Since moving here and getting a proper dressing table, I have wanted a filigree mirrored vanity tray. I was checking them out on Etsy last week when I gave up on some of the prices that people wanted and went over to eBay. I found one that had one hour left… I scored it for…
Excited much?
Just over 3 weeks until we leave for Europe and everything is ready to go bar putting in our planned outfits. We have had some really exciting trip developments that I cannot wait to share along the way. We’re talking once-in-a-lifetime status. As Bill would say, we’re totally jazzed.
Current Shellac
I love my current Shellac color – Iced Cappuccino. It is one of those colors that goes with everything and it reminds me a color that mum would wear – highly recommended!
Happy Friday night!
Friday night… woohoo. My favourite night of the week. Celebratory song of the night is courtesy of Debbie Gibson. Electric Youth was SO awesome. 🙂
Birthday weekend

Baking and a A Cook’s Companion
While we were on Atlantic Avenue, we stumbled upon an awesome cook supply store called A Cook’s Companion. This store is dangerous. We ended up leaving with a huge haul. Small baking loaf tins for mini loaves of bread, a replacement lemon press (these are the one that look like they belong in a tool…
Friday night in Brooklyn
Bill had I have been under the weather all week with a bug, but by the time it got to Friday I was seriously craving Fish and Chips. While we have been abstaining from meat, we have still been having fish on Friday. So with that, we made a night of it and checked out…
