I'm back!

Keep your eye on this space - LOTS has changed and I'm looking forward to writing on Margo & Betty again! :)

snow music

Here's a little playlist of the music I've been listening to while there's snow on the ground. Be prepared to make yourself some hot chocolate and curl up with a warm blanket. What are your favorite snow day songs?

so important - DO IT.

Don't know what this is about? You need to know. It gives huge evil corporations the power to censor the internet, in turn takes away our freedom. Get informed. Do something about this, what we do matters. Make your voice count. Take a few minutes out of your day and write to your local government officials and tell them that we will not be controlled by big business. Feel free to post this on your own blog using the following:

Update: Here is a great video that I saw over on Moorea's blog.

documerica

Lately I've been having the best time browsing through the U.S. National Archives pictures on Flickr. In the 70's, the EPA asked freelance photographers to document daily living in America and how environmental issues affect people's livelihood, calling the project Documerica. I have always believed that I was born in the wrong era, and these pictures absolutely back up that. I love the ethereal feel, and honesty that are in these pictures. Here are a few of my favorites, however I urge you to take a look at the program, as there are some powerful pictures that I think can resonate with everybody.

1. A comparison between photos taken from Film, a DSLR and the iPhone from Allison Lehman. I love all the film shots, but I was surprised how well the iPhone held it's own. Very cool.

2. I love Elizabeth's blog, and she wrote a GREAT post about dressing up and sense of self. Reading this made me go change what I was wearing for the day.

3. THIS amazing dining room table DIY from Veronika at Tick Tock Vintage. I am insanely jealous, the table is beautiful!

In love with Roots and Feathers.
