Upstate Fancy
Celebrating our first anniversary!
Sunday, Matt and I celebrated our One Year Wedding Anniversary. We didn’t do anything fancy, or buy each other lavish gifts. Instead we sat and watched a slide show of our amazing wedding photos by the wonderful Alexandra Roberts while listening to an album by the band (the Cosmic Zombies) who played our wedding. We [...]
Visiting the Pacific Northwest – Astoria, Oregon
Matt and I decided to drop the dog off at his parents and head west for a 10 day vacation to the Pacific Northwest. It wasn’t exactly an anniversary trip, but it was close enough for us to pretend it was. We flew into Seattle, picked up our rental car (the first rental car of [...]
A new look for Upstate Fancy
You may notice a new look to the blog. I have decided to move to a wider format to be able to share larger photos and projects as well as change format just a bit. Of course I will still be sharing amazing finds from fellow independent artists and designers, but I also hope to [...]
say cheese!
I’ve been taking a photograph class online, with Bella Pop. I’ve always been really interested in photography, but know that there is so much more to learn so I thought it would be fun to take a class and learn something new. So far these are my favorite photos from the ongoing class!
Underrated Book: Griffin & Sabine
Back in High school I had a weekend job and a small antique shop/book store. It was a very quite position, I worked the shop alone and there were few customers, so I spent most of my time dusting, stocking and pricing items and of course browsing (and reading) the selection of books on the [...]
A look back at 2012
2012 has been one heck of a year for me. I had a few health scares. The company where I worked as the catalog designer was sold. I got married. I began working for myself. I decided to look back through my instragram feed and pick out two photos from each month to create a [...]
Happy Halloween!
A few days ago we had some fog roll in along with a few crafty spiders. I snapped a few photos while Matt and I were out walking the dog. I though this would be an apt way to end October. You can click on each photo to see them a bit bigger. Happy Halloween!
A woodland treasure hunt
Matt’s parents turned us on to letterboxing a few summers ago, so when they came up for a visit this past weekend we decided to head out on an adventure to find a new box. If you aren’t familiar with letterboxing (we weren’t until they told us about it) it’s a cross between a treasure [...]
Goodbye summer
While Summer is not quite officially over, it sure does feel that way here in Maine. The traffic has stopped, the leaves are starting to turn and the beach is almost deserted. While autumn is my favorite season, there is something melancholy about the end of summer. While walking on an almost empty beach yesterday, [...]
Matt and I are married!
Our officiant, the wonderful Maria Northcott snapped this photo of us while we sailed around Casco Bay. I can’t wait to share all the details with you that were documented by the very talented Alexandra Roberts. I am so happy to be married to the wonderful and very dapper Matt Jones.
