Some things that kept me smiling this long weekend

1.  Delicious, fresh snacks.  Sharp Canadian white cheddar and gala apples.


2. This nook on my book shelf.  Origami cranes for a project, slightly forgotten.  I have too many projects in my head.  How does one empty them all out without collasping for air?


3.  The beginning of a care parcel for a friend.  Heartfelt Teabags (pumkin chai, buttered rum, and geisha plum.  All from Davids).  It's fun stitching them and smelling the tea.  Found the inspiration here.


4.  EEEEE!!!!  My new plaything, a kobo eReader.  Gosh, I am so, so, so glad I got it.  I'm still figuring her out (she's lilac on the back, so she) and she's half way done processing some new books.


Teddy likes her quite a bit.  Fast friends. 

Now....to distract him with some honey so I may read.

We've been getting warmer bouts of weather here in the city now.  It's February, she's such a tease.  I miss blowing bubbles, the sweet smell of cut grass, and finding snails in the backyard.

p.s.  My little brother is such a cutie. ^_~

There is a comforting thought that always occurs to me when I find myself on Flickr or a blog I follow and find the sweetest spot photographed from someone elses apartment - "I will have something like that soon". 

Everything has been inspiring me!  From beautiful book nooks to shelves of tea and their beautiful contents.  I hope I can find a great apartment here in Toronto with enough light to grow my own herbs in the summer.  Until then, I shall keep dreaming and scheming.
