Lovely Lydia Has Moved Sites

To all my beloved family and friends. Thanks so much for stopping by but please notice I've switched sites due to blogspot's lack of images space and design restrictions. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience but come pay me a visit at http://www.lovelylydiadesign.com/blog/ Lots of love, Kristen

Test Drive

Plan for the weekend. Test drive the new Ford Edge. It's a divided feeling of excitement (because I've never had the opportunity to test drive a vehicle) and anxiety because the people that work at dealerships are...scary to say the least. Well, I hope you all have a great weekend. VROOM-VROOM!

I Heart... Off Cut Studio

Sleek and sexy. I love this modern clock by Off Cut Studio.

Craft and Create - Moonstones

I bet when you read the title of this post your mind was imagining something a wee bit more...well...peace, love, and granola. Well, I'm still in the gem kinda-mood, so I created this necklace using gorgeous moonstones, faceted yellow citrine, and raw transparent quartz. I needed something more wispy and light with the oncoming transition to spring and I'm really excited with how it came together.

On the Road... Again

I'm on the road again and this time I'm hitting up Dallas, Texas. To be honest, I won't have much "touristy" time, so I packed my bags in preparation for some serious reading. With my bag bulging at the seams from the weight of my books (I couldn't decide on just one) and my laptop, I experienced my first time hankering for some form of media like the iPad. Thinking...still thinking about it. I'm a bit nostalgic when it comes to reading. I love the ritual of going to Portland's Powell books and seeking out my new read. I love the christening crease made with the first page turn. I love putting my book down for the evening and taking a peek at my bookmark location/page progress. No matter what people say, I know I will miss that. However, I will not miss lugging around hefty novels. What are your thoughts on the new forms of reading media?
