Apparently SOME of you were disappointed that yesterday’s post was not really about Batman {or Robin for that matter}.
Well, I’m nothing if not accommodating. So I set out to discover a treasure of Gotham City porportions.
I ended up with this …
{Batman Robird Scrabble Tile pendant from Backbone Studio2's Etsy store}
No, no it’s not Batman. Yet again, I come up short. BUT IT IS BATMAN ROBIRD PEOPLE! I’ve got to get some credit for that … I mean really!
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for fall. So, it would seem, are retail stores. Chunky sweaters of muted tones are beginning to creep their way in amongst tank tops awash with color. It’s a beautiful thing. If only the temps would simmer down. But alas, it’s suppose to reach 98 degrees today. Sigh.
Guess there’s only one thing to do: shop for Autumn-ready shoes.
Shoes like these from Ruche …
{Pink Studio Bellina Mary Janes from Ruche}
They’re playful and elegant all in one.
Or, perhaps these from ModCloth …
{Dessert Course Heel from ModCloth}
Fallish hues wrapped in a sophisticated heel–what’s not to love? Of course, the fact that they’re described as a confection … caramel … milk chocolate … dark cocoa … sugary nougat … makes them all the sweeter.
Now that’s good marketing … for someone. After all, I may not be able to afford the shoe, but I’m sure I can swing a candy bar or two!
As of late I’ve noticed a disturbing trend–my “To do” list has taken on a life of its own. Sure, it may have started out innocent enough. But one thing led to another, and before I knew it, it had grown to twice my size. Now I’m forced forced to eat a box of Twinkies just to work up the strength to THINK about it.
If you’ve ever been there, don’t fret; for BEHOLD–your answer …
{baby steps, my friends, baby steps}
That’s right, Chronicle Books has published a notebook of ”mini goals.” Simply choose the design that best fits your needs and fill it in…
{look at me go!}
See? I feel better already. And if you don’t meet your goals? Well, that’s okay too. It’s like a Project Manager and Therapist all rolled into one.
So what are you waiting for? There’s no time like the present to look that list of to-dos in the eyes and whittle away … one little goal at a time.
And not to add undue alarm or anything, but we are nearing the middle of August; which can mean but one thing: Christmas will be here before we know it. Your friend who’s always jotting lists, the eternal procrastinator, your best girl who could use a laugh? This would make a perfect gift! So buy one for you, one for them, and you’ll be ahead of the game … if you can even imagine …
Now, for my disclaimer: I did receive this notebook courtesy of Chronicle Books and Miss B., of The Blah. So first things first: Thank You!
Now I realized, before it ever arrived, that I would jot a wee post if it was cute; if it wasn’t all that, it would get squadoosh. As you might have guessed, it really is a fabulous little notebook. Which, I imagine, is precisely the reason they agreed to give a few away.
Be still my beating heart. I was perusing Etsy the other day when I happened upon this …
- {visit CircaCeramics’ Etsy shop}
Can you even stand it?! It combines three of my favorite things: vintage bicylces, serving bowls, and the color orange. {sigh} As if that weren’t enough, it’s also food, microwave, and dishwasher safe.
That’s a whole lot of fabulous, my friends, a whole lot of fabulous!
If you’re a reader of One Sydney Road, you no doubt happened upon this…
{visit Starbee's Store on Etsy for more fun}
For the rest of you, I’ve put all pride aside to be an uabashed copy-cat. But really, can you blame me? That label is fun for the whole family. Not to mention, it’s like giving two gifts at once. Just think … give your friend jam, adorned with these labels, and she’ll sit there chortling, as munches the sweet goodness of your prize-winning confection, all the while wondering if your cleverness knows no bounds.
And the answer, dear readers? The answer is no, no it does not …
