For the past couple of months I’ve been drooling over the Helen Ficalora intial charms at Trocadero. I’d love to wear the “P” charm in gold on a 16 inch chain.
But my latest obsession is Albeit‘s alphabet necklace, which I discovered via Oh Joy!
How gorgeous is that? At $310 a pop for a 14K gold cable chain necklace and pendant, it would be a piece I’d wear everyday.
Lately, I’ve been taking a lot of naps. I love napping. Curling up on the couch with a book or magazine, cozy under a warm blanket, while the air conditioner blows a cool breeze, is my idea of total relaxation. Eventually my eyes will start to get heavy, and I’ll lose my place in what I’m reading as I drift off into blissful sleep.
While it’s hard for nine-to-fivers to take a cat, erm, dog nap during the days, weekend naps can be just as restorative. Do you take advantage of napping in your spare time?
Spotted at the Costco gas station in Omaha, NE. True story.
Every summer, fresh vegetables, flowers, meat and crafts can be found at the Old Market and Village Pointe farmer’s markets on Saturday mornings. It took two years, but I finally made it to a market this past weekend. While J and our friends sampled cheese at various booths, I was camera happy with our new point and shoot. The Village Pointe market took less than 30 minutes to walk through, and we bought squash and zucchini, a beefsteak tomato and two lamb steaks. Can’t you just imagine what kind of deliciousness J will prepare with these ingredients? (I say J, of course, because anybody who knows me knows that I don’t/can’t cook.)
10 AM on a Saturday. Our best guess? A postal service heist.
Earlier this Spring, there were beautiful tulips. Now we have white and pink and yellow flowers blooming in front of our house. I love how they seemed to have appeared out of nowhere so late in the season.
