Friday Favorites

Well it's been a little while since we've had a random posting of things I love this week. So here it goes.

1) Pedigree's Adoption Drive: Both my boys came from shelters. I love shelter animals. Somehow, I think they're more loyal, loving and happy companions than other animals. Pedigree started something really cool- Click "Like" on their Pedigree Adoption Drive page on Facebook and they'll donate a bowl of food to an animal in a shelter. Find out more here. You can also donate to shelters and find out ways to adopt or volunteer at animal shelters across the country. Also, this commercial makes me cry. And I never cry at commercials.



2) Summer mountain weddings: Almost three weeks ago, I second shot with Kristi Crosson in Vail. Last weekend, I third camera'd for Marilee Langner Sturgis in Beaver Creek. What do these two weddings have in common? Amazing, stunning mountain locations. The mountains are the reason I love Colorado. Not so much for activities that happen in them, like hiking, skiing (I've never even been!) or mountain biking but mostly because of their views. Even better when people get married up there! And I get to photograph it!

3)Weird small world stories: Isn't it weird when you find out that so-and-so knows so-and-so? One of my close friends from high school is on a study abroad trip to Mexico this summer with my best friend's brother. SO random. But very very cool!

4) Yankee Candle's Lemon Lavender candle: This candle smells divine. I want to eat it. It also gives me the strong desire to bake a lemon lavender cake.

5)Etsy shopping: Etsy is a dangerous place for me. Everything is so cute. And handmade. And run by small business people. I love it all. Like this gray bag I bought myself. Or this adorable jersey top with delicate flowers. Or this dress. Or this convertible wrap dress. I mean, really. The shopping could go on all.day.long. And that would be really, really, really dangerous.

6) Summer dinners: Summer meals are so easy and so fresh. Lettuce from the garden drizzled in oil and vinegar, meat cooked on the grill and thick, crusty bread. Yum yum yum!
