Steal of a Deal

This morning I snuck away from the family long enough to find a great deal at our community yard sale: the pax-eco tote from The Sak. (And what a beautiful morning, too.) I hope you have a great weekend and a happy Mother's Day!

What I Saw Today

Happy Florzinhas

I planted these little guys last Friday, just before J&G came over for dinner. However, I've been so busy I didn't get a chance to take pictures. I can't believe how much they've already grown! To give some context, there are three separate plants in the white container (2 cilantro and 1 flower) -- none of which were big enough to touch when I first planted them. Not even a week later and they're getting all friendly! Love it!

Stomp, stomp!

This adorable flannel with elephants stomping all over was just begging to be made into a receiving blanket. I'm sending it to a friend from work. Congrats on your new, baby boy, K!

The Gang's All Here!

Thanks to my friends who helped me out today, I was able to pick up my in-laws at the airport just as they were claiming their luggage. Perfect timing! And look how happy they are to see their son...

A Birthday Wish

Once upon a time, there was a little girl with a little house...

...but at night, when the wind would blow, she'd have to curl up to keep warm. So, on her first birthday, she wished with all her might for something pink and purple and cuddly (or at least that's what I'm sure she would have said if she could talk that well).

Ta-da! Do you think she'll like them? Her very own monogrammed pillow and matching blanket, just right for her new house.

Living Art

On my way to work this week, I've felt like I was driving through a painting. The lighting has been just soft enough, and the blooming trees have been just pretty enough, that I felt like I was surrounded by strokes of a paintbrush. Maybe an impressionist piece?  Something like this...

Too bad we only get to enjoy this once a year!
