Things I Love About Summer

Summer is definitely in full swing around here!  While I'm trying to stay caught up on orders and prep for Renegade Chicago, life is charging around me.  Lunch dates, pool time, house guests, vacation planning, last minute drives to Branson to pick up dream guitars, and friends, friends, friends... it's great.  :)  The best part is the amount of time I get to spend with my little Hope.  There is always such a change in her personality over summer.  Less negativity, less shyness and inhibition... it really gives me perspective and reminds me of how hard school can be... even in elementary school.  Anyway, as this is a happy post, here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately:























I made my own tags with some linen and a typewriter.  I love them. :)


















Fireworks watching.























Sadly, I did forget my camera, but we still haven't shot off the $20 worth of fireworks we bought, so who knows... maybe more fireworks pictures to come.























This cutie sloth is on her way to her new home. :)
























Road Trips.























Lunch dates.  :)


















Summer days and dream guitars. 























I hope your Summer is beautiful.  xoxo Katie  (P.S. Sorry about the weird spacing with the text.  I'm having a lot of problems with Blogger lately.)

  16. Another wonderful and summery post, but it does leave me with one burning question that I hope Katie or a friendly fellow comment-er can answer:

    What type of camera do you use for your photos? I've scoured older posts but can't seem to find a hint. I'm absolutely in love with the ethereal quality of your pictures!
