*drooling* over this cookie cutter.

I think my cookies would be so happy as little, fluffy clouds.

don't you think you need a cookie cloud?

Well today is a good day.

Herriott Grace will be updating their shop today.

and I am crossing my fingers,

that I may get one of these little lovelies for my very own.

pretty sweet if you ask me.  :)

sending lots of sweetness to you this weekend.

I Love Pretty Little Things

warm heart

my fingers are cold.

my mittens, out of reach.

so to warm my spirits,

snuggle worthy lovelies.

I think I'm feeling warmer already.

I had a driving date yesterday.

my darling, sweet hubby took me out on a drive-about.

to look at yummy historic homes around town.

he got me one of my favorite breakfast tacos from Taco Deli.

and indulged my coffee craving with a peppermint mocha from Jo's.

I think I was floating around on cloud 9 for at least half the day.

in other news...

stitches come out today.

my arms are getting buff from crutches.

***

warm wishes and toasty toes this monday!

just another thursday

sitting here on the couch.

wishing I could fall asleep.

listening to the hum (or more like roar) of my ice pack machine for my knee.

wondering how physical therapy will go this afternoon.

hoping it won't hurt too much...

not looking forward to going up and down the stairs again.

kind of hungry.

finding all sorts of goodies online.

wanna see?

Set of 4 Have A Seat Pedestal Stands {Isabella Designs}, Modern Hostess Apron {J 'Cass Design}

I'm loving anything with furniture on it these days, from art, to ceramics, to wallpaper...

oh, and who wouldn't want an apron that can also hold your cell phone?

2011 Astrology Wall Calendar {Prismatic}, Holga Camera Coasters {Girls Can Tell}, Happy Bike Couple Lamps {Czechpub}

ahhh the stars will align for you daily with that calendar...

so I'm sure you know by now I'm a camera geek - felt coasters with a camera print, loving it!

I saw this pair of lamps and thought of my sister and her boyfriend who love riding.

hoping your thursday is full of good finds.

there is something about the morning light.

it's soothing.

refreshing.

and 

inspiring.

I woke up this morning, bright and early,

(a daily routine these days since I'm on Josh's schedule)

and just sat on the sofa as the early morning light filled the room.

it really was beautiful.

is there a time of day you find to be the most inspiring to you?

wishful thinking

sorry I've been absent for so long.

recovering from surgery has been harder than I thought.

I haven't been able to take pictures...

or

a proper bath....

the hubby even had to wash my hair in the kitchen sink.

SO

while trying to distract myself from the not so fun things going on right now.

I found a few little lovelies you might want to add to your wish lists this year.

what are some fun ideas you've come up with this year for your wish list?

hope your Monday treats you right.
