A playlist for driving in Alaska

Posted in Music, Travel, tagged , , , , , , , on May 16, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

My friend Erin went to Alaska last week,

and before she left she asked me to pull together a playlist that she + her boyfriend could listen to while they drove through the State. I was immediately happy to accept the challenge since I love making themed playlists! Here’s what I came up with after a lot of dreaming of what it would feel like to drive through those gorgeous mountains and clouds and past that clean + clear water. I was definitely channeling a bit of Dick Proenneke, trying to feel what he must have felt every day – the power and the beauty of the Earth.

Safe travels!

Mix CD Party | Things I Love

Posted in Music, Things I Love, tagged , , , , , , , on March 12, 2012 | 4 Comments »

♥

Ryan + I attended a mix cd party last night!

Each person brought a mix that they made and plopped it down with the rest on the coffee table in the center of the party. Throughout the night the cds were played and when you left you got to take one home with you! Our brilliant friend David concocted the idea and along with his two lovely roommates, Samantha + Chelsea, he hosted the lively event.

Not only did we have a blast making our mixes { can you guess which one in the picture is mine + which is Ryan’s? }, but we also got to take home two brand new cds! I can’t wait to pop them in while we drive around with the windows down in this gorgeous spring-like weather!

Have a wonderful day, friends!

Late Winter Sounds

There’s time for one last winter playlist before the spring comes.

I love to pull together songs according to the season. I feel that summer songs should be bright, warm, and ready for adventure, and fall should have a chill to it. Spring is light and pretty, but clearly gearing up for something. And in the winter, I like songs like these. I have a particular obsession with The Bird + The Bee every late February // early March, so you’ll find a bit of that included in my most recently completed playlist.

Please enjoy these last moments of winter, as I have a feeling it will all be coming to an end very soon. The sun is shining bright today, though our snow has not yet started to melt. It truly is the beginning of the end of winter, and I wanted to share with you what that sounds like to me.

What songs would you add to a late winter playlist?

What a week we’ve had!

I’ve been incredibly busy this week with my last minute preparations for Christmas. With less than a week left, I still have a lot to do. Tomorrow I’ll mail the last of my projects that are traveling, and then I’ll be able to focus on the rest of the things that I’m doing for those I’m spending the holiday with. I still feel so far behind!

We did take a break from all of our making to visit some friends in New Hampshire. Ryan + Rob {aka. The Rugg Brothers} were able to write a quick song and make an accompanying video while we ladies chatted about their greatest Christmas gift this year — baby number 2!

I’m sorry I’ve been absent more than usual lately. After Christmas I can promise I’ll be back in full swing. Until then, enjoy this new video song from the boys. I hope you love it!

Cheers and best wishes!

I love, love, love this song.

I mean, how could I not? It’s so much fun!  I’m considering listening to this on repeat while I clean up the house today…aaaand, you should, too. {I won’t tell, if you don’t!}

Have a lovely afternoon!

This album has been on repeat in my house all day.

As you can tell, I am really in love with it. It’s perfect for cleaning, working, or whatever you may have on your To-Do list. Play this next time you need a little energy, and you’ll be dancing while you accomplish your chore. The time will pass like nothin’ — promise!

You can listen to the entire album by clicking this link. If you like it, run out to your local record store and keep them in business!

Let me know if you agree!

My First Giveaway!

Posted in Free Giveaways, Music, tagged , , , , , , , , on September 23, 2011 | 4 Comments »

In honor of the first day of fall, I’d like to present you with my very first giveaway!

♥

A lot of the blogs I follow have frequent giveaways where one lucky commenter (in about 200) will get a bag or something. It’s great! I love getting free things! But I comment on just about every single one, and I’ve never actually been the lucky winner. So, I wanted to have a giveaway on my blog where everyone wins.

| If you’re reading this right now, you have won a lovely free download |

My darling writes the most beautiful music. He’s been writing a lot lately and has just started up his own BandCamp. Download a pretty little autumn song for free by clicking this link, then have a look at his page later if you like what you hear. There’s nothing uploaded to his site just yet, but if you check back next week there should be some great songs for you (maybe even with backing vocals by me)!

It’s my way of saying thanks :)

Enjoy, friends! And happy autumn!

xx.  julia
