Charmingly Haunted



Jordan Tiberio's photography work is absolutely stunning. It has a certain haunted feel to it, making you feel awe struck and almost itchy at the same time.







And my favorite...



The tones in his images are amazing. Are you as inspired by his work as I am?

Feeling the Sun

I suppose it's suitable...that I took over a hundred pictures of eggs today. What not with all of the posts on Chicken coops I've been doing these past two days. What? I'm obsessed.

This time though, it's not quite about chicken housing - rather the egg itself.

The weather is finally beginning to feel like Spring. The sun is out and it's actually warm! Plus, the snow is melting. I took the chance to go outside and take pictures of a project that my wonderful Mom and I did together the other day.

She taught a class at our 4H's Project Workshop days recently, and they used this technique on glass vases. They turned out beautiful!

When we got home, we decided to try it out on eggs. I love the affect, so much more bright and fun that store bought dyes! Plus, it's hands on.

Mentioning hands.....ours were ridiculously dyed afterward and that paint is killer to get off.

I may or may not have ended up with a streak of green in my hair, that we had to get out with nail polish remover.

Huh. Maybe I should have kept it like that.

I mean, didn't you here that green streaks are all the rage?

Be sure to take a peak at the great tutorial for these over on my Moms blog!

Inspired Chickens Part 2

Sbcoop1

Something about the Spring air and the snow melting is making me think chickens! Chickens this chickens that, my mind is flooding with chicken plans.

Remember my post yesterday on the frenchy chicken coop that I loved?

Well, as I was reading more of Heather Bullards wonderful blog, I came across this also darling coop.

Are you thinking chickens about chickens as much as I am?

I also adore the styling. It really highlights their soft colors and lacy features. Beautiful indeed!

On another note, I've been working on the website for FACSY and am wanting to put a slideshow in for the gallery. However, that's working with JavaScript. A whole new dimension from what I'm used to with HTML and CSS. Truthfully? It's making no sense at all to me!

French Coop

Coop16

I've been thinking about making a home for a few chickens to live out by our garden and horses. They are great to keep flies and ticks away, which abound in our land that's full of trees and right across the road from the lake.

Everything about this sweet chicken hut that was made by Heather Bullard is perfect. What lucky chickens! I love the Frenchy feel to it, and the great features that make it easier to collect eggs and for storage.

All of the little features to this Chicken house, show all of the thought and time put into the design of this chicken coop!

Over on Heather Bullards blog, she has directions as well as more pictures!

I think it's great that so many people have started to raise their own chickens, whether in rural areas or closer to the city's. Such a great way to bring more "natural" into your kitchen as well as getting out to enjoy nature.

Now, we can't forget the chickens...

I think the White Silkie Bantams are the cutest!

Do you have chickens?

Mixing Science and a Farm with Love



A year ago I posted a post on a gorgeous photoshoot that was styled as a chemistry type wedding. It was amazing and surprisingly enough, received a lot of hits. When I came across this real wedding I knew I had to share!






Actually, it's kind of funny because just the other day on a cleaning spree, I was going through a bunch of old home schooling stuff. We went through K12 which is an online school and they sent us all of the supplies we ever needed.

Well, every year that we went through K12 we got doubles of a lot of things - for example - beakers. I looked at the glass beakers and thought how cute they would be with flowers in them! Now there is a glass beaker sitting in my window with pretty pink flowers!



Be sure to click over and take a look at the rest of the amazing wedding!
