You know it’s time for new pair of wellies (a Seattle essential) when pansies start sprouting from them!
We needed a little punch of color and touch of whimsy.
Finally, a re-purposing for my kids many pairs of well-loved Peter Beaton wellies–the only ones they wear.
“Leave a path worth following” As the boots say…
I, like many of you have been poking around Pinterest. Wow, these emerging (not that Pinterest is brand new, but you know what I mean) technologies just keep coming, don’t they? I am on there, so it would be great if you wanted to follow me and check some of the boards I started. I’ll follow you too…though am figuring this all out a bit slowly.
Anyhoo, even though I pinned away for hours. This is one of my favorite images.
Audray Hepburn by Cecil Beaton 1968. I love when an image resonates likes this and you’re not even sure quite why. Maybe even that’s enough or that’s the really beautiful part of it.
Next tech to investigate, Tumblr. Anyone interested in filling the position of tech. liaison for LW7? We are currently taking applications. I sense some new functionality and design coming down the pike. After all, we are turning 2 in a few days, woo hoo!
Happy Hump Day.
A box full of C Wonder assorted goodies arrived at my doorstep right before Christmas and I boy did I do a little happy jig right int the middle of my living room. I flip for all things from this place.
Once the dust of Christmas settles, just as I tell my kids–“now is the time to actually play with your toys.” I needed to take my own advice.
First up, a heart shaped waffle maker accompanied by some Dancing Deer Baking Co. Waffle and Pancake mix to make it easy peasy.
“Waffles that say I love you.” C Wonder’s packaging is half the fun.
A lazy weekend winter morning is the perfect time to whop up your waffles. The mix that comes with this package, requires a little more than water, only eggs and butter.
Into the cutie griddle press the mix goes–and a few short seconds later–voila!
And just look how sweet the plated final product looks. We even considered for a moment making heart shaped butter pats…ahhhh. Perhaps a bit much?
Valentine’s Day is only 37 days away you know?
Next up…yummy heather gray travel blanket and sleeping mask.
No doubt about it, the holidays are exhausting. Wintertime naps are irresistible.
You need just the right cozy throw and sleeping mask for a deliciously deep sleep.
Oh peekaboo! Can’t wait to stash this handy little travel set in my bag for an upcoming trip.
Speaking of trips, this “C” monogrammed cosmetic case rocks, don’t you think? Fits everything even my flat iron, bu-yah!
And finally, all good girls and boys know how important it is to put pen to paper and write an actual note–thank you notes, a must, though I’m the first to admit I may have missed a few over the years. Oops, vow to be better in the New Year.
That sentiment says it perfectly doesn’t it? It’s Been Too Long. With some of you it has, been too long that is, but act surprised when you get this, ok?
Hope you’re finding time to play with your toys too.
Shoe Update: I finally found a pair of shoes that don’t piss me off, er excuse the language, I meant to say, “that fit and don’t look stupid.” Cute right?
Sure they’re rather Forest Gumpish, but retro in a good way, no?? I do declare I’m going to try to find this exact pair in a rainbow array.
They beat the hell (boy, I’m in such a swearing mood, huh?) I mean heck out of my ugly Brooks and other shoes that even my friend’s kids are calling me out on. I was getting dangerously close to shopping the old lady dept. of the shoe store.
“Life is like a box of Nike’s…never know what you’re going to get”
almost, that is–through a looooong first week back.
Here’s to a little reward, a little indulgence (just a taste, you don’t have to go crazy, that was soooo last year/month) and an excellent first weekend of the new year!
Welcome to my p.o.v. of how to live a life well. Under the construct of 7 areas that I feel passionately about: Fashion, Fun, Food, Family, Friends, Philanthropy (aware not an f, but close enough) and Furnishing. Yes, quite the array I know. I bring you Living Well 7; Don't Wait-Enjoy Life!
