my heart wanders
i was perusing some random blogs today when i came across this on pia jane bijerk’s blog, “enhance the everyday.” the project is called “my heart wanders: a collection of subtle hearts in special places.” it is a collective book project that involves people taking photos of heart shapes in random/unexpected places. it is open for anyone to enter and the images so far look beautiful…i can’t wait to see the result!

so i had the most relaxing weekend i’ve had in awhile… however, for me, it was pretty eventful and i thought i’d share.
saturday i took roxy to the bark park for the first time! while fun, i really wish that bulldog puppy would have not tried to mount my dog a million times - resulting in her being totally terrified and we left.
then i made a venture over to the dallas farmer’s market. wow, i don’t think i’ve ever witnessed anything like that! it was so much fun and i nearly bought out the place.
since i forgot my camera, i took this pic from jeffrey at IgoUgo.
here is a very small sampling of delicious findings (and my fruit stand i finally get to use since i have counter space!)
sunday i did a little shopping for my best friend’s wedding shower (yes - to bed, bath, and beyond).
i went to lula b’s antiques to find some decorative plates. with no luck i moved on to good records … where i always find something i just have to have. i took these beauties home with me:
l to r: explosions in the sky, “those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever”; david bowie “fame” single (featuring a remix with queen latifah!); sonic youth “the destroyed room - b sides and rarities”
so after that, i settled in with roxy, listened to my records, read beautiful boy (which is awesome, by the way), and thus concluded my nice weekend.
learning to love you more
so alice sent this to me this morning and i just couldn’t resist. this book, learning to love you more, by harrell fletcher and miranda july looks fun, crazy, and surprisingly heart-warming.
if you visit the website, it gives you examples of the quirky assignments from the book - from “photograph a scar and write about it”
Laurajean P’s scar from Somerville, Massachusetts
to my favorite, “recreate an object from someone’s past.”
“Tam’s first guitar” by Catherine Forrester
they’re just fun artsy projects, and some very touching ones as well, like “visit a dying person.” this is enough to inspire me to go get the book today. more to come my progress of the book.
