Vintage Glasses Galore!

     I have this vision of my blog being awesome and flawless and featuring all the cool things in my life and my clothes and what not, and then it doesn't happen. I want to do these things but it's difficult living in an apartment (not a cute one at that), not really having anyone to take photos of you during daylight (which in Minnesota now a days is 8am to 4pm and both my husband and I work), and being lazy contributes to the mix as well. I have a lot of cute things to show you guys but I am a perfectionist and a very picky photographer when it comes to myself.
    So today I was looking through old pictures for inspiration, and I came across some photos from last April. My great-aunt passed away over a year ago now, and last spring her kids were getting the house ready for sale and invited the family over to see if there was anything we wanted. I found a lot of vintage treasures there. One was a beautiful old mirror that I absoultely adore. I found a lot of vintage fabric and scarves. Also a dress from the 60's era that I have yet to alter for proper fitting. But what I was going to show you today were these lovely eye glasses from the 1950's/1960's era. My great-aunt had kept these since then, they had her name and phone number on them in case they got lost!

The blue background is actually the dress that I got from her:

The dress is hanging from the lovely, lovely mirror I found. I ended up painting the frame black this summer which makes it just perfect for me. It's probably one of my favorite- and most frequently used- household items. I did a blog post all about it here.

1 Year Anniversary

     Yesterday Tanner and I celebrated our 1 year of marriage. Two days before that was our "dating" anniversary. We have been together for over 7 years now. That makes me feel kind of old.. that's like almost a decade! While it seems crazy that 1 year has come and gone so quickly, it also feels like it's been forever (in a good way!). Being married to him is my favorite thing ever. I think one of my favorite parts of it is how we really are best friends. The laughter and the sarcasm and even the wrestling that occurs in our home happens often. We both make each other laugh constantly, I actually think that might be one of my favorite qualities of Tanner's.

      Our day consisted of waking up to breakfast in bed, walking to the zoo in the afternoon, filling our bellies with delicious food at Olive Garden and cuddles and movie watching together in the evening. It was yet another perfect June 30th. :)



     Now to flood your monitors with some of my favorite photos from our wedding. It was a perfect day up in Two Harbors, MN on Lake Superior. We got married by the lakeside and had the reception in the same location.

Our first look.

Both my parents walked me down the Aisle.

Rock unity with pebbles from a beach on the shore of Lake Superior.

 Our handsome wedding party.

All my sisters as my bridesmaids. 

Sassy groomsmen.

Cake!

Lots of stolen kisses.

The beautiful cake made by my aunt.

We got a little silly with our first dance. Doing the Bernie.

Back to the 50's

     I have been naughty and went on a little unintentional blogging hiatus. This last week has just been kinda crazy and busy! Also Tanner got a new computer so transferring all my stuff to his has been hectic as well. Anyways, time for some vintage cars and fashion! This last Saturday I went to the Back to the 50's car show with my parents. It's held at the state fair grounds (of MN- so HUGE) and tons of people come from all over with their old cars. My grandparents and my aunt and uncle have old cars that they bring every year. So it's fun to see a bunch of family and friends there!

Feeling more of the 1950's housewife on this day! Unfortunately it was really hot and humid and my curls did not last!

My Uncle's truck and in front is my Grandma's car.

Probably my favorite shot (above) my Aunt and Uncle's car.

My sweetie who carried my camera case and took pictures of me all day with out complaining once!

My lovely Grandma who is a hot-rod lovin' mamma! 

Being a little sassy yes

Right before this a lady actually asked me if she could take my picture! So pretty much I'm famous now.. ;)

So I hope to not be so long before my next post. I am starting my new job tomorrow which is really crazy to think about. But I definitely have some new post ideas up my sleeve so stay tuned!
