What a summer, I must say one of the most enjoyable of my life. I landed back in the states after living in China for four months at the end of June. I hung with my family for a week in the High Uintahs, climbed Kings Peak (highest climb in Utah, whoo!), then meandered forty miles south and ended up popping out at a buddy's cabin. After that adventure, I hitched a ride with a friend to Telluride where I picked up THE beautiful Sprinter Van that I got to call home for the next two months. What good times I had, mostly traveling between Wyoming and Colorado between music festivals, stopping along the way to see family and friends and explore the trails of the West. I'm officially a festival gal, and can't seem to get enough of 'em. You can call me a vagabond vendor, selling jewelry on the side to get me to the music festival scene. Dig It! I can't even begin to explain the amazing times I had this summer, I just find myself looking forward to next festival season. I've met so many great people and had phenomenal adventures. I even got my camera out and got a few shots to add to my music photography, here are some pics from the fantastic time I had.

Home Sweet Home.
Fell in love with this kiddo's, they helped me realize that I had two hammocks in my van and helped me set them up at Grand Targhee. Too cute!

This is the view from my booth at Targhee Bluegrass. Best show of the season and I had an actual view of the stage!

Alabama Shakes |
Spent the last two weeks at my brother's (you could say that we have the same parents but different cousins) house in Boulder. This is taken standing in his living room. Pretty sure I left my heart in Boulder.
One of the best shows of the summer. Alabama Shakes blew my MIND!!!

This is Miss Finney, who I absolutely adore! Fell in love with her at a festival and you could say we've been breast friends ever since.
