Yesterday morning, the doorbell rang and I had a big package from my blog friend Kyla :] She made me a rad recipe book full of recipes & photos of sandwiches, salads, and fruits (all my favorite things)... and it is MEGA cool! There's lots of space for me to add more recipes and she even included recipe cards, meal planners and some vintage books for me to enjoy :) THANK YOU KYLAAAA!! :)
And a little bonus excitement... my friend from High School told me she had a lot of good old craft stuff in her garage sale... and invited me to come check it out ahead of time. Holy buttons! I got bags & jars of vintage buttons, all separated by color (and ALL awesome!), tiny ricrac, old lace and sequins, some fun vintage tools and this pretty tray of thread :) It was so fun and I feel button-rich! Thanks Miranda :)

ReplyDeletethat recipe book is awesome! What a great gift!
ReplyDeleteI feel so horrible using disposable cups, but they keep me sane. Whenever my boyfriend has people over for beer tastings, I would find a dining room table full of glasses.
ReplyDeleteThat taco salad sounds yum!
