Speaking of oranges, I just squeezed myself a fresh cup of OJ from my weekly CSA box. <BR/><BR/>I totally concur and support your spending commitment! I can't even remember the last time I bought something "new." I really try to live by the Wabi Sabi philosophy that everything in my house should either be highly useful or something I absolutely love, and when possible, fit both requirements. My mother always taught me that it takes energy to throw out the things you paid good money for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-5540860472865635462009-01-12T17:29:00.000-08:002009-01-12T17:29:00.000-08:00lovely images. the bits of turquoise hue are dream...lovely images. the bits of turquoise hue are dreamy. brilliant 3 month idea, excluding the vintage or reclaimed items. good call.tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257412623974954903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-91974686973263921342009-01-12T14:40:00.000-08:002009-01-12T14:40:00.000-08:00post recipes, post recipes! we saw the moon too. i...post recipes, post recipes! we saw the moon too. it was insane!kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291233186222706297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-5899357681447181452009-01-12T13:58:00.000-08:002009-01-12T13:58:00.000-08:00gorgeous photos!gorgeous photos!summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293904495860552057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-72391451798663498422009-01-12T13:38:00.000-08:002009-01-12T13:38:00.000-08:00I worked out a budget for the new year.
