365: Day 232

I love my little apartment, but my biggest pet peeve is that there isn't much natural light. I know that adding mirrors near windows can help reflect the light and make a room brighter. So, I purchased cheap door mirrors (for about $7 a piece) and stenciled this pretty pattern on them to add a little pizazz. I am pretty happy with how they turned out!

My friend Stephanie's family was visiting from Wisconsin. They rented a house on the beach for the week and invited a bunch of us over for a lobsterfest. Their dog, Desi, wasn't quite as excited about the lobster as we were.

I re-organized my tiny apartment and finally created a little office space.

 

365: Day 222

Spent the weekend in Marion, MA to volunteer for the VFW Clam Bake Fundraiser for the 2nd year in a row. It's always so fun to watch them get the fire going and then cook all the food. I love watching the whole process. We always have a good time at the clam bake.

 

365: Day 221

It was about 11:00 p.m. and I was staying in Marion, MA with a friend's family, when I realized I had not yet taken a photo that day. This is a picture, taken through the bathroom window, of a tree lit up by a light in the backyard.

Rainy day

 

365: Day 219

 As I had been re-organizing my apartment, I wanted to come up with a better way to organize my jewelry. I bought a cheap bulletin board, stapled cheap fabric to it, and pinned up my necklaces. Voila!

 

365: Day 218

The MUB (Memorial Union Building)

 

365: Day 217

A couple years ago I was at a college fair, and a student came up to my table to fill out an inquiry card. As she wrote her information down, I noticed this really cool double bird ring she had on and I asked her where she got it from. I went out after the fair and bought one for myself. A few years later, it's still one of my favorite funky rings.
