Summer camp

19 July 2010

Did any of you go to summer camp? I went twice, and it was awesome (once I got over the whole homesickness thing). All of my memories came whooshing back when I saw these stunning images from Tracy Turpen, taken at Keystone Camp in Brevard. Aren’t they gorgeous? Her saturated colors and close cropping capture the intimacy and vibrancy of camp life so well. I can’t stop looking at them!

You can see a few more images on Tracy’s blog.

Weekend Project: Handmade Wedding Signs

13 July 2010

Thank you for your patience as I gather my bearings after a week away! In the meantime, I thought I’d share a peek at one of the projects my Dad and I tackled for Kate’s wedding while I was home. We purchased 1 x 5″ x 10′ boards from Home Depot, he cut them into sections, and I hand painted the letters. Between needing to direct guests to the island, and then to the ceremony and reception sites once they’re there, we ended up with more than 25 signs!

My favorite?

Easy. Because, you know, love… actually is… all around.
