Friday Flickr Five

I cannot believe that tomorrow is December 1, and yet we’re slated to (possibly) get a winter storm tomorrow. Hope that it’s just a bit too warm for ice. My sister is getting married tomorrow, and I would like to get to the ceremony/reception and back safely, thank you very much. We shall see what [...]

More more more to read

I’m beginning to realize where my “found” four hours each week (not watching Jon or Stephen due to the writers’ strike) are going. They’re going to blog reading. I keep coming across new ones that pique my interest, and then I have to keep up with their daily postings. It goes in cycles. For a [...]

More things I want (that you may, too)

You can’t miss them: ’tis the season for gift guides. I love them, but the more I read, the longer the “Things I Want” list becomes, instead of the sensible “That would make a great gift for X” which would actually be getting me somewhere. For example, have you seen:

This is quickly turning into the week about food. But I’ll start with something healthy. While we were grocery shopping this weekend, I saw the first Satsumas of the year displayed.

For example, I learned that Cottage Living’s December issue features a cute snowball windowbox project. (see photo above) Doesn’t that look cozy? I wish that I had installed a windowbox this year on [...]

Emily, Felix and Martha

Well, it was another busy weekend, with no end in sight. Friday night, we ventured into the city to attend Emily’s Open Studio night. (This is the best photo I took. Of course it is of the food.) It was great to finally meet Emily – we’ve been talking over the blogosphere for awhile now. [...]

Great Idea, or Crazy? You decide!

Hello again! I was reading Emily’s guest blog post about business cards (well, that wasn’t exactly the theme, but it’s what I focused on) because I am geekily in love with cool business cards. My son will even pick them up for me in a shop, restaurant, wherever. It’s cute, especially when we’re somewhere like, [...]
