The Peach Tree

A Glimpse of Relaxation

2012-04-06T14:13:00.000-04:00

Hi Peaches!

We went on an all too quick but wonderfully relaxing trip down to the gulf coast last week. Sun, surf and long bike rides really do wonders for the soul!

Here are a few of my favorite shots :)

Hope you're all having a wonderful spring!

I'm really not sure what to say....

2012-02-10T09:49:00.000-05:00

But, yeah... really.

My mom was right!

2012-02-08T09:47:00.001-05:00

I am a winner :) It only took me 2 years and the continued drive to be eco friendly!

The "run dog" sticker is my favorite.

Wonderfully executed and creative idea to give depth to a small space.

Crumbs + Laundry = Worth it.

It's such an easy thing to overlook sometimes :)

They say no man is an island

2011-10-11T09:52:00.001-04:00

This is Robins Island. Though no man may BE an island, one man OWNS this island.

Though it looks as though the current owner has done right by preserving its natural beauty and well-being, it still just doesn't seem right.

I've seen a lot of bikes in my travels...

2011-10-07T09:21:00.001-04:00

But this one is pretty out of this world!

One of the things I miss about having my nieces in town?

Bringing toys out to dinner :)

I wanted a purple one. Darn not carrying cash on me!

I very much wanted to take a piece from one half to see if it would make me bigger and then the other half to see if it would make me smaller :)

This bunny is driving me wild. And he wears an A. I believe it to be fate :) Come to me little bunny!!

Apparently I'm a sucker for animals this week :) But he DOES look like he loves those mittens!!

Do you think I'm pretty?

This cracks me up 10 fold. Animals as humans never gets old!

I did grow up in Wisconsin.

You do not have to tell me twice.

As cute as this...

I had a pet mouse growing up. His name was Romeo and he was as cute as this little guy.

Fancy Rat Pin from caitlynharris

I built him long, intricate mazes by propping books against each other and leaving a treat at the finish. He almost never cheated by sticking his paws on top and looking for the end.

Fall Color Report

2011-09-12T07:52:00.000-04:00

I must admit, the tomboy inside me is still a bit in denial over being a part of the fashion industry. I'm learning to embrace it any chance I can get though :) One thing I'm sure to check out each season is Pantone's color trends. Here's their lineup this fall (I've paired my pieces w/each to give a tangible idea of shade) and I'm extremely excited about all of them!

I'm having an Autumn sale this week to celebrate the start of the season as well! Use code SEPTEMBER for 20% OFF your total purchase :)

Here's to crunching leaves and sipping tea!

Alive and Well

2011-08-31T11:01:00.000-04:00

Hi Guys!

I wanted to leave a quick note to let you know we weathered the storm. The only tragedy near us was the toppling of a gorgeous 80yr old tree. It's been devastating watching the towns up and down the coast salvage and recover since Irene's passing.

My head has been a bit in the clouds which could be why my latest color obsession is the Marshmallow shade by Essie. There's something soothing in its starkness :)

Well wishes to you all and have a wonderful end to your summer!
Amy

Summer allergies are the pits!

2011-08-29T09:30:00.000-04:00

This tree has been kicking my butt lately. It's pretty, don't get me wrong :) But those little white flower puffs keep getting bigger and bigger!

ha-chooo!

Moving on up!

2011-08-26T09:19:00.004-04:00

We're headed to the Highline park today! It took us a few years to finally get up there but it's fastly becoming my favorite relaxation destination.

We plan to explain some of the tall buildings to our nieces, eat locally made popsicles and splash around in the floor fountain :)

Have a great day!

2011-08-25T09:15:00.001-04:00

I came across the most beautiful little carriage house this morning! I imagine a little horse and buggy parked out back :)

Take a walk on the wild side

2011-08-24T09:13:00.001-04:00

I'll gladly walk a few blocks out of the way to pass by my favorite patch of flowers :) These black-eyed susans always look so darn happy!

Oh yes they did

2011-08-23T09:11:00.000-04:00

It's not just that they taped a mirror to their car. It's not just that they used hot pink tape. It's that they didn't break the handle off of the mirror that they taped to their car with hot pink tape.

Yeah, I think that's what it is :)

Peach Picks: End of Summer

2011-08-18T09:16:00.001-04:00

This year is going super fast. Though I believe we all must say that every year :) I always feel the end of summer coming when my brother and his family visit. It's our last big hurrah with the city, matching around gaping at buildings like silly tourists. After living here for 10 years, it's a refreshing change from the rush rush rush, gotta get there attitude!

It's been a long time since I've done a Peach Picks and I LOVED putting this one together! I'm going to do my best to change things up a little bit more. My insights on city life photos a fun for me though!

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer :)
