I'm in the mood to shop for shoes, but I have decided to abstain. Fortunately, Flickr gave me a much needed fix of the eye candy I was craving. I thought you might like to see some of my favorite finds. We can all afford to do a little window shopping now can't we?

M.I.A.

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm the girl who hasn't blogged in almost a month. YIKES!!!
All is well, but school started back up on August 5th (Yes, you read that correctly) and I have been treading water ever since. In addition to teaching American Lit. I was given two sections of British Literature to do as well. Normally this would be all well and good, but this new assignment occurred just one day prior to the start of classes (Yes, you read that correctly).

To say that I'm up to my eyebrows in Beowulf would be an understatement. I am literally staying ahead of my students by two days at best. So I just wanted to pop in and say hello before I started my homework. Next on the syllabus is

Le Morte d' Arthur, that is if Le Morte d' Melissa does not occur first. This Brit Lit. business does have a silver lining though...say it with me people... J-a-n-e A-u-s-t-e-n.

Okay, I can do it.

Sew Sweet

Awhile back I bought these delightful pin cushions from Beth. They looked like dainty little bonbons to me, so I thought it was only fitting that they should be displayed on a cake stand.

I suppose one would have worked just fine for its intended purpose...

But three looked oh so charming together for decoration. Yes, odd numbers group well together.

Hmmm... maybe I should add two more.

For a glimpse at more pink sweet treats, head over to the blog of our fabulous hostess Beverly for a list of today's Pink Saturday participants. Thank you for popping by!

A wish come true...

The wish factory has been operating at full capacity for the last couple of weeks, all in preparation for my little one's fourth birthday celebration.

The assembly line had a rollicking good time putting together the favor boxes.

Pink tiaras and flower topped boxes for the girls...

Minty green flower topped boxes for the boys.

Party horns for all.

Pointy party hats for anyone interested.

Ooh, and the world on the string for my baby girl.

Time for Tea!

When the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat pocket and looked at it and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet. Burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit hole. In another moment, down went Alice after it, never once considering how she would get out again...

She had not gone much farther before she came in sight of the house of the March Hare. There was a table set out front of the house, and the March Hare and the Mad Hatter were having tea at it.

The table was a large one, but all present were crowded together at one corner of it.

"Have some wine," the March Hare said encouragingly.

Alice looked all around the table, but there was nothing on it but tea.

The Hatter went on in a mournful tone, "It's always six o' clock." A bright idea came into Alice's head. "Is that the reason so many tea things are put out here?" she asked.

"Yes, that's it," said the Hatter with a sigh. "It's always teatime, and we've no time to wash the things."

"Then you keep moving round, I suppose, " said Alice.

"Exactly so," said the Hatter, "as things get used up."

"But what happens when you come back to the beginning again?" Alice ventured to ask.

"Suppose we change the subject," the March Hare interrupted, yawning.

Follow Alice on the rest of her adventures by picking up a road map from our FABULOUS hostess Vanessa. You'll love all the twists and turns along the way. Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy Day!

The time has come the walrus said...

Okay, it's not quite time yet...but soon! Please return and join the merry making on Saturday June 27th. There will definitely be a teacup with your name on it. In the meantime, follow the White Rabbit over to Fanciful Twist and meet Vanessa the Fabulous. She's the creative genius behind Saturday's soiree. She will definitely make you feel right at home in her enchanting world.

Water Baby

My baby girl just finished two weeks worth of swimming lessons. She can kick her feet, blow bubbles, and move the water out of the way with her arms...only not all at the same time. But practice makes perfect, right? Popsicle incentives never hurt either.

Bookkeeper

Nancy Drew has been feeling a little intimidated ever since I brought this perky pink Barbie book home. Miss Drew thought that she was the only gumshoe in town, but Barbie Roberts had news for her. If Barbie lingers in Rivers Heights much longer though, Nancy has threatened to steal her boyfriend. We may have a super sleuth cat fight on our hands ladies and gentlemen. If so, my money is definitely on Barbie. Never underestimate the power of pink. Which reminds me, check out the list of Pink Saturday participants over at the blog of our fabulous hostess Beverly.You'll be glad you did!

Now before you leave, you have to peek inside the book at some of the great illustrations that mark each chapter. Love the pointy toed shoes and the ponytail!

Love that secretary desk with all the cubbyholes and the shoes AGAIN!

Okay, it's difficult to pick a favorite here. Love the sweater tied at the neck and the ice cream sodas, but most of all I LOVE that Ken had worn a hat. Oh and by the dreamy way in which he is gazing into Barbie's eyes, I don't think Nancy stands a chance.

Icing on the Cake

Today my three-year-old will dance in her very first ballet recital. I am beyond excited and nervous! I made these little treats for the after party, but I thought they were the perfect way to celebrate Pink Saturday as well. Who am I kidding, after all that chocolate curling I had to show them off, and any excuse would suffice. The milk chocolate ones look like wood chips, but I'm pretty proud of the pink ones. Thanks for indulging me. LOL!

Please pop over to the blog of our fabulous hostess Beverly for a list of today's participants. Ooh, and be sure to congratulate her on the first anniversary of hosting Pink Saturday! What an accomplishment! Happy Day!

School is out...

Time for picnics and PLAY!

HOORAY!!!
