making me happy this week

{Photo by Dalobee}

1. This sweet, real-life telegram.
2. Photos of ferris wheels.
a. This one.
b. This one.
c. This one.
d. And this one.
3. Kate Spade movies. (Who knew?)
4. Alvin Ailey troupe on Oprah.
5. Best episode of "Lost" yet. I can't wrap my head around this show, but I love it.
6. "So You Think You Can Dance" starts in just 13 days; a Utahn had better be on the show.
7. Learning how/where to download free music legally, and a little at a time.
8. Late nights with old friends and the softest, tastiest homemade cake by Marta.
9. Two words: Daniel's gyoza.
10. The arrival of Allison and David's little Violet.
11. I am obsessed with this photo and this photo--both a little unusual and artsy.

Hoping everyone has a lovely weekend.

Hi hi hi Josette! So fun to hear from you! I love another "So You Think" fan, and hear from an old friend.

ali, it was so so good to chat with you at the party. it's one thing to slip into your mind every morning, but to see you in person is wonderfully refreshing!! you are a dear. i'm glad you enjoyed the gyoza & cake. must do it again, soon.

ps. those flickr photos are fabulous.
