what didn't make it to instagram

good grief, do i love instagram. it's this wonderful, beautiful little time waster when you have a few minutes (or hours) to kill. i just love the simplicity of it. you like a picture, you move on. it doesn't require a ton of focused attention, and i love scrolling through an endless feed of beautiful pictures. it's so inspiring-like a real life pinterest!

here are some images that didn't make it to my instagram feed for one reason or another. happy non-instagramming! (i'd love for you to follow me on instagram! you can find me here: @laceykate)

    1. well, thank you, but i think we actually make the rest of humanity look pretty dull when we're together. cute strength in numbers.

  2. I love that art print that your mom made for you! It's so sweet and the perfect gift idea.

    I also love what you said about instagram. I never really thought about its simplicity and how much it's like a real-life pinterest, but it really is and I completely agree! It makes me want to post something on there now. :)

    p.s. I know I already said this, but I also really, really love that I can now comment on your blog without giving any Etsy Swap stuff away by accident!

    Sidenote: apparently I also really like to use the word "love." :)

    1. love is a great word-use it!! the art print is now one of my favorite framed pieces. i have an idea of where i want to hang it, but right now it's sitting pretty on that same chair. i'm glad we can comment openly now, too! thank you again for my gifts. i have been wearing my earrings on the daily. i have always wanted a pair exactly like them. you're good.

  5. Instagram is definitely my favorite time filler, I love peeking in on all my friends lives as if I were right there beside them.

    1. yes, i agree. it's a very cool way to keep up with little visual reminders. so much fun looking through yours!

  6. These were so fun to look through. I can't tell you how many pictures I have on my phone that were meant to be posted to instagram but just didn't make the cut. And I am seriously obsessed with that app- it's probably my favorite! That print that your mom made is so rad! I was hoping that you were going to say it was from a store so that I could pick one up! It's too cool :)

    1. i know, girl. it's like how do i pick which ones make it to insta and which ones don't?? this might become a regular feature for that very reason. i always love seeing what you post! my mom is so creative. i think i'm going to have her make me a few more just because i love it so much! she could probably make a pretty penny doing this as a side job.

  8. I love this idea! I have so many pictures that never get posted. Okay, that iced latte. YUM. Have you ever made your own? I've been itching to try Ree Drummonds homemade iced coffee!

    1. by making my own do you mean leaving hot coffee out on the counter so long that it turns cold? if so, then yes! :-) if you make see drummonds' recipe, you must blog about all the caffeinated details! yum.
