Hello! Goodbye.


I have decided that I've gotten as much out of this blog that I could.  I haven't posted in forever, mostly because the way I had it set up, it became a chore.  I will miss conversing with many of you, it has been such a pleasure to get to know you!  Just a little housekeeping, I will be deleting many posts, keeping the notable ones.  If there's any you would like me to keep up, let me know.

Sincerely, Abbie Currie Lee

Weekly Etsy Finds: Ahoy, Sister! {Christmas Shopping List 2009}

My future sister-in-law, the fiance of a USNA mid, she has mastered the honorary nautical style.  I picked these whimsically nautical items as a metephore to welcome her aboard the Lee family ship!  Any sister-in-law, future sister-in-law, or brother's girlfriend gifts in need?  This theme is perfect if you don't know her style like I know Bethany's.  I think all girls have a bit of the coast in them.

Happy Weekend: Cool Breeze

Photobucket
{The right and left are from the lovely photostream of shawnisabelle on flickr.}

Laborday weekend sort of marks the official end of summer, at least for me.

And even though I want to coop up this beautiful four day weekend and work on school work and some Etsy orders, I know I should revert to my summer tendacies and get out there and DO SOMETHING.

And really, you should too.  Especially since it is a holiday weekend.

Cheers!

Explore: Shakespeare & Co.

One of my favorite places in France--no on EARTH--is Shakespeare & Co.  Not only is it a popular English bookstore in Paris, and not only did Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ezra Pound spend their days there, it is also a place where I could spend hours discovering new books and ideas.  Here are several photos of the famous Shakespeare &Company:

About Last Night: Concert in the Park

Mark that off my list of summer things to do because I went to an awesome concert in the park last night.  Evan Watson {genre=blues!} was playing along with his amazing band.  We sat on the grass, had a lunchbox of snacks and jammed out to pretty awesome music.  And I DID bring my camera!

Here are some pics I took to document the wonderful night:

Photobucket
Melinda and I were commenting on how not-bluesy Evan Watson looks.  Seriously, though, he looks like someone I went to high school with, not a blues singer.  But he is a good one, at that.


Photobucket
My brother {left} found amazing seats, right there in the action.  It was a little crammed, but much better than the spacious spot Melinda and I had found way in the back.  {Fortunatly I had thought to wear shorts underneath my skirt}.  One the right is Shana, remember he skull ring?

Photobucket
Nicky, Tracy, Melinda: three awesome babes I dare to hang out with.

Photobucket
Melinda and I.  Apparently I look like I belong on the cover of Almost Famous, according to Tracy.

Photobucket
She doesn't.  Though, I do like my reflection in there.

Photobucket
Emily's burger and fries {the fries were good, but I forgot to ask her where she got that}.

Photobucket
Lots of people just hanging out on the grass jamming to some good music.

Photobucket
Honestly, when I was told it was a concert in the park in Mt. Vernon {not the Mt. Vernon you know, its the downtown of Baltimore}, I was like "what park?"  It's pretty teeny.


I have a few shaky videos of them performing that I hope to be able to post.  One of some song I don't know {still good} and one of their version of TLC's Waterfalls.  I knew all the words.  They also did She Came in Through the Bathroom Window which I would have also recorded if I weren't so busy dancing.  Goodness, it was amazing!
