Happy Leap Day! Flickr has been under the weather, so I’m not getting my usual “fix” of photos from my contacts. But it’s time for the Five, so on we go:

MORNING HAS BROKEN
Wow. That was quick and surprisingly easy. Have a wonderful weekend – [...]

Above is Wednesday’s breakfast. The scones are from a Target Starbucks: they’re small petite vanilla bean, and quite good. As you can see, my au lait art will not get me hired anywhere anytime soon. The good news is, it tastes the same …..
Two things from my “reading stack” have me clicking around online this [...]

Hey, I get it. Snow is pretty. Even here, on the pear tree, I see it. And I was all over its prettiness, back in December. And January (maybe). But March arrives on Saturday, and I am so, so ready for any hint of spring that is out there. Please?
While I wait, you’ll want to [...]

Today, I thought I’d share my favorite business cards acquired from our recent travels, along with a few thoughts:
The San Francisco area has some incredibly yummy food options. I’m still thinking about my lunch at Tartine, pot de creme (and cupcakes and candy) from miette, and standing in line for a wonderful lunch from Bouchon [...]

I cannot believe that it is Friday already. I’m still thinking about San Francisco and the lovely time we had. But I’ll have to get back to that later. Right now, it’s time for the Five:
Ripley’s Narrowest House in America

pots de creme
Make a Wish
…bubblkeh…
Sneaking in a little plug: I bought (and ate) some of [...]

Prada’s fall collection featured lots and lots of lace, which didn’t do much for me. I preferred the looks above. But here’s the thing: back in September, when I was studying their spring collection, the bolder prints and florals didn’t do much for me, either. And now I’m kind of intrigued. So perhaps [...]

The last time we visited San Francisco (spring of 1996!), one of the shops I’d hoped to visit, but didn’t, was Bell’occhio. I regretted not stopping in, and would be reminded of it each time I’d flip through Martha, or Victoria, and see it cited for some fabulous item. Well, this time I would not [...]
