Black Friday

Happy shopping to all you bargain hunters and good luck with your retail adventures. I will not be joining you. Instead I will be eating leftovers and avoiding crowds.

a little Monday pick-me-up

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I know I did. Did anyone out there have particularly exciting adventures?

I'm keeping my good time Sunday mood with this fantastic little video. I've always loved Christopher Walken, but I never knew he could dance before this collaboration with Fat Boy Slim and Spike Jones.

just when I'd almost given up on you, Facebook

Just when I was really questioning the value of social networks, an old friend found me. Here's to you Mr. Parker. You have saved my Facebook account from almost certain destruction and you have renewed my faith in the system.

Happy Friday everyone.

Buck Up 'Lil Pardner Pie

The best part of this triple strawberry cream pie? Eating it at midnight with a side order of good conversation.

Coco at Last

After what seemed like a million years of waiting, I finally saw Coco Before Chanel. It wasn't a perfect film, but I enjoyed it anyway.

Seen any good movies lately?

Pies are for Eating

I didn't make it to the pie contest today. This week was so crazy and I just wasn't prepared. Pies are for eating anyway, right?

Happy Saturday everyone.

Quiety Loving Bose

Have you seen the Bose ads for their QuietComfort noise canceling headphones? I love them so much I could shout. Loud.

The design team that created them, Euro RSCG, is amazing. Read about the ads here.

Awesome Blossom

My collection of hair clips from Super Natural Flowers is growing like a weed.

This lovely green Gerber is my newest addition. That sweetie, Shannon, gave it to me.

You simply must check her Etsy Shop. It's bursting at the seams with loveliness.

Summer Longing, Peach Blueberry Pie

Dang, it has been a while since I posted. Flu season and November mayhem have got me longing for sunnier days. I'm looking at old pie photos and thinking of August heat. This series makes my mouth water.

It all started with the freshest farmer's market peaches and the loveliest blueberries...

... and it ended in oozing deliciousness.

The big pie contest is this weekend. Not sure which pie to make yet. Any suggestions?

Under the Weather

Feeling under the weather lately.

Live Vibrant

Meet the lovely ladies of Live Vibrant, Melissa (right) and Joan. They make the fabulous beaded jewelry they are both sporting in this photo. Their pieces remind me of the vintage plastic jewels I've collected over the years, but with a modern touch. Check out the Live Vibrant Etsy shop.
