my picture wall in the bedroom, i just couldnt wait anymore. our room is in desperate need of new paint... but thats not happening anytime soon. i wanted to look at my painting i did during that horrendous week of the slide fire and some etsy art i have collected. another painting was made by a young girl who was selling her art with her brother at a flea market in paris, chris and i stumbled on their booth while on our first trip to europe together (the parents were selling antiques and the kids had a small corner to themselves, almost like your classic lemonade stand, but much cooler). the young girl artist was "emilie" and we vowed that if we ever had a girl, that would be her name. ahhh how sweet (i also stayed on "rue amilie" with my mom my first trip to paris so that was also a favorite version of emily) i bought a painting from emilie and one from her brother yvan (need to dig that one out of the garage). they are amazing paintings along with the amazing (romantic) story. i have said before, i wish i had bought everything they had to sell, they were that good. and cheap!

it is hotter than heck here right now, we went down to the beach for some kite flying and of course i forgot my camera... here is chris' photos from his phone:
