Air Mail and No Pizza

I've been pretty busy lately making preparations to open my new etsy shop and start selling at the Wednesday farmers market here in Ann Arbor. This means doing a lot of boring stuff like market research, applying for a sales tax license, and applying to be a vender, but it also means a lot of fun stuff like making new products, creating graphics, and taking cool pictures. I recently felt inspired on one of the sunny days last week to do a little photo shoot with some new jewelry I've been working on.

Last week I got the cutest package in the mail. It was some brass feather charms that I ordered off Etsy. They arrived by air mail from Hong Kong with beautiful bird stamps and string tied around it. It was so tactile and beautiful that I had to snap some pics before I opened it. That charms were amazing as well and I can't wait to use them.

This week has been pretty boring food wise. The only exciting thing this week was a steak that I pulled out of the freezer and marinated in balsamic vinager. It lasted me the whole week mixed in with kale and chard salads for breakfast and on top of sweet potato hash for dinner. Steak is awesome but I'm ready for some other kinds of meat.

I've also been eating a lot of crap food this week, due to the fact that it is almost the end of the semester and all my freshman friends have tons of meals left on their meal plans. It isn't the best but who can say no to free food? We even drove all the way to north campus to get some famous blue apple pizza, only to find that their cooler is broken so they can't make pizza. Rachel was pretty unfazed by this, but I was thoroughly disappointed.
