I become restless far too easily these cold days.
Being cooped up doesn't always suit me.
Especially on holidays.
Not that there's anything wrong with holidays, I just need to feel productive.
We went exploring a bit.
James and I found a train to headed to Lookout Mountain today.
Some time I'd actually like to take the train instead of sneaking up inside it to take pictures.
I imagine train travel in the Old West must have really been something.
I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving.

Today should be a holiday, don't you think?
National Get Ready for Thanksgiving and then Christmas Day.
It works.
I really, really wish I could go to this sale but I think I cannot get out of working that day.
But you, if you live here, you should go. It will be great.
This is beautiful, and this and this.

Tomorrow, the thankful post...
Thanksgiving will be great, I've got so much to be thankful for. And for some very happy news:
My brother and sister in law just found out they are expecting a baby girl! Congrats!!

This new shop is pretty beautiful. I really like #9.
I've got a bunch of mini-loaves of this bread in the oven. Thank you, Jen, for the recommendation. I hope they will make special little gift tomorrow.
I really like this basket. I'm a sucker for anything Shaker.
I made a little christmas mobile and I'd love to share but must wait for film to be developed...
I'm loving this page for style inspiration.
Hope your day is filled with nice things.
Here are some more images from Pittock Mansion.
Today I am packaging orders from my shop.
Daydreaming of having lunch here.
Listening to this band (esp. the song called "two step").
Going to hang out with a dear friend.
Watching some Eames films, this one on repeat.
Taking photos of Christmas-y things.
Wanting to buy this print.
I'm still not regularly answering emails or comments or commenting to you all. I'll be back soon.
Hope you are enjoying your day.

Hello.
I'm going to be away from my computer for the most part these next couple of days.
I'll be checking shop emails, but that's it.
I'm looking forward to
-finishing all of the letters I've been meaning to write
-seeing a movie with James
-getting ready for Thanksgiving
-finally finishing organizing my negatives
-eating good food
-reading mysteries
What are you looking forward to?

Happy weekend to you!
S t i l l is a flickr group where people post shots of still lifes. This week is body week, a still life that contains a body part, but is no portrait. These are my entries this week. Come play along...
Now I have to stop being still and get my booty out the door-have a good morning!
(p.s. these are all shots from my shoot for Tumbleweed Boutique. December 5 I will be hanging photos in the store and they'll be open late-you should stop by!)
I tell you what, there are few things I enjoy more than a good breakfast sandwich.
I guess when it's accompanied by a warm beverage and a brisk walk there is almost nothing better.
What do you like to do in the morning?
Thanks for all the biscuits recipes, you must be able to tell I've got breakfast on the mind!

I am loving this blog lately.
And isn't this a genius way to display light?
And I'm pretty sure this is the prettiest photo I've seen in some time.
Even though this isn't the best photo of it, I am really missing comfort food from Colima, like this.
Also, check out this lovely shop. I really love this.
Have a good night...
Our little holiday sale was so fun!
The best parts were meeting all of you and all of the fun goodies I got to take home.
My one regret is that I forgot to buy a pouch from Kris of fern&jane , but hopefully I can get one from her online shop.
If you are wondering, yes-that's one of Cori's ferrets and yes, they are that cute in real life.
If you'd like to see more photos from the day, I have some here. Jenny and Nicolle have some, too.

Thank you for all of the recent orders at my online shop.
There are so many other great online shops updating this week...
I know that economically speaking, times are tough right now. That's why I'm trying really hard to get gifts and things I need from these women who work very hard to create beautiful things. I know it is impossible to shop completely from local or hand made sources, but we can all try, right?
I hope you are all having a good Monday evening...
P.S. anyone have a great biscuit recipe?
Thank you to all of you who showed up at the little winter sale yesterday!
It was so good to meet you and chat-thanks!
A huge thank you to all of the wonderful women (and men) who participated and helped with the event.
And a gigantic thank you to Cori, who played hostess and organizer and who made everything so beautiful and awesome. Another thank you to her husband, who ran the register for us so we could all relax! It was perfect, you two-seriously the best craft sale I've seen. Thank you!
Once I get my film back, I'll be posting a bit more about the sale, but for now-an online shop update!
I've added a few more prints to the shop, including a smaller holiday print. All of my prints come wrapped in vellum and secured with a beautiful sticker. If you'd like to send a print as a gift, I'll wrap it up special and include a message for you-just let me know in the "message to the seller" when you checkout or email me at abbytrysagain@yahoo.com. If you are buying two or more prints, type in "holiday" at checkout to get 10% off you order. Shop my online shop by clicking here.
Also, I've been asked about printing larger prints. Any print in my shop can be printed at 8x10 or 8x12-just ask and I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks!
