Glühdachel?

For several years my hubby and I have been thinking about getting a little dachshund.


Siobhan has a suggestion ... Even though we don't yet have a real sausage dog, perhaps this little fella could light up our lives:


Urban Outfitters are offering life-sized dachshund lamps for US$78.

(happy little dachels found here and here)

Swoon!

Last night I discovered Lis Timpone's exquisite drawings (via Dear Ada ) ....







If you click the images on Lis' site you will be able to see the amazing detail of her work. So lovely!

I hope you're having a good day!

Now you're stylin'!

Making words

Ami and Luci like to play with words. Looks like fun!

Family ties

I've recently been given an opportunity to get to know my aunt, uncle and cousins a lot better after several years of going in our own directions, and I hope they know how much I appreciate them. One of my cousins, who was very close to my dad, has effectively taken on the role of big brother to me this year. I feel very lucky.

Thank you Barbara, Bob, Stuart, Steffi, John, Jas, Debbie and Ian (and your gorgeous kidlets!).
Let's catch up soon over a nice cup of tea ...
