    Hah! All of the pumpkins and gourds in my house have little teeth marks in them, too. I’ve decided they’re vegetables and it’s fine. 🙂

    I read a lot of blogs with “Five Things” or “Friday Favs” and the like, most I gloss over and maybe click a link. But your word strategery (necessary made up word) gets me every time! Love these posts!

    How fun are those old tip bills?!? Are you going to spend them or put them away for safekeeping?

    Ha! You know? I always seem to make a new purchase “happen”, when I need it. I completely dropped both a phone and a lens the very same week. I must’ve summoned the new purchased by “accidentally” dropping both of them! Cheers to new equipment! XO

    Even better than a Squam sewing pattern is to go to a Squam Art Workshop. Life altering.
