All that glitters...

Really, why was glitter invented? It infects carseats, carpet, and clothes. I can't stand the stuff peeling of my kids art projects and infesting everywhere.

And why give such a dangerous tool to young children carelessly wielding a bottle of glue like a wino with his brown sack covered bottle?

The Minimalist Kitchen




Even minimalists clean out their junk sometimes. January seems to be the season for clearing out and re-arranging.

Throw out your Coach purse


If I see another Coach handbag, I will be sick. They are absolutely everywhere. 


Now that conspicuous consumption is passe (thank goodness) a few simple purses have started to emerge. I have fallen in love with these from Medina Baskets. They are beautiful, practical, multipurpose bags made to help reduce the use of plastic bags. These could be used as an everyday bag, a market bag, beach bag, book bag...you get the picture.

Wouldn't this look great with a simple sundress and sandals. I know, I know...it is still Winter, but it never hurts to look ahead.

The Sound of Gossip


Hello. Did you have a nice weekend? Yeah, me too. Here are some things I enjoyed:

1. Listening to the OMFGG soundtrack makes me not feel so old. 
2. Then I had to catch up on my missed episodes
3.Homemade chicken soup with cilantro and lime
4. Shopping for espadrilles. I think I like these by Eric Michael. What do you think?
5. All the new spring accessories coming into Target. A white wicker cube jumped into my basket.
6. Clementine oranges
7. I'm in love with this straw French Market Basket. Perfect with a sundress. Also perfect with aforementioned espadrilles.
8. A trip to IKEA to pick up Euro sized pillows for my new vintage white pillowcovers.

I carry your heart

e.e. cummings is one of my favorite poets. And this is one of my favorite poems. Have a nice day my lovelies!


i carry your heart with me

 
 i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart) 

ee cummings
