I hope we have sunshine by the weekend.

These colors remind me of peacock feathers.

My Aunt sent my sister and I these cards for the New Year. They only just got here because they were rerouted back to England then back to California again. She didn't include the stories but I can make up my own. I always love getting her artwork and long, typed letters, usually with an extra enclosure like an old postcard from someone in the family from decades ago.

Stopped in a thrift shop today and found a few goodies. I've been obsessed with 70's florals lately and saw this English trivet in perfect condition and had to get it.



I saw these crocheted glass covers/coasters for 75 cents each. I got them for my mom, hoping she would have something to put them over and use as a little vase in her bathroom or on a bedside table. Sure enough, she has several school milk bottles that came from an old factory and have never been used. They fit perfectly. They had a couple more of these in not such pretty colors I might need to go back for.

I bought this book after seeing this retrospective of Mariska Karasz's work at the Georgia Museum of Art a few years ago. She was a clothing designer, textile artist and author originally from Hungry but spent her adult life in the U.S. Glad to see she is well loved.

Hungry little chicks? Easter brunch and chocolates on Sunday.

Forget-me-nots are everywhere. How could you not love these happy little flowers?
