Cool New Client

We have a new client at DEI I'm super excited about. It's a company that makes bags and wallets from bike inner tubes, and their messenger bags are pretty rad. I'm not much of a bike rider, but I would still definitely sport one of these. If you are though, or know someone who is, I recommend checking them out. The company is Alchemy Goods, and they have their merchandise in quite a few stores around Seattle, and around the country.

I've been bitten

Alight, so I'm sort of always infected with the travel bug, but there's something about these gross overcast July days that make me want to high tail it out of here even more. For several years in a row I found myself on a sandy beach in June and July, usually returning home around this time, to gorgeous Seattle weather. This year however, I'm at a desk, and it's grey outside. Wamp wamp. Not that's I'm complaining about working, because I absolutely love my job, but once in a while my mind slips back to the 15 hour work week, reading books in the sun, planning month-long trips days and thinks, wow.

Will and I have decided to get out of here for a while next winter however, so I'm of course already finding myself hunting around for places to go and stay. I'm not, as many of you know, the plan ahead, book every night traveler, in fact I'm just the opposite. I would much rather show up in a town with nothing but a backpack and hunch than check in on my iphone. But alas, it is nice to have something somewhat arranged for the first few nights somewhere, especially if you've never been there before. If we were planning on going to Thailand, I wouldn't bother, as my poor friend Dana can attest to, when I led her around Bangkok, past prostitutes and ladyboys, at 3 in the morning.

Anyway, back to the point, I've found a website that allows you to search for places to stay, mostly apartments, but some hostels, anywhere in the world, and it's easy to accidently spend an hour on. It's called airbnb, and I highly recommend you check it out if you have any plans to travel in the near future. In the mean time, I'm going to continue mentally planning my trip, and of course, daydreaming of sand and warm weather...

Friday Harbor Weekend

Just got home from Friday Harbor, where Will and I played tourist for the weekend. Relaxing getaway getting to see family, filled with sunshine and shrimp, I couldn't be happier. We took the Victoria Clipper round trip which although is a long ride, it was a prefect day for it, and the view of the city coming in is amazing, I highly recommend it.

Pretty Things

I found this artist today and was very inspired by the mix of mediums. I love how it looks to effortless.
