as I mentioned yesterday, I ended up not going with the Birks. I’m not saying that I’ll never buy a pair and I’m definitely not saying that I didn’t think they were cute. maybe someday. for now, I’ll admire them from afar.
I did buy a new pair of sandals though. some strapy, woven, buckleicious sandals. in black of course. I can’t wait to wear them with breezy tunics, khaki shorts and cropped jeans.

these would make the cutest ornaments. they sort of remind me of the ornaments I created as a kid out of clothespins, fabric, yarn, and a marker.

favorite things swap.
here’s a glimpse of what I’m sending my swap partner for the Favorite Things Swap. Heather will receive my belated package soon!
waves
today I will… be productive.
tomorrow I will… play.
I love it when… the sun starts to come out shortly after a good rain and causes the water droplets on the grass to sparkle.
I hate it when… time gets away from me.
I have… the the best oatmeal cooker in the world.
I haven’t… ever lived outside of Florida.
I can… say the 50 states in alphabetical order.
I can’t… believe I move in a month and 18 days.
I’m happy when… I’m being creative.
I’m sad when… I have to spend a gorgeous day indoors.
I love eating… sushi or tapas.
I hate eating… green peas and cauliflower.
I’m glad that… I am who I am.
I’m disappointed that… there isn’t more time in one day.

received!
this is what I sent my swap partner, Emily. she received her package on Friday. thanks for the sweet commentary on the package, Emily! I’m so glad you liked it. I loved her description of the mini seasonal pocket journals. she calls them, “pint-sized, perfectly practical, pocket journals”. she plans to use them to write special things that happen each spring, summer, fall, or winter. how cute!
I can’t wait to get mine…I’m sure it’s lovely!
