what.a.rockfest. {etsy finds}

Clearly, we all know I like to ... I don't want to say "toot my own horn," so I'm going to call it "celebrating."  But seriously -- tonight's sand volleyball game *was amazing*, my team was on fire!  If I could express myself in letterpress cards, they would be something like these lovely etsy finds...

I am not sporty (or coordinated, generally) by any means, but something about fantastic teamwork makes for such a rockin night.  Whooooo, Pitchers!

Window Shopping

So. Once I find something I like, I tend to become a bit obsessive (surprise). I somehow stumbled across percyhandmade -- omg, I.want.everything. But here's what tops my list!

this beautiful beaded sash

all these gorgeous fascintors...

Guess where I'm going today?

Row 1: chrysdesignsjewelry; chantaldefelice
Row 2: gigart; AnastasiaMak
Row 3: seasideinvitations; vsc83

$10 one-way airfare, what? Seriously, though, I'm flying in *just for the day* to see my friend + her adorable baby, I'm *so excited*! I know, who does this? But WHY NOT, isn't this what youth is supposed to be about, impulse and jetting off and what not?

Actually, I don't really think so, but I've never done something like this before -- I mean, a few weeks ago, I saw Jet Blue had some sort of anniversary sale with $10 one-ways, but it was so.labor.intensive to see all the destination possibilities, since they don't list them out by origin.

But THEN -- Travel Zoo sent out a reminder early yesterday morning, and I was *all over* flying to SFO, since they pointed out SFO was one of the destinations! And otherwise, a visit so wouldn't be in my budget.

If only I'd gotten on this earlier -- literally, as I was reading a text message from my friend + my hubs, trying to figure out what schedule was best (1 day vs. 2 day, times), the Tues-Wed flights DISAPPEARED! I was crushed. But figured hey, who cares that I might be spending more time in the air than on the ground if I fly in just Tuesday -- it's not like I haven't driven in for an event where the event time was shorter than the drive time! (Texas is big, what can I say.)

AND I'm not the one driving! I get to read! What a rockfest. Tartine, a little shopping, and Bebe. What a fabulous day, I'm so excited :)! All for a whopping $41.40 -- woot!

Not that we have room for another chair in our living room... or anywhere else I can think of at the moment, but that doesn't stop me from wisting after these beauties.
