happy Friday, friends! i wanted to start off this beautiful friday with a beautiful photo by jamie. gorgeous, no? we're planning on ditching work a little early (shhhh), skipping home, checking out a local furniture sale/giveaway, and going to a modern ballet performance up in dupont - all before my parents and yankee get here. visitors for the weekend! hurrah!
