Wonderful Cleveland Trip ♫

Hi there everyone, sorry for the few and far between posts! Between college apps, AP tests, finals and other craziness, I've found little time and few interesting things to share u_u One exciting topic that I managed to skip over though was my trip to Cleveland, Ohio! My dad and I went the weekend after spring break to visit the college I wanted to go to. Well the school (The Cleveland Institute of Art was wonderful and we managed so see a fair bit of the town! I don't have any photos from the school, but here are a few from around this city:

Cleveland was wonderful, I can't wait to move in August ♥

More Vacation Photos

Sorry for the vacation photo bombarding, but I got my film developed from the trip as well (plus the one day we had snow and from a theme park with my boyfriend). The film camera (a Minolta) if pretty old (from the 1970's) and I'm not very skilled with film photography, but it's fun to experiment ♪

Me and my sweetie ♥

Ponchatoula + Shopping

Hello everyone! Please forgive my absence, I was out of town the past few days in Louisiana. I was able to visit a cute little town called Ponchatoula. It means "hair that hangs" (referring to the Spanish moss) in Choctaw. The town is also famous for it's delicious strawberries! There were cute strawberries everywhere!

A cute old train

They served strawberry margaritas here

There were also several antique stores that I was excited to explore, but they turned out to be very disappointing and I left empty handed. There was acute old sewing machine with a crank handle! I wasn't sure if it would work so I didn't gamble taking it home. How cute is it though??

How cute are they?

I did pick up a cute shirt (that I may need to take in a little if it doesn't shrink in the wash) and a cute scarf! I had an eye on a scarf like this for Valentines day but it was sold out when I went to get it :( Even better, there was a sale! I got the shirt for $7.50 and the scarf for $3 what a deal! It's a light scarf but I need to wear it soon 'cause it's getting so hot.

I love the edge lace

I love mori pom-poms!

We also visited family friends with an adorable old home. There were wildflowers and clovers everywhere.

My current obsession - pansies!

We found a four-leaf clover, how lucky!

Overall it was a long, sad trip (we attended a funeral) but I was able to escape with a few pretty memories.
