Phoenix Work Table

Sort of on a whim M and I replaced our desk with this guy. We were just sittin’ in Crate and Barrel, waiting for mom to finish shopping. Hey, that’s a cool table! And it’s made of reclaimed telephone polls. So now said table is in it’s new home. It looks great…but…it’s….so smelly! At first I thought it was the lingering sweaty man smell from the delivery men (very nice guys btw). But no….it still stinks. It must be the table.

So now I have this awesome table to work at

but I am trying not to throw up from the smell. Do I still love it? Yes.

Gossip Girl Sighting, #2

Or, ex-Gossip Girl I should say. Last year I sighted Penn Badgley at Think Coffee on Bowery. Today I sighted Jessica Szohr at checkout counter 19 at Wholefoods Union Square. At first I didn’t spot her. But I did notice a largeish gathering of good-looking young people with coifed hair, too tight skinny jeans and beat up leather jackets. Not unusual for Wholefoods, but enough to warrant attention. I’m sorry I don’t have a photo, but I don’t want to be the annoying person #12904 to take an iPhone picture of the poor girl grocery shopping. But here she is in one of my favorite looks for her at last year’s Met Gala

I just noticed how much she resembles Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. And Adriana Lima.

Reading Rainbow

The young generation is so into digital books. Even Mini has caught on…

Recycling can be cute

I didn’t know what the heck to do with my Plant’s vs Zombies costume. Throw it away? No, that’s not nice. But what can I make with green and brown felt?

Idea!

If only I had thought to make this for her to go along with her Triceratops head…
