Everything's a-bloomin'

I started a Flickr account- see it here - to make some of my pictures available to the public.

Maybe you'd like to use one of my spring flora pictures as a desktop pic like I am! (See screenshot below). If the downloadables aren't high-res enough for you, just email me and I'll send a bigger version.
(Some may have to be rotated to landscape also, depending on how you wanna use em.)





My desktop with all my sticky notes cleared off...





Side note: To open a Flickr account you have to open a Yahoo account now, cause they own Flickr. Well the choices of security questions you can attach to your account were like: Where was your honeymoon? Where did you meet your spouse? What's the name of your favorite nephew? What's the name of your oldest/youngest child?

I thought it was interesting because: I'm not married, I have no kids, and I also don't have nay nieces or nephews!

Wonder what Flickr considers their target demographic to be... Apparently not as young as what I would expect!

Cut n Paste

Spring, come back!

It's official, I haven't blogged in two weeks. But the weather has been soooo nice that I've been spending all my free time outdoors! And then today happened. One of my projects for the weekend was supposed to be the putting away of sweaters and winter things that for sure cannot be worn in warm weather... but Mother Nature had other plans. I woke up this morning to snow on the ground, sighhh. I am pretending not to notice and expect to see the sun back any day now.

I've been collecting bits of spring inspiration over the past few weeks and the dresses below are the result of some window shopping on Bluefly's spring dress extravaganza...





I'm not usually into animal prints, but this leopard one on the right seems subtle enough that I would make it work, the cut is adorable! Reminds me of a grown-up Pebbles Flintstone.

Spring, I eagerly await your return!

All images from Bluefly.
Dresses by Walter, Matty M, & 382.

Peeptoes, buckles and ties- oh my!

So even though the spring magazines came out a couple of weeks ago, I'm just getting around to viewing mine, eeps!

Something that jumped out at me and I had to comment about were these hybrid shoes I'm noticing. It's like booties and lace-up oxfords got together and had a baby.




I'm not sure how I feel about this.


(That sandal thing is a Tod's shoe, I scanned it from the magazine ad...)

Overheard in Shreveport

Scene: Mother and daughter shopping together, enter multi-stall public restroom... Mother finishes first, washes hands and stands waiting for daughter to emerge from her stall.

Mother: I think that will be a really cute gift for her, don't you?
Daughter from inside stall: [silence]
Mother: Yeah, it will. Hurry up grandma!
Daughter: Who are you talking to?
Mother: You!
Daughter: [long pause] I'm texting.
Mother: [sighs and leaves bathroom]
