The Saturday Six

This post by KariAnne nearly made me jump for joy. This little house she just purchased is not only too cute, but the post shows the potential she sees in its walls and that just makes me happy. Can't wait to read how she transforms it into...whatever she's transforming it into!!

Last weekend we went to my friend Rachel's wedding, and this is what we threw at the bride and groom as they left. Forget bubbles and rice and ribbons and sparklers. Rachel is a literary lover and the groom, Jordan, has his pilot's license. So we threw paper airplanes made from the pages of a book. Perfection.

My best friend gave me this wall art for my birthday. I cried when I opened it because I love the message (written by Holley Gerth). The art itself is by Dee Kasberger at Red Letter Words. I've interviewed both Dee and Holley and LOVE these women and their hearts. To have their combined work in my house - especially this message - as a gift from someone who has walked with me for a long time - is priceless.

We follow The Honest Toddler on Twitter at work. I'm not a mom, but MAN do I think that's one hilarious Twitter feed. What toddlers must think of adults = pure comedy. Let me give you a sampling of a string of tweets from earlier this week. It started with, "Just tried dark chocolate. Adults, is it safe to say you've forgotten what candy is supposed to taste like?" Then... "Not sure why you'd eat dark chocolate when Kit Kats are available in stores nationwide." Followed by... "You're just trying to impress your friends and look deep." And..."Dark chocolate is good for you. No doubt. You can taste the vitamins." HI-larious. If you're on Twitter, you should follow The Honest Toddler and be prepared to giggle at truth.

I realize it's ridiculous to love anything associated with laundry this much but I adore my clothes drying rack. We registered for it at Target and didn't get it, so we bought it with a gift card after the reception. We'd planned to get one of the regular, accordion style racks, but I found this one and liked it better because things can lay flat AND hang up on it. Great. When did laundry start to excite me?

Saw this video on Emily A Clark's blog this week. It's an artist creating a watercolor painting of Emily's house. Being a person who possesses no artistic talent, I found this fascinating. {Three minute, high speed video of the creation of the painting.} Well done, Artist Michelle!
