Girl after my own heart

June 27th, 2009

So much to feel.

Today I met and clicked with a lady named Jann, a lover of classy, vintage collectibles, apparel, and nicknacks.  She lives to collect others people’s old stuff, bring history to life, and creates useful decorations, like wall clocks from vintage plates and decoupaged 1920’s style mirrors.  Her  slogan is “a flea market at your fingertips…nothing you need, everything you want” which concisely describes her little shop, June and Ruby’s at 209 Second Street, SW Charlottesville.  We bonded as mutual lovers of all things Alphonse Mucha and now, wearers of the Grow Your Own Roots Charlottesville t-shirt.  She’s carrying them in her store, so 3 cheers for Jann!  You should definitely check out her cutie website at www.juneandruby.com and welcome her to the club!  Yay!

A beautiful day

June 24th, 2009

coffee. anticipation. clear blue skies. top down. windy, country roads. beautiful homes. grassy fields. tall corn stalks. turn around. run down, ivy covered barns. bubbling fountain. cool breeze. tomatoes. dill. hosta. squash. lilies. cinnamon. fern. wrought iron slithering snake. garden isle. cross legged. scrunched up pants. sunny highlights. barefoot. shiny cherries. and some painting supplies….that is a plein air session at Jeanine’s.
