Siesta, Siesta

Wish I were still under a palm tree. The blog is on hiatus while I recover from the flu...

Icicles Everywhere

Chilly winter night with icicles outside...an in too!

Packaging is Everything

A cool way to dress up any letter is to seal it with a piece of novelty tape. It gives the paper an extra wow!

Flowers to Brighten the Day

I love a fresh bouquet of flowers, even the simplest thing can brighten your day.

National Hat Day

Be sure to put one on today! I'll be wearing this on the beach:

My Hat Collection Grows

My hat collection is growing and I love to keep everything stored and protected from dust and light. I've got an eclectic hat box collection based on the space in my closet. To make it easier to find things I photographed my hats then printed out a contact sheet in iPhoto (see below), trimmed them up, then taped them on the box. So easy to find everything! Important note: tomorrow is National Hat Day!


In iPhoto, highlight the photos you'd like to print, go to File, then Print, choose contact sheet from the left tool bar, choose your paper size and printer, then print!


You can also click the Customize button if you'd like to arrange the photos a particular way or change the background.

Winter Nights, Winter Lights

Keeping the chilly nights bright.

Cinnamon Buns!

Working on perfecting a cinnamon bun recipe. This was the first try...they were yummy! Very yummy. But, I know I can do better...

New Year = New Organization Solutions

Space is limited and I always love things to look neat so making room for everything can be a challenge. I recently found these wicker picnic baskets at a thrift store and thought they'd be the perfect way to store things under my antique drop-leaf table. Now everything looks neat and is protected from dust.

My New Bird Magnets

Thanks Jess!

My Kitschy Kurt Wirth Plate

Check out my kooky plate, originally designed for Swiss Air by Kurt Wirth. Just found it in a thrift store and thought it would fit into my crazy plate collection.

Happy New Year!

Hope 2011 is off to a great start weather you're in the cold or warm...
