Claire and I have matching boots. This delights us. Her and me. Matching. Oh, yes. We are also both wearing orange. I point this out to her, and that’s how she smiles when she realizes she matches mommy. This wearing orange…it’s a new thing for me… I used to be afraid of orange. Or hate…

My Easter Outift
I found the hat at the salvation army two weeks ago. I was so excited, but restrained myself from jumping up and down in public. It didn’t occur to me until Saturday night that I should wear it for Easter Sunday (it wouldn’t be the first time I used Easter Sunday as an excuse to…

…to buy maternity clothes. (This is not an announcement – I am not pregnant!) I’m 5’9″, so pants only look right if I get them extra long.

6 Things I’ve Having A Blast With This Week

And those mini glass cupboards – there are about 10 of them! There are two of these corner glass display cupboards… And TWO lazy susans!…

Thrifted Thursday
Oh, boy – we made out good this week, and I just had to share!Found: at the Bed, Bath, and Beyond Clearance store – At last! After 2 1/2 years of marriage, we have full set of dishes! Originally $60, we got the whole box for $13, ’cause the serving bowl was broken. That’s less…

Thrifted Thursdays
So, I absolutely love Amy Butler – who doesn’t? Her patterns, her style, and especially, her CLOTH. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, follow the link and feast your eyes. I love her lucious, bold floral prints that seem to be the best of vintage prints re-incarnated with today’s flair. And I love…
