All I can say about Picnic is Lavender Lemonade and Vanilla Ice Tea: Bottomless. What more could you want on a summer day? Oh....maybe build your own sandwich? or pretty great service? Delicious baked goods? That's what we had today...and the last time I tried it too. I love this place, the perfect place to take a mama-to-be-any-day-now.


Then home to fight the teething blues:

Thank you summer, I'll miss you when you're gone.

still working on knitting projects, and motherhood, but in the mean time these are two things on my wish list.

found treasures

mystery craft item

Does anyone have any idea what this is? I found it when going through my grandmothers old craft box. My mom thinks it's for flowers? I'm thinking it's for needle felting. Too bad you can't google search using an image! The box says made in Japan and aside from the price tag....nothing more. It weighs a ton and that's a rubber base.

I love going through someone's craft box, it's so inspiring, especially my grandmothers. I'm pretty lucky to come from such a crafty family.

a gorgeous summer day, an honesty box and a project for fall.

We were lucky enough to stumble upon a flower cart with an honesty box in this little city. Our reward:

Then home for some napping and knitting and a new creation.

It's the "hooded capelette", but I'm trying to come up with a better name...any suggestions? it's something I've been thinking up for a while. Cute? or strange? we love it over here.
