crush crush:
1> polaroid postcards from maditi photography, how absolutely perfect! did i hesitate to pick some up for future correspondence and their total framability? not one second. snatch yours up here.
2> oh be still my heart. just one of these delicate stackable bangle rings by van craeynest takes six days to create, and on top of that, jewelers aren’t even allowed to make them until they apprentice for eleven years. i love wearing gold and i have to say that there is no other bands i would find more exquisite, filled with such detail, old world charm, and just completely me. if money was no object…a girl can dream, no?
3> a suitcase full of summer frocks needs something warm to wear all of a sudden! it’s been raining non-stop and that kind of weather calls for some shopping. enter lemon & company, a uruguayan boutique that can do no wrong. i walk in, find just what i’m looking for and i’m set for autumn.
4> audio books. i’m late in this trend, i know. i resisted. i was a snob. i liked the weight of a book in my bag and hands, the scent of old pages in my grasp. but one listen while out walking and i was hooked for hours! now i can multi task like never before, educating myself while washing the dishes and hanging laundry.
5> those blingo winnings sure have been stacking up gift certificates over at amazon. what does a girl do who can only take home so much stuff? order some scented candles of course! i love archipelago botanicals tins that are easy for travel and smell so divine, burning them on a ledge in my wardrobe makes all my personal effects and shoes smell like dessert. (try the ‘madagascar,’ trust me!)
Thank you for remind about audio books , I used to get them from my local library …
It was a good idea , I’m wanting to get some tiltles now
fabulous links!! so happy you have a crush on my postcards :)
you present all these treasures in such a fresh way Jenny
ps I’ll take 2 orders of #2 one set for each hand :o)
super delicious links!
Audio books… yes yes yes! I snubbed them for way tooo long.
I have 3 on my iPod currently, “A Brief History Of Time”,
“Zen and the Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance”, “Frankenstein”.
Laundry, jogging, driving, creating.. so many things to do
and “reading” all the while.
So so so so very much so recommend “Frankenstein”.
it is so beautiful and sad. A really wonderful book but,
keep a tissue handy.
XOXOXO
Hi Jenny!
If you want to download/listen to some really great stories off the web go to the radio (now also Showtime) show This American Life at http://www.thislife.org. Each episode has a theme and several stories related to it. They are captivating with great little bits of music woven in. I highly recommend it! Enjoy! Beautiful entries as usual….
