blondies have more fun.

yummmmmmy - yum - yum!! if you do like to treat yourself to a brownie over a cup of warm milk then you might - excuse me, you will like (very much so) these cakie desserts. it's true what they say, blondies are what fairy tales are made of!

leveling all spoons.

hellllloo!! and yes, this is exactly how i would greet you at this particular time. wowee!! last day jitters and a big eventual moving to-do list i suppose. at least my weardrobe is almost packed and parceled. sorry for being a bit invisible around here this past week and a few days. if you miss me as much as i miss blogging in my bed, cup of tea warming my fingers in between sentences, then you might like to call in to the Spoonful zine shop. issue 7, about all things magic and of course happy is new to the shelf and my words fill its (or one of its) pages. uh-huh! i'm tickled pink. okie dokie enough nattering. let's have a wonderful weekend friendliest of friends. jessie x x

my favourite place.

nothing is nicer than being surrounded by your bits and belongings tucked away in your own secret space. it saddens me that in a little less than a week i will no longer come home to my bedroom with its pink streamer-like curtains and old rickety furniture balancing leaning books and ceramic critters. inspired by silly, joyful dreams Lucky Boy Sunday and their collection of softies and wooden wonders are at the top of my 'new room' wish list. this hanging pot is beary close behind, as are these pretty paper bowls sweet for housing trinkets. of course my 'new' towering bed will need 'new' shoes (pretty pegs) and it is always fun to play in overalls speckled in paint after a trip to Ikea. don't believe me? be sure to visit Emily over at The Sweet Beast. oh! and i will need a 'new' chair to place somewhere in the corner. sigh! there really is no place like home...

tonite the girlies and i are going for a bit of a boogie. we have the fever! perhaps a visit past Chinatown on the way home is in order?! it is after-all too easy to be lured by its bright lights and hide-and-seek lanes. plus, one of my dance partners is on an 'eat rice wrapped in seaweed and stuffed with cucumber' diet. when i say diet i really mean pursuit. Chinatown is a Go Go!! soy sauce and wasabi me please!

p.s. i made this

i think this kitty loafer DIY from clever kitten, p.s. i made this is simply the cat's meow! puffy paint + glue gun fun = the purrrfect excuse for a craft store excursion and a lets-do-craft cupboard restock.
