BEST PART OF THE WEEKEND!!!

Best part of the weekend: Downton Abbey, whoooody whoooo!

Sneaky sneaky (if you didn't see the episode tonight here's a teaser)

FADING FAST

Mazzy Star- "Fade Into You"

"I look to you to see the truth"

D.I.Y. (JUST MEET ME UP IN PARADISE)

Glue gun and scissors, your my best friend.  Snagged this shirt from a thrift shop for $1.  Cut and glued it in a hot second, I don't know how to sew (contrary to popular belief). I'm a textile designer, not a fashion designer. I make fabric not garments.

The Noisettes- "Don't Upset the Rhythm"

"The magic is unstoppable 

Fall on the floor

It's the rhythm you've been waiting for"

HEALING

Buena Vista Social Club- "Chan Chan"

Buena Vista Social Club- "El Cuarto de Tula"

Ay mamà! Que pasò?

 (Excerpt from Shaw Shank Redemption):

Andy Dufresne: That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you... Haven't you ever felt that way about music?
Red: I played a mean harmonica as a younger man. Lost interest in it though. Didn't make much sense in here.
Andy Dufresne: Here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget.
Red: Forget?
Andy Dufresne: Forget that... there are places in this world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside... that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours.
Red: What're you talking about?
Andy Dufresne: Hope. 

I heart Shaw Shank Redemption, and Buena Vista Social Club you ease my pain.
Music is for life.

OH GIRL

FAVORITES

Wanted to share some of my favorite verses from the book of 1 Corinthians. So beautiful.

"² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,but do not have love, I gain nothing. 

 ⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

 ⁸ Love never fails. 

But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. ¹² For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 

 ¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

-1 Corinthians 13:2-13
