I heart books.

Over the years I have collected and been given a TON of coffee table/photo books. I can never have enough of them. Here are just a few corners of my house stacked with some of my favorites. Note: this is just in ONE room.














What's your favorite coffee table/picture book? C - Posted using BlogPress from my magical iPhone

True story.

So tonight I went to a party where a small group of folks get together and watch documentaries. I am OBSESSED with documentaries and always have been. I go to the Nashville Film Festival every year only to see the documentaries. Last year I saw around 20... in 5 days.  It got me thinking about my favorite docs of all time...which is really hard to narrow down! Anyways, here's what I came up with. I am SURE I left something out that I love but oh well.....enjoy!

(In no particular order)

What are your favorite documentaries?

Bluegrass State

So this weekend I went to Lexington, Kentucky to visit some friends. I also went to go bet on some fast horses at Keeneland. Here is what I did and what I saw.  Enjoy!

This is A La Lucie in Lexington. Amazing food and the best decor!

A La Lucie again. This is from an old drive in in Lexington. I wish I could have captured how big this was!

KEENELAND!

People looking at horses that run really fast. They were so amazing to watch...and very sweaty.

All my betting tickets from Keeneland. No wins but had a blast!

Barrel of horses. Is this kinda like Band of horses?

This was inside of my table at a restaurant in Louisville called Lynn's Paradise Cafe.  That orange thing was labeled "Orange Juice Falls".

Lynn's again. I loved the lamps in the trees.

So beautiful!

Jason and Cha-Cha at Lynn's.

Places to go in Lexington:  A La Lucies ,   Ramseys,   Bourbon and Toulouse,  Street Scene,  Pop's Resale.

Places to go (that I know of so far) in Louisville:  Lynn's Paradise Cafe,  Acorn,  Nitty Gritty, Zappo's Outlet, Crazy Daisy Antique Mall.

I can't wait to go explore more in Louisville when I have more time. Do you have any places you love in Kentucky?

Doc-tober!

This month is Doc-tober at the Belcourt Theater here in Nashville! I am a HUGH documentary lover and I am beyond excited to see these movies! I think I'm gonna be living at the theater the month of October. Good thing they have booze...and Olive and Sinclair chocolates. Here are my picks!

Some of these are only showing one or two nights so you gotta hustle if you wanna make it to see them!
Below is the link to the Belcourt and you can watch trailers there if your as nerdy as me. Happy Doc-tober!
