until a noise scared him away. i do hope he returns.

porch dreams

artist

if i could make one wish for this summer_ it would be to get one of these for my porch. I don't even care if it is slowly falling to pieces.. . i'd like it even more.

then just add a glass of sweet tea in a Ball jar. that's what dreams are made of... .

today was a fairytale

i had an epiphany of sorts today, as i was driving home and loving this song by taylor swift:

Today Was A Fairytale - Taylor...

i'm caught in my own little fairytale world.. Nah _ not meaning everything is full of fancy, carefree and wonderful. i'm far from that. but everything that i gravitate toward seems to be fitting of a disney fairytale. I think i never grew out of that.

i'm the one at work who wears flowers in her heart.

just bought a skirt half made of tulle [an adult version of a tutu], glitter eyeshadow is almost an every other day thing. butterflies, ladybugs and white twinkle lights capture my attention in heartbeat.

and if i could get away with wearing a tiara everyday i would. not cause i think i'm a princess. not at all. just cause, well.. . it makes me feel special. is that silly?

maybe.

but a little sparkle can cheer up even the dullest day.

can i join you in your House?

one of the reasons _ just one_ cause there are a whole lot _ why I LOVE House is the music.

embedded in the scenes of almost every episode is a song that tugs at your heart as much as the characters do. this was from last night. could have been a repeat. but i don't know the difference.

cause i just love House.

egg and bacon remix

can you ever go wrong with eggs?

and a side of risotto with feta and bacon

toss some black beans with capers and sun dried tomatoes on as well

getting to use leftovers {of risotto / bacon} makes this even easier

dinner done right

it's the small things.

i came home today to find two things on my stoop

::::: both of which i adore.

1: inside my mailbox slot was this.. Can you identify? My favorite store.. my favorite catalog. There are times when I receive it, i set it aside for another day.. purely just to delay the gratification. i have it waiting there for me, calling my name.

Click here: [this is what makes my heart race and my mind flutter with creativity.]

2:: I actually gasped when I saw this.. Remember now, those of us in New Jersey had two feet of snow Saturday. Look who's been hiding there all along.. .. It's a good thing I have a flash, I was scared I wouldn't be able to capture these little guys. Sooo very excited!!!?!?!?

The snow can't help but

wanna get in on the shot too.

Look at the bottom left corner.
