Sweet surprises this week...
Finding a lovely package in my mailbox from the oh so sweet Anne of The City Sage. These adorable liners will be used to bake something delicious. There were also some yummy Japanese treats, but I have to admit most of them didn't last long enough to have their photo taken.
These were almost like Pocky, but the sticks have random little phrases on them and the chocolate was in a separate container for dipping. D loves squirrels, so we both cracked up when we found this. Equally awesome ones - "star + fish = starfish" and " frog - amphibian."
Coming home to a beautiful bunch of yellow tulips and a clean apartment (D is on spring break this week, so I get spoiled).
Thanks for all your hair advice yesterday! I think I'm going to schedule a cut for next week, and I'll make sure to share.
Have a wonderful weekend, my dears!
Yay! I'm so glad you got the package! I knew that if anyone would be able to appreciate those random bits of Japanese/English translation humor, it would be you!
ReplyDeleteOoooh I got tulips too! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful surprises and treats! I love the yellow tulips!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I nominated you for an award!
what a wonderful gift - your package and your lovely SO. How wonderful.

You'll have to post a picture of your hair when it's finished! And then come over next week (after Tuesday) to see what my new cut looks like (:
ReplyDeleteTulips are the ideal Spring flower, aren't they? I love them! You lucky girl!!
Awww, those little sticks sound adorable!
ReplyDeletewhat is it about tupils that practically scream "happiness!" especially those. their joy spills on over to the whole room.
ReplyDeleteAw, those tulips are charming.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I went three weeks without buying anything. It was a strong effort on my part, but I definitely give you credit for going all the way! I would love to interview you on my blog about your shop-less months if you are interested :).
Have a great weekend!
btw...when i said "lose the hairdryer" i should have expanded: i love the non-blown, wispy, maybe a little hippy-ish, with some john masters organic sea salt spray... {my northern cal roots are showing}...that's what *meant* to say...
ReplyDeleteanyway, can't wait to see the new 'do...i'm sure it will be super-cute, sassy and bang-tastic!
happy weekend.

Those are so cute, love the sticks. I absolutely love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI think you should get a medium cut, not too short, not too long. Try starting out with just a few whispy bangs. If you like them, go for more! Try a few light layers, kind of shag, but not too shaggy. The light layers might make it a little thicker.

That photo of the tulips is so pretty-D is a sweetie and you are quite a lucky girl! Hope you have a wonderful weekend Rachel!
ReplyDeleteoh, what a lovely little blog you have.
ReplyDeleteoff to peruse.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great week...those liners are adorable. So sweet that your sweetie cleaned the house & surprised you with those beautiful Tulips.
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky gals! Those liners are adorable and recieving tulips is ALWAYS a good thing. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely little surprises! On Friday I got a big box of spices in the mail. Unwrapping each one made me feel like it was Christmas all over again!
ReplyDeleteI love those liners and those tulips are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteexcited to hear the next hair update!
ReplyDeletethose tulips are perfection.. oh so sweet.
Yay for yellow tulips, and your sweet man! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh pretty tulips! Can't wait to pick up some fresh flowers for my apartment this week
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift to arrive in the post, I love those cup cake liners, and yellow tulips are so gorgeous, I have some in my hall at the moment. I am very lucky because my aunt and uncle have a tulip farm but don't get the all that often because they live a few hours away. Every now and again I get left a bunch which is always lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is so sexy when boys *clean*!!
ReplyDeleteHa! I love the little sayings on those edible sticks, very cheery and delicious also by the looks of them. Tulips are so lovely at this time of year, so cheery and bright - lovely!
