five fun things #3
A few more things I’d like to share:
-
Small Magazine
I tend to swoon over adorable, high-end childrens magazines. This one is free and on the internet, so I don’t have to feel weird about paying money for a magazine about something I don’t have (yet).
And really, I would wear every last outfit in there if they made it adult sizes. There is some gorgeous, swoon-worthy stuff. Check it out.
-
Pumpkin Recipes
It’s a pumpkiny season, and there is a bumper crop of squashes out there to be scooped up at discounted prices, so a New York Times collection of pumpkin based recipes is pretty timely. Plus, pumpkins are delicous.
-
Ombre Crafts
Ombre is pretty. Crafts are fun. These pretty and fun ombre crafts live in that unique Martha Stewart universe where crafty projects end up looking high end, and elegant. You know, as opposed our own dimension where the words “Crafty” and “Elegant” are often mutually exclusive.
-
Typocalypse
Diagnose your font use. Figure out what your typography choices say about you (I like to dance on the ceiling, it turns out).
- the candi factory
Karen over at Say It With Pie has long sung the praises of these hand made, artisinal undies. They went on sale, so I finally broke down and bought a set - a days of the weeks set, to be specific - because who doesn’t love an adorable days of the weeks set of underwear? And they’re typographic underwear, no less! Monday is Cooper Black!
Karen says, on top of being really cute, they last forever, and are super comfy. So far I’ve already found the latter to be inordinately true. These things are heaven. Plus, I am strongly behind any operation that simply does not believe in thongs. Sing it, sister.

hey, I was gonna ask you if you have ever done a “how to make a apartment garden” journal post and I missed it.
Because I admire the products of your garden and I would like to start my own next year, but how does one go about these things?

I haven’t, but really the best thing to do is run out and buy You Grow Girl. It’s an awesome, awesome book, and was written by a girl from Parkdale with a balcony container garden - so you know she knows what’s she’s talking about.
It’s a little late to start anything right now, but definitely the time to start thinking about growing a garden - I have definitely learned that getting started early is ideal.
