Lazy Saturday playing with presents.

Welcome back to the interwebs, Austinites! And everyone! Did you have a good holiday?

R. and I were in the Dallas/Fort Worth-ish area on Christmas Eve, where it...snowed. This was very different snow from the light (imagined?) sprinkling we experienced here in Austin three weeks ago. This was a REAL LIVE ALL-DAY LONG snow, i.e., my very first White Christmas ever. Were any of you displaced Austinites out there witnessing it?

For Christmas, R. gave me a Holga camera!!

I am going to Precision Camera & Video today after I finish this blog post to buy film for it.

Also, my adorable just-returned-from-Costa-Rica-on-a-language-immersion-program Daddy brought me back a little pouch purse that's the exact right size for my new Holga baby:

And my mom, from whom I directly inherited my obsession with thrift stores, gave me these awesome vintage earrings:

Speaking of vintage! I gave myself a Merry Christmas at Buffalo Exchange last week with these faded black jeans with zippers at the ankle.

And...to top off this downright vintage-y circus, Gary sent me this video yesterday, "Une Very Stylish Fille." Do you love?



Finally. On Christmas Eve, my wonderful mother-in-law gave R. and I this rad indoor, hydroponic HERB GARDEN!
We have been wanting to be more garden-enjoying people but have yet to set up a garden at home, so this is a perfect solution. Our kit also came with a flashy cookbook that tells us how to make things out of our fresh herbs! Now Reader, I am not a gifted cook, but what would you be more likely to come over and eat if I made it for you: Creamy Zucchini and Basil Soup or Roasted Garlic Thyme Soup?

Off to go purchase film for the new Holga baby!

I'm in Dallas now and there's STILL snow on the ground in the shady parts
