A great read!

Have you heard of this magazine? No? It's fab*u*lous! Their tagline is "a magazine for the creative and curious". I'll second that! It's not available at the big chain bookstores, so I recommend ordering your copy online: http://shop.uppercasegallery.ca/

Boots

I love boots. And I love McKenize-Childs. So imagine my giddiness when I saw these on the back cover of their recent catalog. They arrived today. Took me about 2 seconds to rip open the box and put them on. It's supposed to rain tomorrow ... yay ...

Three for you + one for me

No snow ... sigh. So today was clean up day around here and that means new stuff was added to the store http://www.thepaperfleamarket.com/ (that's the three for you part). New stuff like the tire compass above.

And this old elementary arithmetic book.

And milk caps

Friday I went to a barn sale and found this wonderful old market basket on wheels. I'm in love (that's the one for me part)

No regrets + waiting for snow

I can deal with a lot of things, but regret isn't one of them. Usually I'm pretty good about following my gut. But lately, I haven't been trusting my instincts and have regretted it later. So today I vowed in my journal that I will trust my instincts. There, I've said it out loud. No turning back now .

We're supposed to get snow tomorrow. Finally. Been waiting all winter for this. PS-I'm a snow girl.

Channeling my inner Eric Carle

You know? The author/illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and so many others? Did you know he painted the tissue paper he used in his collages? The things you learn when you agree to go help the kids at elementary school! I painted a bunch of tissue papers this morning for them to use in their collages today ('cause I knew there wouldn't be enough time for them to paint, dry and collage). I am CRAZY about this technique! I'm off to go paste some in my journal now...

Happy Heart Day 2012!

Hope yours is just "love"ly ...

a WOW kinda day

Had a banner day at the thrift shop. Just look at these wool blankets. $2.99 each. Somebody pinch me! (and it gets better ... 25% off all purchases on Monday. Wahoo!)

Books galore!

Hmm, what's she gonna do with these, you may be asking yourself. Stay tuned ...

And anybody who knows me well, knows this is the most perfect find!

Hope your Monday is going great!
