wednesday wuvlies: sweet rides

this week i saw some sweet little rides. many of them blue, of course.

some were really, really blue.

what could be more fun for a morning run for some macdo coffee?

except maybe this.

this baby is more my style.

ciao bella!

mint green. vintage.

'nuf said.

hello, old friend.

haven't seen this tangerine scooter in a while.

or is it apricot?

i can't decide.

nice to see you stella.

saw this vespa at trader joe's.

pretty cool.

and then there's this guy.

pretty ingenious if you ask me.

have you seen any sweet rides this week?

turquoise beauty

you know how i am. when i see a gorgeous vintage car (especially a blue one), i've got to take a picture.

i saw this beauty pull in to a parking lot and i had to hop out and say hello.

turns out owner anthony is a sweet guy and let me take pictures of his ford galaxy 500xl.

fyi, this car is famous. it has been in multiple music videos and was driven around by delta burke in the title sequence of her short-lived nashville-based sitcom, delta.

thanks, anthony! i promise not to stalk you.

luckily this blue beauty wasn't swept away.

it cheered my heart to see this fabulous car safely parked above flood level near our apartment.

blue monday

just look at this gorgeous blue mrs. godfrey chair by jonathan adler.

and the cost? don't ask.

{sigh}

more fun with blue bikes

not only have i caught a glimpse on campus twice this week of the cool blue bike that i love (is it possible to stalk a bike?) ...

i saw this one in the window at apricot lane boutique in green hills mall.

i may need to go junk shopping this week and find a vintage bike of my own ...

my blue heaven.

it seems i will never run out of seeing gorgeous blue things.

this scooter is the bomb.

have a blue weekend!

saw this car and couldn't resist. a baby blue thunderbird.

not sure why i felt the need to snap this car surreptitiously. i'm sure the owner would have been thrilled to show it off.

have a wonderful weekend! may you have blue skies and blue eggs in your basket!

and speaking of blue things

here's my adorable boy doing what he loves best in the new city apartment.

pushing the elevator button.

doesn't he look gorgeous in blue?

i want this bike

i really do. i think it almost has the cache of the blue one i like.

but i don't want to go to a fancy store and buy it. i want to find it at a garage sale for $5 - vintage, all dinged up, chipped paint.

i want to fix it up and make it mine.

wide tires with gleaming white sidewalls, and a big ole retro bell on the handlebars.

yeah, that would be pretty sweet.

feeling blue?

i saw this old blue beemer near my office and fell in love. loving blue today.

something blue

i liked this ad i saw in the window of the buckle store at the cool springs galleria. this couple is leaning against this amazing retro blue station wagon. love it.

he's blue too

i saw this plate and had to get a snap - excuse the darkness and blur. if you can't read it, it says "BLUEMAN."

as you know, i do love all things blue, and as far as that lonely blue bike i've been watching, well, it's gone and the police say they didn't impound it, so i have to believe its rightful owner came to her senses and un-abandoned it.

however ... it's more fun to think that maybe BLUEMAN saw it, knew his gal would love it, and rescued the bike from its chains.

but who knows how these things go.

it's gone and i'm blue

the abandoned blue bike is gone.

all that remains is the note the campus police left on the seat, now taped to the guard rail where the bike once was chained.

was it impounded? did the owner claim it?

was it stolen?

the world may never know.

[UPDATE: i am inquiring as to what happened to the bike. if campus police indeed impounded it, i'm going to find out if it's up for grabs. we'll see.]

may i have it?

Dear Campus Police,

This blue bike has been chained here for more than five days.

Recently it was tagged for removal by one of your officers. Clearly the owner is oblivious to its value and it has been abandoned.

If it's all right with you, I'd like to have it for my own.

Please let me know if that is possible, and if so, where I may pick it up.

sincerely,
a lover of all things blue
