Teeny Tiny Houses

I've become absolutely and thoroughly obsessed with tiny houses. I've been interested in alternative building and odd houses since I was a kid. I think as soon as I turned 12 I wanted to move out and build my own house. In fact, the plan at 12 was to turn 18 as quickly as possible, build an enormous tree house, something similar to Swiss Family Robinson, and live there til I died. Not much has changed. I went though a houseboat phase and camper phase. And I've always liked the idea of a yurt.
But a teeny house seems to be the most perfect thing ever (at least until I've built an earthbag house and a summer treehouse :). Particularly using solar energy and mainly recycled materials. Absolutely blissful!

I've also fallen in love with tiny house everything else... (click the photos for the links!)

How I Wish I Was Camping...

Truche

I'm not usually one for campers, buuuuuut.... this rules.

Blacksmith Creations

Keep Calm Store

Most of this week's evenings were spent drooling all over my keyboard (maybe not as gross as that sounds...) and making plans to camp. And as I was planning my little weekend trip to Myles Standish State Park, I started to wander all over the ReserveAmerica website and found all sorts of magical and wonderous places I'd like to visit this year. My wanderings (on the internet) then led me to things I'd NEED for camping (Basically, when I research anything at all it becomes an "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie" situation.).
I realize I need none of this for camping. And I can be quite happy with bare-bones camping. BUT.... if I had a million dollars I would most certainly blow it all on over-the-top camping gear.

Music Tuesday

My mind has been officially blown. My good friend, Russell sent me this link: CLICK ME!
And it took me a few minutes to realize this incredible musician is none other than my musical genius crush, Josh Tillman (also drummer of Fleet Foxes). Only, a clean shaven, dancing, jazz hands version.
Russell and I sort of stalked Josh last year when he came to the East Coast. And it didn't take me long to buy up some tickets for his show in Boston next week and begin planning this year's round of stalking (Our brand of stalking is not the creepy sort. I don't think. Don't worry...) Hooray!

I absolutely adore his older stuff.

James Blues

Earthly Bodies

Crosswinds

And his Father John Misty album.

Fear Fun Album

So good! Seriously can't wait to see him again.
