The perfect pedestal dish. When I wasn’t busy using Cookie Tray in the kitchen it would be taking up residence in my bathroom, housing my jewelry baubles. {via swissmiss}
PS: Thanks for bearing with me – and everyone else using Blogger – yesterday while it was down. Feels good to be back in action.

Oh dear, severe case of shoe love right here. Darlingtonia Moccasin Company specializes in the manufacturing of specialized moccasins by hand. My favorite style is the Plain Jane, which I’m hoping to buy for fall and then wear the hell out of. {via paper n stitch}
I’d love for my home to be filled with interesting things. Guests would inquire about them and I would explain how I found so and so in the back corner of a little flea market, and this and this in a moldy box in my grandmother’s basement. But they’d really all be pieces from Labour and Wait.
It’s five o’clock somewhere. I’d like to sidle up to this martini bar that Sunday Suppers created for their Rustic Italian party.
{photo and recipe Chaos in the Kitchen}Sometimes the best things are the simple ones. For instance, tomato sandwiches.
In my mind they’re equated with my grandparents. I always spent summers with them as a kid. Using days to the fullest running around their huge yard, helping my grandmother hang laundry on lines outside, and assisting my grandfather in the garden.
Ah yes, the garden. We’d pick bell peppers, then sit on the back porch with nothing more than his pocket knife and a shaker of salt. The tomatoes were lucky to make it into the kitchen, where they’d be sliced thick and laid out on bread that had been toasted and slathered with mayonnaise and salt and pepper. Like I said… the simple things.

In the past day I’ve fallen in love with these Brass Screw Earrings, coming back again and again to ogle their brassy goodness. I’m guessing it’s most likely a sign that I need them in my life.
My birthday is five months away, but I’m hoping someone sends one of these beautiful diecut Constellation Birthday Cards when it does roll around. Pssst… Scorpio. I’d definitely be framing it.
