prairie life & times.

so, the names haley. completed my masters of interior architecture+product design from kansas state univ (thus, the prairie reference). entry level recent grads aren't on the menu for most firm h.r. reps, so i've been trying on some different jobs since graduation i.e., staffing agency admin assistant, local coffeehouse barista, health food grocer sign artist.. the outdoors are my real first love + an intense passion for current culture = distinctly edgy, yet grounded medium that can sometimes teeter on my totter of normality. enjoy*

courtesy @shannonscribner - finally watched all of “paris je t’aime” today. i’ve seen bits & pieces over the past couple of years but never the film in its entirety. it has been on my list for years. this scene was one of my favorites.. such a fantastic movie.
