Bird Hook

My internet has been wonky for the past three days. It has been coming and going whenever it pleases, not bothering to think about my wants or needs and leaving me very frustrated! I wanted to get this post up yesterday, but due to my flaky internet access and a stupid glitch that caused all [...]

Glasses and Marinated Cherry Tomato Salad

When I was young there were certain things that I was envious of those who had them. The first was braces. In the second grade I thought the kids who had braces in my class looked so mature and very grown up, and all I wanted was to be one of them. This naturally led [...]

Knit Snuggie

Yesterday my sister and I got together for lunch, during which we decided to spend the afternoon crafting. I have been wanting to make some knit or crocheted dishcloths for my kitchen, so we went to the fabric store to buy yarn and needles. When I worked for Michael’s eight or so years ago I [...]

New Beehive Hat

This isn’t actually something I wore yesterday, though if I had made plans to get out of the house, I would have loved to wear it out! I really just threw on the dress so I could model the hat I got at an estate sale almost two weeks ago. I absolutely love this style [...]

Homemade Pita Bread

I think I have mentioned it several times here already, but in our last apartment we didn’t have an oven. Every time I wanted to do some baking (and I often did), I had to use this funky little vintage Toastmaster toaster oven that I thrifted for $2.95. While it was big enough to do [...]

Balcony Garden

Since we moved into our apartment two months ago, I have had this dream in my head of using all of our outside space to grow vegetables and herbs (and hopefully have enough room for two chairs and a mini table). Up until this weekend I had not made any official decisions as to how [...]

Heart to Heart

Lets have a heart to heart…about this blog. As you may have noticed, posting to this blog has slowed significantly since it’s creation…which really isn’t saying much for me as a blogger, since it is not even a year old. I guess I have just been feeling like this blog has become more of a [...]

Weekend Estate Finds

As many Saturday mornings, Russ and I woke up early, brewed some strong coffee, and grabbed our list of addresses. Out the door we went to start checking each estate sale off our list. This week we had an extra long list. I think it must be estate sale season here in San Diego–everywhere we [...]

Friday Favorites

1. Country Girrrl, 2. glamour chic, 3. sofa, 4. little bo peep, 5. bedside, 6. Yellow Vintage Sheets, 7. Hallway Curiosities, 8. home, 9. I See Me This is one of my favorite Flickr collages to date. For some reason this week I kept finding images in complimentary color schemes, so putting this together was [...]

Apronite of the Month

I nearly forgot to mention that the lovely Donna invited me to be Apronite of the Month for the month of April over on the Apron Revolution. I thought I would share the interview portion of the article on the blog, but to read the rest of the article go here. Do you feel being [...]
