crave + rave: fending off the crankies


It's cold.  I'm cranky. 

I need something excessively cheerful...

    Just coming to your blog has made me smile. All those lovely colors in that lacey card by AshelyPahl feels like a warm summer breeze and that orange lampshade almost makes me want to take a bite out of it.

    aw they are pretty. don't be cranky! take a pencil and hold it horizontal with the floor. now put it in your mouth that way and it will force you to smile, works everytime! (not like, alll the way in your mouth, just til it can't go anymore...and use a full sized pencil)

    The cold just makes me want to eat and be under blankets. I'm freezing here myself too, and am lusting after a hot vacation that I'm not going to get.

    I love that print you picked. Oh, how I wish I felt like that in the mornings!

    Oh Kelli, you always bring such great things for us to see.

    I LOVE the big orange Lampshade. I have to go check out her shop.

    Stay warm my dear, this crappy weather should be over in a few days (Hopefully) then we should be DONE!!!!!

    Have a lovely cozy evening, indoors, cheers, T. :)

    That soap reminds me of Funfetti cake, my boyfriends favorite kind! The colors are very cheery, lovely finds.
