Chicago Tribune and Pink Paislee

Jul 27, 2011

I tell ya we walked all over down­town Chicago. You would think we spent days down there but nope just one com­plete after­noon. That Ronda is a fast paced walker, no south­ern strolls when she is around. I like how in this photo the Chicago Tri­bune is peek­ing out from the other build­ings. I do believe Chicago has my favorite down­town. I could spend days there. The tall build­ing on the left makes me think of Bat­man. I have no clue why as I am not a Bat­man fan. But I always think of Gotham City when I see it.

As we walked and walked and walked I had to cap­ture this photo of the Chicago Sun Times. I just love all the dif­fer­ent sized build­ings nes­tled all together.

One thing about most of the build­ings down­town is all the incred­i­ble detail. I find it so inspir­ing. Just look at all the dif­fer­ent faces, grapevines and other ornate details. So pretty.

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the “Nan­tucket” line by Pink Paislee. The col­ors are absolutely gor­geous and the wood shapes that go with it are so cute! Just look at this bicy­cle and the sea­horse behind it. I heard a lot of buzz about their “Chip­board Tiles” every­one seemed to really like these. I too think these are pretty cool.

They also released a line called “Vin­tage Vogue” look at how cute the sil­hou­ette “Chip­board Pops” of the ladies are in white, black and aqua. Love their dresses. And in the upper left top row of the above photo you can see their new “Spool But­tons”… oh be still my heart. They are adorable.

For the past few days I have been play­ing with my Cocoa Daisy August kit. The reveal is tomor­row so make sure you check out their site. Chris­tine has put together another awe­some kit.
