Swatch Lady Collection

I cannot get the tan/gray one out of my head!  So fun and springy.

Words to live by

I want to collect, not hoard.
I want to acquire, not buy.

I want to be frugal, mindful and reflective.

Mossiere

I am loving this pretty pretty jewelry from Mossiere!

(also she has a pretty cute blog too)
(also my birthday is march 6)

A royal wedding

My roommate and I may be the only ones, but is anyone else's moms completely obsessed with anything having to do with the British monarchy and their weddings?

Either way, I feel like lots of items made to commemorate events like this are extremely lacking in taste.  Case in point:

 

 

However, this tea towel commemorates the royal engagement in such a pretty way.  I love it!

Better get out your umbrellas, because...

It's raining cats!

Deadweight

I recently ordered some thank you cards from Deadweight, an etsy seller in Toronto.  She sells cards, prints, postcards and stationery.  I got a free postcard and triangle bunting streamer with my cards - what a nice surprise!  That's good business.  And I'll definitely be purchasing more from Deadweight in the future!

This weekend, it's off to Devils Den with Cody!  Hopefully we won't get lost in a cave.

It's finally here!

Snow days sometimes spur productivity.  Here's Cody's finished LA video from when we visited his brother and sister-in-law there over Thanksgiving.

I'm really glad he makes videos of the trips we take together. 

Next video: Devil's Den this weekend!

SNOW-M-G

Tulsa got a blizzard overnight.  14 inches - enough to close the office for the day - see, even Corporate America gets snow days sometimes!

Things Kate and I have done (so far):

Make spiced tea (orange cinnamon tea +  earl grey tea + cloves + cinnamon sticks + lemon slices)

Serve spiced tea with snow ice cream (snow + half and half + vanilla extract + sugar + nutmeg + agave drizzled on top)

Turn the spiced tea into a hot toddy (spiced tea + booze)

Paint nails

Crochet

Kate worked on her weaving

Sadie loves the snow

The end (as of 4:45pm).  This snow day is far from over.  And I have a closet that needs organizing!

9pm update:  didn't start the closet, but google video chatted with someone special.  3 miles is a short drive when the weather is nice :-/
