Pure Magic

This made an otherwise bummer night quite amazing....two of my favorite bands right now, with the one and only Bob Dylan...unbelievable! I wish I could've been there.

Too bad, so sad :(

I'm going through some difficult stuff right now,

and as a result of my recent breakup,

I will not be able to stay in my pretty apartment anymore :(

I wish I could, I spent so much time and care on putting everything together

and making it feel like home. Now I can hardly be there, let alone afford it by myself.

So, R.I.P my first pretty little perfect apartment...

I have a good time these past two (yes, only 2) months I lived in you.

My very own kitchen to cook up all my meals and baked goods! Loved it!

Comfy bedroom

Craft Corner!

Pretty walk-in closet! Gahddd, I'm going to miss this part DEARLY.

Living room, in my favorite shades of green and all retro furniture.

Favorite chair.

soooo sad. ugh!

Never posted, but should've...

We had these taken for gifts for our family for the holidays , I loved how they turned out.

Our friend Amanda Flinn-Simmons took them...she's a talented lady. Check her out on Flickr !

The biggest of which has been...

Its a work in progress, but its definitely feeling like home <3
