should offer custom, DIY, paint-by-the-numbers, pick-your-own-colors, etc. etc., you-get-the-idea Kankens.  Like, you know, make-it-yourself-Chucks or designed-by-you-Keds.  Personally, I want a pink and purple backpack reallll baddd.  Originally, our plan was to start some kind of petition-y website to get our voices heard (and to get the Fjallraven people's attention).  And then maybe suggest some colors?  And the like?  Whatever happened to our SWEET plan, Megan?
