Today I spent a little time at my mom's house. I brought her lunch and we wondered around the garden taking pictures of all the pretty things popping up from the ground. I've never been muc...
I apologize to any of you who are getting this blog post twice! It was supposed to post today...but instead posted briefly on Monday. I still can't figure out why...pre-blogging can come back to...
To all my readers who have subscribed via email to JARFLY, it seems that my email subscription "feedburner" is emailing old posts out, which is repetitive and probably confusing to see in y...
Unless stated otherwise, all photos are by Tyler Gould Maybe it's cliche', but I honestly can't believe a year has passed by since Kenny and I got married! Weddings are so funny that w...

I was reading my Elle Decor magazine this morning...which I mostly enjoy...but sometimes struggle to apply the asthetics featured to my average life. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful pu...
I may be a student of Graphic Design, but before they even allow us on the computers we have to draw...and draw a lot! Here is my latest endeavor. Part of me likes it...part of me thinks it looks lik...
Like every living & breathing woman, I love anything Jane Austen. I particularly enjoyed the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice starring Keira Knightley. Don't worry! For the purists amon...
Photo: JARFLY I've always loved collecting old glass. This has taken the form of marbles, sea glass, jars and most recently, bottles! Pairing a group of old bottles together (remember always to ...
Above, you see my very first blog post back in 2008. While watching a bear documentary and drinking wine with my best friend Bethany, she suggested I start a blog. "You should get a blog...you...
I bought a new summer dress yesterday, for the first time in a very long time. I'm kind of excited to see if it works out, it's still on it's way to me. Have you discovered Ruche yet? ...
Do you remember the opening scene of Sound of Music? Of course you do. Maria is twirling on a hill...the epic music queues up...she is free, she is sure...she is everything 9 year old Jenni could dre...
I have a confession. When I was in highschool, I became a chronic scrapbooker. Yes, a scrapbooker in the most lethal sense. I would take my hard earned babysitting money and gallop into the nearest &...
It's no secret that most well made high end clothing is expensive. Most of us will never wear an Alexander McQueen gown or buy every pair of denim we wear from Nordstrom. However today, I ran ac...
Im so excited to tell you I finally got a new camera! I had fun playing with it after work/school the last couple evenings. Yesterday I set up a tri-pod and went to town on a DIY project Ive had on m...
I can't believe it's Friday, the weeks are flying by like crazy, for me anyway. Anyone feel the same? Maybe it's silly, but I only recently discovered Instagram. It's finally avai...
I've admired Ilee Paper Goods for awhile now. I seem to find myself gawking over the simple yet detailed letterpress designs lining the rows of many card sections in New Seasons Market. Ja Teube...

If you look in my closet, there are a LOT of floral prints. Many I have never even worn due to fear or just lack of reason to (since I spend most of my time in a classroom these days). I've been...

During my little hiatus I spent a lot of time thinking about where I'd like JARFLY "the blog" to go. I came to many conclusions, but the thing I was most excited about was inviting oth...

Everyone once in awhile I come across art that is so unique and charming that I have to buy it right away. This would be one of those moments. I literally gasped when I saw Elly MacKay's Etsy sh...
I love bold colors. My living room is full of yellow and teal and if I had more gumption (or time) I would probably try to incorporate even more color. I've found myself newly drawn to coral sha...
Man alive, it's been a crazy few months for me. Do you ever feel like you have such a huge to-do list that every bit of it is only getting your bare minimum? It's not a very good feeling. F...
If you notice some, ahem, "funky" looking design on the site this week it's because Jarfly is in the middle of a facelift...in honor of a 3 year blog birthday. Stay tuned!
It's official...I've neglected my blog so much that I'm considering putting it out to pasture. However, that would be so very sad wouldn't it? Maybe? Maybe not? Well anyway, than...
Why do YOU read a blog? I'm curious to know. I had an interesting conversation with my friend Bethany about a month ago. I was expressing some of my dissolution with my own blog...and general bo...
I'm taking a printmaking class right now. Because our term is nearly over, everyone is trying to get their prints finalized, so a traffic jams tends to gather around the printing press. Anyway, ...
I will do a better post about our big trip to Uganda once we get all the photos and video together...but here's some little pieces. We traveled with a team through KUZA Program. KUZA offers coll...
