I got an email recently from Sara of Handmade News. Why? She wanted to ask me some questions for an upcoming feature on the site, Handmade News! Me?! Wow! The interview went live today, and I have to say that her questions were pretty fun to answer! It’s a really great site as well, especially for those who are indie artists and craftsmen. Be sure to check out the site when you finish reading the feature.

Thanks for featuring me Sara!

Late to the party.

It’s Polaroid week this week, and I am arriving late to the party. I wanted to play along, but couldn’t find any film locally (the only place I know of to get Polaroid film right now is online). I was also going to scan in some of our old Polaroids, but didn’t have the chance. However, I didn’t want to miss the fun all together, so I did one of my favorite things and took some “through the viewfinder photos”.  Of course, the viewfinder I photographed through was my Polaroid camera! Here are two favorites:

My gorgeous salt lamp (from Solay), with one of my favorite plant pots in the background (bling, bling!). And next, some fall apples on our table. The afternoon light coming in was just perfect!

Thanks to Jenny for posting about Polaroid week! I really can’t wait to play with my camera for real again.

Why I shouldn’t read emails.

I have a bit of a problem with emails. Most especially emails from groovy online shops offering all kinds of goodies. Usually I quickly delete them to avoid all temptation to buy things. Well I didn’t delete one today, one from the evil FredFlare.com (oh they are evil because they have so many cute things)! I mean, how could I resist the email subject line that said “30% OFF + a dancing kitten”? A dancing kitten made me open that email, and just as I thought! I found cuteness and temptation inside. Behold, Russian nesting doll measuring cups!!

Aren’t they awesome!? They are tempting me to part with $16.00… I mean really people! Russian nesting dolls (one of my favorite things), and for cooking (one of my other favorite things)! And don’t even get me started on the Hello Kitty flash drive and the nesting doll tape! I have a feeling that if I were wealthy, I could buy one of almost everything they offer. They have a blog too by the way, which I often have to avoid for fear of more temptation. LOL.
