happy spring



this posey pin makes me smile and think of all the warm days ahead! found this treasure in the j.crew catalog {from the crewcuts line for children} won't it look adorable pinned on sweaters, jackets and dresses?

labels

i woke this morning with the intentions of checking in on the neighbors' cat, walking to starbucks, making popovers and spending the rest of the day reading (of course 'the other boleyn girl' - still have not finished it. about 400 pages from the end. UGH.)

sunday accomplishments as of yet:
  • checked in on wee won - hiding outside beneath the covered patio furniture. lured her inside so she would be protected from the fierce wind & chill in the air.
  • walked to starbucks - tried the new honey latte [grande soy/no whipped cream] - yummy! espresso & honey - who would have guessed it to be so tasty!!
  • made popovers in my new popover pan. TASTY! {served warm with strawberry butter}
  • emailed friends & family
  • searched the internet for ideas for fabric labels for my "designs"

so no i have not yet cracked open the cover to 'tobg.' i have spent the afternoon obsessing about label designs. what type of fabric, what color, how large/small, graphic, font, blah, blah, blah.

i have decided that i want something simple and would like to incorporate a graphic. AND most importantly - what name i want printed on the label. i like a combination of letterpress and typewriter style. i have not yet created anything to sew the labels on. guess i need to work on that before becoming concerned about labels. . .
