Floating along

I'm so swamped at the moment; apologies for the slow posting, but I have a bunch of fun things for you coming soon, so please stay tuned...

P.S. These balloons were at car dealerships, can you believe it?

I just about squealed when these images popped up! A) Because you're back from vacay and B) because they're so pretty on this rainy day:)

Tam Hess said...

Pretty pictures! You captured those balloons perfectly. xoxo

Anne @ The City Sage said...

I totally feel you---sometimes I have entire conversations with the huz only to realize later that I've not heard a word he said because I was so engrossed in some project or another! Love the idea of a 10 second goodbye rule!

Jane Flanagan said...

We have the same rule at my house. Much nicer hugs that way!

A Life More Fabulous said...

These make me happy - I'm starting to look at balloons in a whole new way lately. I'm thinking about incorporating them into my wedding decor. Maybe I'll go raid a car dealership....

Great rule. It's those little things that make a big difference.

It is pooring out there right now, but those balloons have put a smile on my face. :-)

Alison said...

I love those peachy balloons.

Actually a good idea for a 10 second goodbye! Go Alex!

Anali said...

Love these! I've been noticing so many pretty balloons around lately. It's hard to match the sheer joy, color, and whimsy of balloons! :D

A Day That is Dessert said...

love these photos :) and yes I can believe about the dealership. The camera conceals as much as it reveals....

Of course you're swamped - a wedding, work, etc. I don't know how you manage to blog at all; am just thankful you take the time to say 'hello' and brighten our day when you can.

seesaw designs said...

Such pretty photos. I know the 'swamped' feeling; it happens to me more often than I'd like :)

lahmode said...

Oh those look like so much fun! I'm guessing you are looking at a new car?

Tina said...

Carlotta said...

Megan said...

I just love photos like these-it makes me feel like the summer season has arrived (even though it isn't "officially" here for another 2 weeks). Have a wonderful day Joanna!

Melissa said...

those photos brightened my day! Take a deep breath...you deserve it! :)

Joanna Goddard said...

thanks for your sweet notes! these photos aren't by me -- they're by harpy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/harpy/

Rebecca said...

this weekend i drove by a few car dealerships with huge, perfectly round balloons on each car. it really made the drive so much more pleasant!

Alex said...

Who'd have thought that car dealerships would take a hint from the Miss Dior Cherie advertisement video?

Fabulous!

Simply Mel said...

I don't need a new car, but I would seriously think about stopping in for a test drive just to be near all those happy balloons!

clairette said...

I love those balloons!!!!

Laura said...

Can't wait to see what you have in the works! Alex's rule is cute and those balloon pictures are great! Thanks for a day brightener.

LouDuk said...

Love the photographs!

shelliebellie said...

really a car dealership? well you wouldn't know it! they are so fun and carefree. love them!!! no worries you must be sooo busy with wedding planning, and Glamour and everything!

everyonce in a while everyone needs a day to themselves! to curl up with ice cream and watch movies all day or go to the park adn nap in the sun and grass....

take care!!!

Amber Enea said...

Love these pictures!!!

Whitney Gray said...

Make it Easy said...

what pretty balloons!!

Sarah said...

Hi my dear, this is exactly how I felt today: detached, misunderstood, spacey and floaty! You captured my mood with those photos. xo

Carissa said...

I love these photos. I am so swamped with work at the moment too, and pretty stressed out, but these balloons instantly made me smile. thanks for sharing!

Abbey Goes Design Scouting said...

alex is a doll! Hope your work eases up.... xoxoxo abbey

Kristin said...

I would so frame those shots!! And your hubs rocks!

LowerEatSide said...

I want to make a rule that my boyfriend needs to get up from the computer to greet me every time I come home. I hate walking home to the apartment and facing the back of his head.

CreativeOCD said...

I love that Alex asked that of you. My fiance and I have a rule about "thresh hold greetings" ... meaning we always run to the door when the other comes home for a kiss and hug. Sometimes it's the best part of my day b/c I know I'll always get a hug.

Chessa! said...

I love these! I love the soft processing of the photos. so dreamy.

Jessie said...

I love the rule you and Alex made, and I might have to steal it for G and I!

Also, loving these photos! Goes to show that you can find pretty pictures nearly anywhere!

Un samedi... said...

trop beau tous ces ballons !!!!
