$1 flip flops at OLD NAVY

so the adventure begins with em and i waking up at 9:30 to go to old navy. boy were there a crap ton of people there. but em and i got our fix of flip flops this summer. we figured out a strategy while waiting in line for a good 45 minutes on how to get her to work on time. that's how much we love our old navy flip flops. i took her to work in her car and picked her back up at 5... taking me home would have taken too long. that is dedication right there. :) while waiting in line we meet many walks of life and i believe someone's arm would have gotten gnawed off if i didn't give up the purple flip flops i had to a mother in need of them for her thirteen year old daughter. 

em & i at work the next day on break both wearing our flippy floppys! 

my alphabet!

it was definitely an act of love... making all those letters by hand and stitching them together to stay in the shape was ridiculous! i cheated a bit using clear nail polish to keep shape also. this is a project that I've been wanting to do for sometime now and it became possible due to the fact that i had to make alphabet from 'found' objects for advanced typography.

A Dedication:

To all the loves of my life... to the graduating seniors at Columbus College of Art and Design. I'll miss you all wherever life takes you.

You've all inspired me one way or another and I just wanted to say thank you and I'm sooo proud of all of you! Congrats Grads!

oh how nice is this...

The time will come

when, with elation,

you will greet yourself arriving

at your own door, in your own mirror,

and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was your self.

Give wine. give bread. Give back your heart

to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored

for another, who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,

peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit. Feast on your life.

-Derek Walcott
