I was browsing a shop that’s closing down, looking for a bargain (didn’t find one…yet). Instead, I spotted a really neat idea. Here’s what I’m loving this Tuesday: Sculptural pillows Love it! I’m not sure I want one that’s ball-shaped, but it would make for a really fun pillow sham for the guest bed. Can […]

Just Becauses
I love just becauses. You know – things you do just because. Things like hanging notes all over to wish The Niece happy birthday last week. Silly, yes. Fun, definitely. Things like sticking a package of newly-baked cookies in the mail for your favorite recipe-testing friend to evaluate. Things like picking up an apricot kolache […]
Know When to Fold ‘Em
Today is Day 14 of coughing, itchy eyes and stuffy nose. And I am done with it. No amount of DayQuil, NyQuil, Robitussin, leftover prescription cough medicine and cough drops has moved me closer to wellness. As I rasped through a swollen vocal chords in a call to The Boy, I am sick of not […]

Even more often, you stop too soon and catch the tail end of the commercial break. That’s exactly what happened while we […]
From the Random File
I’ve been busy this week! Today was a welcome slow-down, with errands to do (or not do) and plenty of resting on the agenda. I squeezed in a quick trip to the grocery store and opted to turn the radio and iPod off. Quiet can be restful, particularly when your brain is even more tired […]
Feeling Floral
I love floral brooches – they make any outfit happy. Unfortunately, stocking up on them can make one’s pocketbook most unhappy.I decided to play around with flowers leftover from my wreath project and make my own. It was actually the easiest of craft projects, only requiring: Hot glue gun Artificial flowers Felt Pin backs (sold […]
