I got an email the other day of my brother asking, if this was my idea. And I love the idea.

The Foundmagazine

I have known the Foundmagazine for many years – it shows one find every day and it often makes me laugh and almost cry…

“So, what’s this all about?
We collect found stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids’ homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, doodles– anything that gives a glimpse into someone else’s life. Anything goes.

We certainly didn’t invent the idea of found stuff being cool. Every time we visit our friends in other towns, someone’s always got some kind of unbelievable discovered note or photo on their fridge. We decided to make a bunch of projects so that everyone can check out all the strange, hilarious and heartbreaking things people have picked up and passed our way.

And how’d this all start?

“Ihnen wurde zugetraut, auch ohne Mann im Leben zurechtzukommen und gut zu verdienen (auf ein Arbeitsleben hochgerechnet, verdienen sie geschätzte 361.708,20 Euro mehr).”

oh yeah.

I just visited my friend Lynne’s blog and stumbled on Georgie’s blog and found this picture of her grandparents. I love it. It’s a cool cheesy. Desmond and I are getting married in less than two months and I will make sure a picture like this is taken. By the way – something like nothing is organized for our wedding. It will be very off-mainstream, simple and hopefully stress-free. We don’t want anyone to combine the word stress and our wedding ever! x
