missing you

this postcard wall is pure brilliance:

(via from the right bank)

New life goal: travel enough to collect enough postcards to create a wall like this in future home.
Second best: collect postcards from friends who travel (though this one isn't nearly as fun)

old school

Aren't these travel posters gorgeous?!
I kind of want all of them.

They're by The Heads of State. It sounds like they will be expanding the store, but for now they feature: Chicago, Phoenix, Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York City, Washington D.C. and Miami. It kind of makes me sad that out of all those great cities I've only spent a significant amount of time in one (SF), drove through another (Seattle) and had a couple layovers in a third (Phoenix).

it's hard to be a saint in the city

Now that I'm a bit more settled in, I'm ready to begin travel-dreaming again.

So often I see New York portrayed as a fast-paced, 24/7 busy, exciting, crowded, big city. These photos taken by the lovely lady at {this is glamorous} show a quieter side of the city. More pensive, absorptive and calm. Someday when I make it to the other coast, I hope I'll get a glimpse of this.
