2.13.12

The week in review:

February 6 – J is for Jars

February 7 – H is for Hankies

February 8 – L is for Letters

February 9 – Y is for Yo-Yo's

February 10 – I is for Ikea

Unfortunately there are no pictures for February 11 or 12. On Saturday I got a call from my son that his car had been stolen. That kind of takes the starch out of you. The car was recovered about 10 miles from his apartment, minus the wheels and tires and a tank of gas. Somehow during all the excitement I neglected to take pictures.

I know most of these but a few surprised me. I do admit to mispronouncing mauve
One of the prettier uses of old typewriter keys that I've seen
For font geeks. I love Jessica Hische's work. And I particularly covet the Brioche font
I saw this paper plate flower installation on Pinterest and looked in vain for a tutuorial. I may have to come up with one myself…
Valentine's Day is coming up – get your sweetheart a sweetheart brooch. Like this lovely one. Or this one (love the forget-me-nots). Or this one.
Edited to add: WHAT?!! Yay!!!!

Sorry to be missing in action. Just a busier than usual work week.

We are having houseguests this weekend and then early on Sunday we are headed off to the Sacramento Antique Faire.

Have a splendid weekend everyone!

In time for St. Patrick's Day – delicate four leaf clover necklace
Love the typography, the message and the self-fulfilling prophecy you'll have by ordering it (okay that is a slight mis-use of the term but you know what I mean)
For my fellow Downton Abbey fans – check out how the actors look in real life (O'Brien! You hottie!) and just for fun take a survey to see which Character you are most like (I think it is is flawed though – it pegged me as the Dowager Countess when surely I am more like the gentle and kind Anna)
You know I find stop motion videos utterly delightful – here is a lovely one: Her Morning Elegance

Friday – my favorite day of the week with the promise of the weekend stretching before me. No plans really. I think there is some big football game happening where I am required to bring snacks. Actually we turn it into a tapas party which, to me, is the only way to make it tolerable.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone! I have to rush off to take a photograph while the light is right in my garage….

2.1.12

As I mentioned yesterday I have signed up for an online photography class offered by Besotted Brand Blog.

The session is to take a photo a day for the month of February using the alphabet as our inspiration. We were also encouraged to pick a theme if that would help with our focus.

I decided on the theme "Collections" and since it isn't necessary to go in the order of the alphabet I started of with the letter B for my collection of brushes.

I'll continue to post the week's photos on Sundays but I wanted to give you a sneak peak. I'm also abandoning the date stamp I was using in January. I wish I hadn't started that.

Normally I just take three or four shots of something but this morning I took almost 40 of that can of brushes!
