What's In My Purse part 1 - Exie's Purse

What's In My Purse is a five part series that will list the articles in five girls purses. It's an interesting way to learn something new about a person just by the things they carry in their purse. 
The contents of Exie's purse:

• Coin purse
• Sermon notes
• Aloe vera
• Chapstick
• Notepad
• Hair bows
• Lip gloss
• Hair ties
• Library card

I've had a fascination with wedding dresses lately, and what a pretty one I found on Pinterest!

A little tidbit . . .

It's time for me to get back into the swing of things! School starts next week and a bunch of other things will pick up after that (read: music lessons). To quickly recap my summer (I didn't do much, it was a lazy summer): I went to a friend's sunrise wedding (at 6 in the morning, so neat!), spent a week with my Unni doing awesome things like making embarrassing videos of ourselves, picnicking, and going to the humongous Marian County Library and in general, just did whatever it crossed my mind to do (bike rides, especially late night ones, were super fun and never coupled with any remorse or regretful thinking because I didn't have to get up early in the morning the next day!). Here's to enjoying the rest of summer and looking forward to the beginning of fall!

Electric Violin and Beatbox: The Devil Canon

I found this version of Canon In D to be quite fascinating. Beat boxing amazes me, and paired with an amazing electric violinist, the result is impressive. :) I hope you enjoy this!

Moon River

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

Moon River has become one of my favorite songs. Audrey Hepburn sings it in the movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's", and although her voice is incredibly soft, it just enhances the lullaby feel of the song.

Just Because

Because I love giraffes, I had to share this with you. ;) This is Stanley the Giraffe. Isn't he a darling?
