I ran away to the mall a couple days ago. Everything was coming at me from every direction and I was in need of some retail therapy. Problem is, I have neither time nor money at the moment. Then I somehow silenced the nagging “you don’t have time for this…” long enough to find myself at a part of the mall populated by baby stores.
I’ve been trying very hard to avoid spending my money on baby stuff. I know the time will come when I have no choice, but now is not the time. We’re moving and we’re broke. If I’m going to spend any money I need to spend it on things we really need, like a stroller or diapers or one of those blue bulb thingies you shove up the baby’s nose to get the snot out.
This is not the kind of thing I need to be spending my money on:
I don’t believe I’ve mentioned this before, but I collect teapots – but a $79 teapot lamp… It took my breath away. I stopped to take a picture of it in the store and I don’t do that. I just sat there and looked at it for quite a while. It’s so impractical. But I love it.
Finally I tore myself away and poked around a little longer until I found the one thing that there was no way I would be able to leave the store without.
My mother dressed me in this sweater when I was an infant. Once I grew out of it, she packed it away and saved it for me. It’s been 38 years and I can hardly wait to dress my daughter in this sweater. 18 more weeks to go.
When I watched WALL-E last week, Mr. H was not with me. I spent the entire movie wishing that he was there because I just wanted to hold his hand.
When I saw this robots in love pendant, I just couldn’t resist. While they are nothing like the main characters in the movie, these robots convey the same sense of innocence and comfort in each other, and I find it quite endearing.
These pillows are just too cool. This set of two pillows illustrates a crow attacking a squirrel in an urban setting with wool felt applique over vintage upholstery fabric. I just love the goodies I can find on etsy. _________________________________________
I will be posting more information on my friend Janece from noordinarymoment.com later this week, but for the moment, stop by her etsy shop and check out her gorgeous paintings.
