Cheesecake at your door sounds pretty perfect.
I was so happy when the sun came out yesterday-it made my week 🙂
Happy Weekend, Erin.
Cheesecake, tea, and antlers in a window, very nice week. I'm curious as to what you are studying… over the last couple months my guess was historic preservation? I don't remember that you ever said.
(Hi! I've been reading your blog for awhile– most of last year, but I don't think I've ever commented).
Your Friday posts always make me happy. Thanks for sharing : )
happy friday guys! s@sha, i study public humanities at brown…it's a program aimed at all things that help bring, well, the humanities to the public. i've been focusing a lot on the built environment, historic architecture (good guess!) and that sort of thing, but i'm also interested in the way that crafts are interpreted for public consumption..and on, and on! happy weekend.
Erin, this little window to your week is lovely. You find beauty in the smallest and most interesting things. I LOVE! xo
(wishing I would find a box of cheesecake on my doorstep today)
that cheesecake shot is hilar
I love the cheesecake too! Maybe we are all hungry?
i love this sneak peak into your week! lovely. couldn't agree more about the knot vs. staple thing if i tried.
I love the cheesecake at the door… how wonderful.
cheesecake! on your doorstep? genius. wish that would happen to me.
i'm getting some moose antlers from a friend next week. well alright!
An evening out to see a play with my family, it was full of so much joy.
just stumbled on your blog somehow… so lovely!
so lovely. i'm kind of amazed at your packages. they're just so neat and perfect and pretty. i'm terrible at mailing things.

Lovely pictures of a week's memories. I would love to find cheesecake packages at my door 🙂

That cheesecake reminds me of that episode of FRIENDS! Love it. And love that pic of the candles.
Cheesecake on a doorstep sounds like the best thing in the whole world. Ever. I would die if I came home to find cheesecake on MY doorstep! xx
Happy 2010! I just stumbled upon your virtual chronicle and absolutely love your world view.

I think we have the same favorite window at RISD. That looks like the Nature Lab window. One day I'd love to look around there, so much cool stuff. Hope you have a great weekend!
Someone is SO lucky that cheesecake didn't end up missing when they came home!
And YES on the knot — I hate staples in my tea bags.
i know a cheesecake on my doorstep would make me tooooo happy
cheese cake hmm sounds so yum right now. Loved the package picture:)

I can't believe that you posted a picture of that window at RISD on the same day that I took a tour of the nature lab…if you want a peek at what lies behind the window, I posted my pictures here: http://lavenderlimes.blogspot.com/2010/01/risd-tour.html
If you ever have a chance to visit…do it! You will be blown away!
your Friday posts I really look forward to!
This week a student left me a note on my laptop telling me how he felt about me as his drama teacher. I can tell you that there is nothing that makes me happier then a note left as a surprise. Esp. from teenagers. I have a board of them in my office and they just never cease to make my entire day. Your photos capture these pleasantries. Now I only wish I could find a cheesecake on my laptop!
everything that you post gives me great feelings…love love love your pics
Am in love with this blog it's so witty and whimsical! it’s like entering a fairy tale world! I think I smell the cheesecake hahaha! am a follower how could I not your blog is amazing thanks for the inspiration!

wish that cheesecake had been waiting on my doorstep!
love that you rescued your little hankie from the rags…….such a good thing!
happy weekend!

Your week in objects always make me smile. I love how you find the beauty in the simplest things. I know exactly how you feel about shipping off books and getting new ones. The cheesecake is my absolute favourite! Wouldn't that be a lovely surprise? I agree. Knots are so much nicer than staples.
These are all lovely, Erin. I love them all – and the little stories behind each one.
xo,

Knots are so much better than staples.
Visiting a goat farm in Pescadero and then going home with fresh ricotta ravioli really helped make my week. It was so tasty!
