lovely things

I love, love, love this rocking chair!

And I also need a yarn swift, I love my current one, but he'd rather be sitting on the couch.

And a new cookbook just came out! Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar! We want it!!!

Satya Jewelry make beautiful yoga inspired pieces like the compassion pendant necklace, which has my birthstone, 2 lotuses and is that warm gold color that is missing from my necklace collection. (Mom- they also have fancy Malas)

Etsy is still amazing, but with all the new sellers, it has become more difficult to search through. This hemp handbag with Queen Anne's Lace silk screened on it from Uzura is darling!

Buying hand spun yarn still has a certain thrill to it for me, it happens so rarely! Eatlllager she sells sea shells yarn is so beautiful and yarn like this does not come easy!

Some of my favorite jewerly is from Banana Republic, no it does not last forever, but it's cute and hip and if you lose it, no biggie. The Pansy brooch is perfect for spring and would look super cute on a hand knit hat, sweater or scarf!

I almost have a complete collection of Rodney Yee Yoga dvds, Strength is one I do not have. I like to do a different routine everyday and can really notice the difference.

After seeing The Boss preform at the Superbowl, I've been thinking about his new cd, Working on a Dream, appropriately titled for my life.

short list...

Martha's Vinyard Fiber Farm
The Chalice and the Blade and Sacred Pleasure
Yarn Ball Winder (What is the best kind? Besides Topher)
Twinkle Yarn and buttons (I want to start knitting a Wenlan pattern soon.)
preloved sweaters (One of those, why did I not think of that? ideas. I have one and want to wear it constantly, so yes I want more!)
Pacifica Mexican Cocoa Soy Candles (I was at Capers last night for the Steal This Party party and smelled these, they are mellow and not perfumy at all.)

And a few more books:
Dreams from My Father

Motivator!

The end of the school year is near...the dean of students decided that we all needed a personal motivator to make it through the end. I was a little at a loss when I heard this plan...we are all really tired! Then I found out that my person likes to cook! We have so many herbs and other plants taking over our porch and many a cookbook. I decided to give them a gift that will keep on giving. I stamped the herb names on clothespins and added the ribbon, because I am reusing the pots and my boyfriend had written the names of the previous occupants in Sharpie on the pots. It gives it a classy look, when this project took me about 3o minutes. Now on to the recipe cards...
