This weekend, Luke & I will have some of our photo prints & my jewelry at the local community garden in spirit of the Earth Day festival. I’m really excited, but I’m also all-kinds-of nervous to see how others respond to my makings. They will be giving tours of the beautiful garden & local artists will be there, too. It should be a wonderful time. I’m really looking forward to seeing so many people on their bikes & enjoying this beautiful world.

Also, just to let you know… tomorrow I will be writing about & giving you a sneak peek of the beautiful fair trade shop {Mustard Seed}- planted in the heart of downtown Columbia, Missouri. I will explain what fair trade is & how you can get involved to not only support your local community but the global community as well!
have a lovely weekend!
love,
Natalie

YES! you updated! everything on -taste- has my mouth watering.
I love how creative and detail-oriented you are with five senses friday.

ahhh! i really really hope that we have the same shower curtain. and at the same time, then what? i mean, what does this all mean? it doesn’t mean that you’re a stalker.. more like what am i talking about my shower curtain for anyway?
and with the poor baby herbs, i did poke holes in the bottoms.. but maybe not enough of them? it may also have something to do with the lack of sunlight where i’ve placed them. i just really want windowsill herbs but i don’t think our windowsill gets any sun!
i love five senses friday!
and ms tomorrow? speaking of, i may or may not have some more damaged goods you can take home..

I think this is my favorite Five Senses Friday yet. I can still feel the warmth from the sun on that sunny afternoon in Peace Park lounging on your picnic blanket.
I love you.
