Did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? It seemed like this year there was more food than ever. Also, my boyfriend ate all of my Tofurkey. Usually, I have leftovers for a week. He’s not invited to the next one.
Here is some fun little tabletop eye candy from Jonathan Adler.
What do you think? Cute or what?
decorated sugar for Christmas
I came across these in a tea shop while searching for some Christmas gifts.
They’re sugars. How adorable.
They’re made from Sugars by Sharon.
She has all sorts of really great colors and designs. I’ve featured some Christmas ones, but she also has Valentine’s, wedding, baby shower, Easter, and Fourth of July. She also have a variety of beautiful flowers and sea shells.
I think this would make an affordable, luxurious gift for friends, especially tea and coffee enthusiasts.

These things are too cute.
They’re colorful and cheery and a little mischievous.
Have a good morning!

good buy: kmart breakfast nook
My good friend, Bryan, always takes me to weird places that I normally wouldn’t walk into. This week, it was Kmart. We found this gem and he’s buying it.
It’s quite darling for a plastic Kmart breakfast nook. I’m very happy he’s buying it. It’s much better than the Wal Mart table I bought a few years ago for the same price. Right, that’s the best part – we found it in store for $200. I can’t seem to find that price or this color online. But here’s one in white for the original price of $400, which I would not pay.
I know it’s not the most classy thing, but the truth is we’re poor and can’t afford great things yet. Crate & Barrel will have to wait.
What do you think about it?

hello dear readers,
You really want to be in my house right now. I have a simmer pot going and my house smells wonderful. Also, there’s peach cobbler bubbling in the oven waiting for my boyfriend.
Here are some fun d.i.y. crafts to get you through the weekend.

interruption of dismal days [etsy find]
hello dear readers,
I’m sorry for the hiatus. Has it been a rough week for everyone else? The weather is cycling in strange ups and downs between lovely and freezing. All of my friends seem to be having a very hard time with life right now. It can be overwhelming and heartbreaking to see so many of my loved ones miserable. Although I seem to be prospering where they are struggling, I’ve had my own set of frustrating setbacks, specifically, with this blog. I took my sewing machine to the repair shop, and the mechanic simply said buy a new machine. Needless to say, that’s not what I wanted to hear. And it’s becoming more apparent that my brand new camera has been stolen or hopelessly lost, which means no more pictures of my cute things I have made. However, after a week of moping, I think it’s time to get back in the swing of things. I have tomorrow off of work, and I hope to spend it curled up with a book [Jonathan Franzen's Freedom] and my adorable cats.

Check out these cool recreations of famous artwork. What are they recreated with? Veggies!
I love this napa cabbage background. It does look heavenly.
Birth of the Gingerman
What do you think makes up her clothing? It sort of looks gross. I’m betting collards. They’re one green I can’t stand.
Mona Tofu
Look at the detail in this one.

From far away, these leeks can totally be interpreted as brush strokes.

This is the same face I make when I’m forced to eat sweet potato. Yes, I hate sweet potato. Also, what is making up the blue background? Eggplant? Blueberries?

Once again, I’m amazed at how cheap etsy can be. All of these prints are under $10. Sorry for such a image heavy post. I couldn’t decide which ones to choose.
