Just got the new Elle and am quite pleased by Drew Barrymore on the cover and the editorial inside. {When I was a little girl, she looked exactly like my sister, so I have extra love for Drew}
Just gorgeous.

I was never a huge fan of this Tokujin Yoshioko chair when it first came out. I thought “cool, but not me”, but now the line has been expanded to include chairs in colors other than white. So, now I drool every time I see, think, or {fill in blank} this chair… and then I remember how much it costs. {WTF?!! $9,998 for that?)
I especially love it in blush {ahem}, in case someone wanted to gift it to me. Until then, I’ve found some cheaper alternatives to incorporate floral texture into your seating areas.

I’m not quite sure if the animal in this drawing is meant to be a fox or a cat, but it just reminded me of The Little Prince.
“I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you’ll sit a little closer to me, every day…” – The Fox in “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I am very much the fox.

I want to see cherry blossoms. Right. This. Moment. I mean now. Ughhhhh why can’t Florida have a spring full of flowers? Last year, I loved the pictures of the blossoms so much that less than a week later Munchkin and Mommy {that would be me, folks} were on a plane to D.C. with a reservation at the Mandarin. Oh well, next year!
*Just a note, if you ever go to see the blossoms check out if there are any deals at the Mandarin. The hotel is closest to the mecca of the blossoms. Hotels in Washington D.C. can be stupidly expensive, but I scored the 5 star Mandarin for the same price as 3 and 4 star hotels that were located closer to the White House and museums.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if things like this happened more often?
This brought me such sheer joy that I actually had tears in my eyes. It’s random acts like these that bring the biggest smile to my face, and I’m guessing to yours, too. If this performance had been expected, it would not have had the same effect on the audience or the performers. The same applies to the beautiful and kind things we do. When we suprise someone, truly at random, it brings us greater joy, too. So, perhaps you will perform a little random act of kindness and beauty? {If you do, please e-mail me or post it!}
{I want. I must have. Give to me!}
How on earth could anyone have a bad morning with these waffles? Currently only available in Australia and New Zealand, however you can order them online and ship to the US. More cuteness and a receip here. Happy Woddling!
