Weekend Pounce!

They might not be in season, but I love this piece, & was a little shocked to discover that I hadn’t put it up as a Pounce yet…I must have subconsciously been trying to keep it for myself?

{Hint: this is a big wish list thing of mine; I may limit the pieces [...]

Shades of Grey: Basics

Etsy: Eyes of Charcoal Dress

I’ve recently decided that I was meant to wear dresses. They’ve somehow evolved into my favorite wardrobe basic, and I’m unwittingly becoming known for them around town. Going from a tomboy-type closet, with three pairs of GAP jeans, one pair of sneakers, and an endless supply of black baggy shirts, [...]

August Goals

August Goals: Drink more tea. Is it even possible?

Goals for August- I want to make:

1. Pear & Raspberry Mini-Pies, from Project Wedding.

2. Japanese Sweet Bread, from Jasmine Tea.

3. Lemon & Semolina Buttermilk Cake, from Kitchenist.

By the way, I’m totally impressed by Not Without Salt. I’m not into baby [...]

I Want an Apron

Apple Pancakes Apron

I want an apron. Specifically, this apron, because it’s bright, and it has scribbles all over it, most notably the one on the pockets reading “flour sugar milk”… it’s so cute, and I love the handwritten-quality of the writing.

It’s not that I’m messy when I bake, even though [...]

Wardrobe Re-Do

Cute. I want them.

I’m overhauling my possessions. This is no small task, and as I slog through a now ankle-deep layer of wardrobe possibilities, I’ve started thinking about the few things left on my wish list that I would like to bring in, as I move greater quantities out. I’ll have to pray that [...]

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 [...]

Miss Marple Monday

Tea!

Monday Pounce!

I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been listening to Rosemary Leach reading The Mirror Crack’d, and now I’m a bit of a Miss Marple kick:

Makurokurosuke Tea Set

Makurokurosuke Plates

…would you believe I’ve been trying to get a set in this exact pattern for years? I even held the teapot and sugar bowl in [...]

Inception

We went to see Inception this weekend, and it was amazing.

I’ve been getting more and more picky about how my idle time is spent, and movies out have been one of the first things to go: a matinee is almost twice as much as it was when I was a kid, you run the risk [...]

Summer Reading

Good to the Grain

Books on my current wishlist:

♦Note: I love the “Look Inside” feature on Amazon. With jewelry, often the authors/publishers prohibit this feature {fears of designs being stolen or used without being paid for} and with cookbooks, occasionally publishers do the same; but how else can I know whether the recipes are ones I [...]

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 [...]
