Dear Books I've Read: I'm sorry – I haven't kept up with a list of books I've read nor recorded what thoughts I had about each of you – such as what I've learned, what I liked about you, and what drove me crazy!  It was a fluke today (merrily going along – clicking links)…

Friday was not a good day. I wanted to yell, "DO OVER" so many times that day…but a highlight was finding out that my local independent bookstore carried these adorable Maruca bags.   I'd like to go back and buy one in that stripe/leafy pattern.  It's gorgeous.  [the odd caption is because the photo is…

I haven't fixed up my deck as an outdoor European cafe yet…maybe this weekend.  the inspiration below is from a new favorite blog, the haystack needle.  my closest-deck-neighbor lives on her deck…from early morning to late at night – since the bugs have yet to arrive in full force.  Perhaps it's time to join her…
