I’ve been waiting for Tim Burton’s remake of Alice in Wonderland for at least the past year, maybe longer. I’m not a die-hard fan of the original, but I am a big fan of Tim Burton and of course, Johnny Depp. And now we’ve all got just about a month left because on March 5th it hits theaters. Don’t you just love the tag line? We Are All Mad Here.
Yes, I know that’s February already, but the swell thing about the Ring Calendar by Sebastian Bergne is that it’s endless. Meaning use it for the rest of your days. Forever and ever amen.
Each perfume bottle in the Nasomatto line of perfumes is original and distinctive while remaining true to a certain formulative look. Choose from the scents of Duro, Narcotic Venus, Hindu Grass, Silver Musk, Absinth or China Wine. Each designed and perfected by Alessandro Gualtierri.
I’m the first to confess to my love/hate relationship with The Martha, but I also know when it’s time to man up and admit she and her staff have done something noteworthy. I’m completely smitten with this series of projects on how to make handmade jewelry and accessories. Here are a few standouts that I can’t wait to try my hand at…
A lady for whom people make assumptions about. Her vermilion lipstick is the only rebellion she allows herself. She reflects a stranger few, if any, truly cipher.
A woman in which nothing is insurmountable. She prays that her momma’s heart isn’t shattered by the news. On this stagnant summer evening, everything changes.
I’m really looking forward to joining in on the Blog It Forward mashup that Victoria of sfgirlbybay dreamed up over the weekend! Here’s the nitty gritty details of it all…
• We’re going to share a connected stream of blogger posts on ‘what inspires us the most’ on our individual blogs, but link back and forward to the other blogs participating, a bit like a chain letter (but, hopefully a lot less annoying!).
• Ez from creature comforts has graciously created this lovely badge to add to your blog if you are participating.
• Feel free to repost this on your own blog and tweet about it, then link back to this sfgirlbybay.com post URL or a link to Victoria’s email info, so people can get the details, how to participate, the theme, and how to contact her. We’re giving everyone a due date to sign-up via an email to Victoria by end of this week, Friday, February 5th.
• Victoria will then make a list of bloggers who want to participate (perhaps alphabetically) and post it on Monday, February 8th, and everyone will see when their post is due, and the order of the mashup. Then we will post one day at a time, starting with hers and moving on to the next blog, and then the next — you get the idea.
• Victoria will post the first mashup on Wednesday, February 10th and from there link to the next blog and that blogger will post on Thursday, February 11th. Then she’ll link back to Victoria and then to the next blog on the list who will post on Friday, February 12th and link back to her (we’ll skip weekends since they are slow) and so on and so forth.
• Again, if interested in joining in, drop Victoria an email and she’ll send you detailed instructions. So, are you in or are you out?
I’m a sucker for all white anything. Currently there’s a white wreath ‘o sticks on my front door from Christmas that I just can’t bear to take down. I’m thinking this felt flower winter wreath would be a good middle of the road for this living-in-winter-but-looking-forward-to-spring time of year. I love the pops of neon thread in a big way. And guess what? You can make your own.
