Love Noritake

Guess what popped up at our friendly neighborhood Value Village?? I got a text on my way home from work last week with a big alert: Noritake tea set! Come and get it! Let’s hear it for good friends, who know great teacups when they see them. ♥

I brought them home and gave [...]

Food for Thought

Strawberry Love

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like “What about lunch?”
-A.A. Milne via Winnie the Pooh

igigi & Design Theory

igigi: Everything I need, I could find here.

Have you heard of the igigi general store? It hurts my feelings that it’s in Sussex. As in England, at least a nine hour flight and big money from here…but still tempting.

As I wander around their site, I’m already designing our new rustic house in a big sunny [...]

But Will it Make You Happy?

Is it a strawberry?

“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

- Christopher Robin to Pooh

The King County Metro system has moved my bus stop. {Pause for dramatic effect.}

…they actually put another one back, the one between Molly Moon and The Cuff. I [...]

Alice Necklace

New pieces up on Etsy! I finished my Alice in Wonderland necklace this weekend, and it’s gorgeous…I wish I could keep it for myself; I’ll have to make more! I used another rutilated/tourmalinated quartz drop, and finished it with a stack of four ruby briolettes. I love the color in these: it’s the [...]

Spotted Owls

Owls!

Monday Pounce! For someone who can’t sew, I have kind of an addiction to fabric. Etsy makes this much easier on me, since it’s so far away, and I won’t risk walking out of a store holding a bundle of beautiful fabric that would just go to waste in our home!

…and I love owls, [...]

I'm an Etsy Seller! {Woo!}

Sterling & Rutilated Quartz

My first piece is up on Etsy; it can be found here! {Now if only I could get my heart out my throat, and get my breathing back to normal without the aid of a paper bag.}

Fish Food

I can so catch fish!

I have proof! I went on vacation, and caught a fish! {Love the hat.}Not just any fish, but a big, fat, 16″ bass-type fish. {Bass} I actually thought it was a log until it started moving from side to side, and of course, the flopping bass jumping out of the [...]

Good Habits

"Where is my supersuit??"

A collection of links for you, for all the things I like to save up and read at once after a couple weeks:

habit: sometimes this even feels too personal to read.

unruly things: for when my random search mojo fails to find me cool new things.

abby try again: love the name. love [...]

Return of Tuffy

Tuffy I

Remember Tuffy? The original floppy cat!

Tuffy II

Tuffy III

"You again?"

"I tire of your picture taking."

"Fine. But get my good side."

Tuffy has it pretty good. Chipmunks, birds at the bird feeder, lots of sunbeams…never enough food though. I don’t think he could ever get enough food. He did a crazy [...]
