My friends (who are from India) called to say they were cleaning out their closets and wondered if I would maybe be interested in some of the pieces to use for the fabric...some? Who me? You mean all that starched linen, beautiful soft cotton, super silkiest of all silks?
cloth with all that gorgeous trim
intricate hand stitching
dazzling beadwok
and lovely details in even the plainest of house dresses?
Why yes, thank you. I'd be happy to take it ALL off your hands. So they brought over two plastic garbage bags full. I'm having so much fun and have only been through about one quarter of what they dropped off. I'm sure I'll be playing with this all weekend.
So, anyone watching the Oscars this weekend? This will probably be my third year in a row that I have not yet seen one nominated film. Maybe I'll entertain myself with Oscar Bingo by How About Orange. And to get in the spirit of things, I may just have to whip up a batch of Oscar cookies.
While in the middle of writing this post, Julen woke up and the mailman came. Look what Amy sent me.
How adorable! And sweet! I can't even say how much I love this little guy, because he just truly brightened my day. Thanks Amy!
This beautiful video was sent by one of my mom's at the preschool and is a must see for any mother. It's lovely to watch and brings me to tears everytime I see it.
And since I can't figure out how to embed it, I'll just leave you with the link.
Happy weekend! xx
