Artsy Fartsy


My new obsession is pinterest.com. I found an example of something like this and had to make it. It was really easy. I bought plywood at Home Depot, painted it with spray paint (I realized plywood is more porous than I remembered) then used 1" nails to create the shape of the "WOW" and anchors for the string. I then used crocheting string I purchased at Michael's tied it off on one of the nails and then went to town. You have to keep tension on the string, but other than that just keep going till it looks cool. It was fun and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Blue toes

This is a first for me. I got bruised toes from skiing last weekend! It was so worth it though. It was the perfect weekend to go to Baker. Everyone was there for the Legendary Banked Slalom so I got to see my friends, and we had fresh pow all weekend! Sunday was blue bird with 7 inches new! And despite the fact that I had never skied pow before I was killing it! Figured out powder skiing by day two. Did a little snowboarding too. Took the new T Rice board out on Sunday afternoon and hiked Hemispheres with Emily Dell. It was hard to leave, but coming back to Maui isn't so bad. Went surfing this morning, and there were some good waves, but I got a pretty good goose egg on my brow from my board. That's the breaks I guess.

Spirit of Lahaina

Some more old ones. Went on a dinner cruise with the roommates and Nicole's friends Erica and Suzy. Had a blast! Totally recommend going with these guys, Spirit of Lahaina is the name. Great music and Hula dancing, good drinks and Amazing food. The crew is really nice too. We went back a second time and got to see some whale action even.

The awesome crew!

Long Tail No Longer

Some old pictures I haven't shared yet. For a while now I have wanted to cut my hair, but by no means did I think I would go this drastic. Thanks to instyle.com I found that this short hair wouldn't look so bad. My friends pushed me to cut it this way, so I did. Not that I give into peer pressure or anything. But I am so happy with it!

The disco ball was my favorite part of this funky "salon".

Baby got Humpback






I finally feel like I am experiences Maui, and not just living here. It's been a busy week, camping in Hana, dinner cruise, biking, paddle boarding, and whale watching! Maui is a beautiful place, so many things to do and see. I've met some good people lately too. Nicole's friend Jonathan invited us to come out on the dinner cruise of the boat he captains, and also the whale watching. It's good to know people.
These creatures are magnificent! They are like huge puppies. They are curious and playful.

VEP






This is where I work.
Vintage European Posters.
"They are all ORIGINAL posters." Like I haven't said that a million times. But it's true, we sell antique posters that are sometimes older than the first world war. Actually a lot of them are.
