Radishes!

My first garden attempt has resulted in a handful of radishes. Yes, radishes are nearly impossible to kill, but I've killed a lot of plants in my day. Plants really do grow from seeds!

Spring...maybe...

It's a rather dreary May Day. Despite being stuck inside most of the weekend, I was still able to get some outdoor gardening in by purchasing a few plants from a local plant sale. Two Astilbe, one Hydrangea, and two container strawberries for the toddler.  Spring is almost here!

Busy Bag Prep

Busy Bags!!  Preparing for toddler travel.  I’ll post a supplies and inspiration list soon. 

The Table Studio

So the mini table studio continues.  My table is about to become a reoccurring guest star in my photos as well as random objects around my house that will fit on said table. You have been warned.

In today's spotlight is a small plant that my husband and I got at a wedding.  We haven't managed to kill it yet.  I love the green background that my backyard provides.  Enjoy.

Cookies

It's been a busy weekend this weekend.  Two parties and a lot of house cleaning.  And the new laptop has arrived so a lot of transferring files and re-downloading Adobe software.  But, no matter how busy the weekend, I always find a way to take a few new pictures.  I've been wanting to try out food photography but my kitchen has no natural light source.  However, my dining room does so my dining room table has now become a mini photo studio.  I had to make some cookies for a birthday party so I decided the cookies could be my first models. These chocolate chip cookies make me want eat a whole batch.

Glen Ellyn Theater

There are a few old theaters left sprinkled throughout the western suburbs.  The Glen Ellyn Theater is one of the few that still shows movies.  I love the colors and the old style lights.

Cafe

Makes me want to sit down with a pastry and a cup of coffee.
