2. this kindle.

    I clicked the Twelve Quilts link hoping Pamela Wiley would be included and I’m happy to see she is. I had the pleasure of viewing several of her quilts in an exhibit last year and they blew me away. I wish I could see these in person as well! The detail in quilting is so beautiful and fascinating.

    I do all that to my lilacs, and the *still* only last three days, max!

    Oh Lordy, leather handbags, my kryptonite… should not have clicked that link… can you comfortably wear that tote over your shoulder, Erin?

      Yes, totally! I don’t think this exact model is online anymore, but you can still find them in store. That being said, I think the handle length is the same on the new totes. (I prefer my totes to fit a little bit on the snug side. It’s not all up in my armpit or anything, but it’s a closer fit than other totes!)

    In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines
    Lived twelve little girls in 2 straight lines…

    My daughter (and me, too) just loved the Madeline books!
    Your little girl is just a sweetie….enjoy it they grow so fast!

    Hellooo from the Wally people! We’re chuffed (to bits, actually) to see Wally make an appearance in your objects this week 🙂 Your dad sounds adorable, btw. All the best, keep up the simple work! xo Distil Union

    Love Judy Blume! Her “Wifey” book made my blog’s reading list as the first book suggestion to read and “Summer Sisters” is the book pick for June. She just writes in a way that keeps my attention. I’m glad to see someone mention her, too.

    The contest “facebook” entry is not working. I would love that dress.

    Your pictures are so cozy, that they made me feel at home. I love the flowers and the French book you are reading looks just adorable!

      We got it at a little foreign language bookstore in our neighborhood called Idlewild!
