Friday, June 8

making me happy this week


1. Celebrating my third wedding anniversary. Third?
2. Using flowers from C to fill everything resembling a vase in my house.
3. Amy Sedaris's party dresses.
4. Writing and learning about friendly and inspirational Abby Clawson Low, who got in touch with me clear back here.
5. Not spending too much money at IKEA.
6. The cutest little photo in the mail of Sara's Rex Rudiger.
7. Last chance to wear favorite sweater, thanks to the rain.
8. Anita Calero's rugged-yet-refined home and all of Knitsquirrel's observations. (Just scroll down.)
9. This Air Stream trailer. Oh, how I wish. My western heart would love to wander in this beauty.
10. The cool, 1920's ease of wide leg pants.
11. Dafont.com. (Thanks, Jessica.)
12. Allison's beautiful and inventive new header. (It's interactive!)
13. Everything featured under "Summer Reading" at Kate Spade: Behind the Curtain. (Reading lists! Vintage covers! Downloads! Oh my!)
14. Friends who keep calling me, even when I'm terribly forgetful and don't call back.
15. Snoasis is up and running. (At the corner of Highland Drive and 7200 South in the Dan's parking lot. The best snow cone you'll ever lay tastebuds on, this side of Hawaii. Marta, when will you be back so we can be formally introduced to summer together?)
16. Remembering at the very last minute to sign up for the Favorite Things Swap. (Phew!)
17. (Added late) I think I just quit my job. Again. Am adding this to the list so I can truly try to consider it a happy occurrence that will lead to new adventures.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Great photo. I want to live in that airstream trailer. It's a lot cheaper than a house:)

I always look forward to your Friday lists. Congrats on your anniversary and on quitting your job! May many, many more wonderful days and adventures be headed your way!

(I'm also looking forward to trying out those snow cones. Are they the ones I've heard about with real ice cream in the bottom??)
