our outfits weren't planned.
i promise.
marisa and tim came over to my house for their engagement session, and we used the opportunity to finally exchange art.  she made me paintings, i made her polaroids prints on canvas.  we agreed to do the trade a few months ago, but this was the first time we had seen each other in a while!

i was so excited to get some new art,
and to have original paintings by marisa is lucky!
her work is thoughtful and deep, spunky and witty, whimsical and bright.

so she arrives,
gives me my paintings which she made specifically for ME.... (again.... so lucky!)
and i happened to be dressed in the same colors.  pink and green.
my current favorite.
i think i wear that green sweater 5 days of the week.
i'm wearing it right now.
and i gave her the polaroid art,
and guess what she was wearing?
yellow.

i love the world.
(here's what's now above my desk! i love that shelf, and how it gives me the ability to change up my decor at my every whim. which is often.)


here are the polaroids before they went off to their new owner,


fyi: she has paintings for sale that would make great gifts! they're affordable! contact her.
and i am in the works of setting up an etsy shop to sell polaroid prints.  if you're interested, they're $85.  until the shop is open, email me! yes@shannonleith.com

and p.s.----------- do you see the other coincidence of the photos that also wasn't planned? i freaked out when i saw it. take a look.
