yup – today is in fact our halfayearsary (say that a few times fast!)

{ image/ the paper apartment }
even if i’ve never been there? it’s no secret that i love jenifer altman’s photographs of italy – remember her la dulce luce collection? if only i could crawl into each of her photos and wander the beautiful streets, basking in the warm afternoon sun and enjoying a glass of wine with a slice of cheesy delicious pizza…. le sigh.

so anyway, she has a new collection out – little italy – and it’s brimming with black and white polaroids. yes, polaroids. and yup, in black and white.
and it gets better. the above photo is actually the cover of a book she is selling and it includes some of her work from the la dulce luce collection!!
but what really took my breath away was this:

i’ve been searching awhile now for the perfect calendar to ring in 2010… and the search is over! i desparately want this beautiful little calendar adorning my desk and since she is offering a free calendar (free!) with every purchase of her book, I may just have to buy her book… although i may never get anything done again because i’ll be lost in its pages no doubt…
i’ve been really lucky in the last couple of weeks because i finally have had a chance to spend time with some friends i haven’t seen for awhile. sometimes life gets busy and days start blurring into each other, but it’s great to know that the people you care about are there for the moments you have in between all of the craziness. so here’s to friendship!
i’ve put together a series of photos that made me smile and i hope that they make you smile too!

i am quite happy about the rain. and i love irene’s work (remember these?)… so i can’t resist posting this as well….
