It’s been a little more than three years since I hopped on a tandem bicycle with my soon-to-be husband and rode through the streets of Kensington with some of our best friends to get hitched to my best friend. While our marriage has fared quite well in the subsequent trio of years, the tandem suffered a different fate, basically falling apart right after the wedding. Last summer, we entrusted the tandem to the fine folks at Doylestown Bike Works upon the urging of a friend of mine who has been involved with DBW since they opened in 2011. Ever since we picked it up in April (and no, it didn’t take that long for them to rehab it–we’re just delinquents), I’ve been meaning to show off the fantastic work they did. Our anniversary seemed as good as any occasion for a little show-and-tell (even if I’m a few days late for that, too).

Illustrate 2012: September
Here we are once again at the end of the month, and here I am again getting this illustration done just under the wire. I’m exhausted from having played at a frisbee tournament this weekend in Maryland, so I will be brief in my description.
Since my first wedding anniversary is coming up very soon, I decided that this month’s illustration would revisit the tandem bicycle, which was featured prominently in our wedding invitations. We rode a tandem to our wedding (and if you’re interested, you can read all about that and the rest of our wedding in this post), so it seemed like featuring the tandem again was a nice way to pay homage to our forthcoming anniversary.
In less happy news, I had my wallet stolen last week while I was meeting someone for drinks at a local watering hole. Of course, having your wallet stolen comes with all the usual frustrations of having to cancel your credit cards and replace your license, but I was extra bummed about having lost the wallet because it had butterflies on it, and they made me smile. So the little butterfly is a nod to my stolen wallet. Perhaps putting it out there to the universe will bring my wallet back to me.
And with that, I give you September’s illustration:
Maybe next month will be the month where I don’t finish the illustration at the last minute. Hey, a girl can hope, right?
