Brimfield Antique Show

Post where Kat and I scrape the surface of a 4-day Antique show, on the last day in under 8 hours... 

Brimfield Antique show is held twice a year in the Colonial town of Brimfield Massachusetts.  The show had hundreds of vendors, and fills counteless city blocks and fields.  You will definately need 2 days of antiquing for the committed.  

Here are some highlights of the adventure: 

Downtown Oakland Architecture

I fell in love with downtown Oakland this spring/summer. Here are some pics of details that caught my eye while strolling through downtown one evening this August. 

Marin with Marley in June

I am watching Marley for a few days, and we are both early risers - which is great because it gave me a chance to get out and take some sunrise pics of my favorite hill in Marin - Cherry Hill. 

Baby William

Newborn photo shoot for the Kneafseys neighbors.  Word of mouth is great!  Here are a few of my favorite pics from the mini-shoot: 

Robin's Graduation

I flew out to New York for Robin's Graduation party. She graduated from high school this year, and I thought it would be a nice surprise for her.  We had such a nice time together while I lived in NYC.   

1 week before the trip however, she fell off of a fire escape, and crushed both of her heels.  She will be in a wheel chair for months, missed her graduation, and prom.  

I wish you a speedy recovery robin - I love you, and thank you for letting me kiss your cheeks, and braid your hair like old times. 

Ivy

I spent an afternoon with Kat, Ivy, and Kat's brother-in-law Shawn.  It was so wonderful getting to meet Ivy for the first time. I got a little teary-eyed, at how sweet Ivy is, and how blessed I am to have friends with wonderful beautiful children.  Ivy is also a natural in front of the camera! 

Jazz Age Lawn Party - or - My Own Personal Burning Man...

This past weekend in NYC, Lea and I went to Mike Aranellas Jazz Age Lawn Party held on Governors Island.  This has been on my bucket list for a few years now, so we went all out. Here are some pics from the event. 

Big Basin

on easter sunday Dan, Ashley and I were sitting around strumming guitars, eating pancakes, reading nytimes, planning trip to Big Basin...... we are an industrious folk, and that is what i love about my people.  Here are some pics from the trip.
