Ready.....Desk.....GO!

A new project for the month of March....By the end of the month, have a desk that is functional! Let's see how it goes. To inspire you, here are some wonderful things that go on or in your desk~ enjoy! (p.s. this is not my desk, yet.....but you can get it at dwr.com)

.

This POCKET book (from Lovely Design, in Canada) is just perfect for jotting to-do lists in, or just for sittin' pretty on your desktop.

This is just about the coolest rolodex out there. So if you need one, like seriously need one, this is it....It makes you happy to look up your plumber's number after all. (also from Lovely Design)

Friday a la Francaise

Look how cute these macaroons are! Sweet and pretty, too. These small little almond cookies are just amazing, although they require a little bit of effort. (The recipe is from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook....a super find!) Mix up the colors or flavors to meet your needs and these petite cookies will shine!

Speaking of shining, these glitter spatulas from Le Creuset are so much fun to use! It used to be that all kitchen utensils were only useful, but now they are just too inspiring (as if you need another reason to bake!).

This year is the year!

Sometimes you forget a birthday~ it happens to the best of us. But lately there have been a few too many belated wishes going out to those who are near and dear! What's a girl to do? How about take a page out of this notebook (courtesy of MarthaStewart.com) . Make your own "birthday binder" so you can just put all those embarassing late cards behind you and actually say "Happy Birthday!" instead of "I'm soooooo sorry!"....Show them you care~ on time! That is one change you can make this year that will last for years to come.

Tripped Up

Gosh, it seems like summer is on the way already. Okay, maybe not summer, but spring is definately knocking right now. In that vein, these little items might make you want to take a trip! The hat above (from Hable Construction) makes you want to sit on a beach with a good book and just let it all go....

This bag would also work for a tropical getaway... It is just right~ the blue says relax already...

And finally, if you can't go on a trip can you have this wallet? Even paying for gas (ouch!) would seem fun if your cards were in this cutie! (both from Orla Keily)....Little things like bags, hats and wallets may seem trivial to lots of people....perhaps, but every once in awhile it is fun to play trivial pursuit!

why the heck not!

today I decided to start this little blog. a little late, a little short, a lot to learn...but what the hey! i figure i spend time doing little things like making tiny cupcakes or sewing little bags for my cell phone- useless use of my time. but no! i think that it is fun! it makes me happy...

this will be my spot for sharing what makes me smile, laugh, hungry....you get it.

the first thing that i had to post about are cupcakes. yes, they are everywhere....but they should be, darn it! they are the best....so enjoy this vision of yumminess from Cupcake Mama in Portland, OR (via Cupcakes take the Cake). it is just right for a saturday afternoon....or sunday morning, wednesday night....
