Have a wonderful weekend.

My dolls, have a lovely weekend! I will be taking care of Alex, who is happy as as clam, watching Beatles documentaries, eating clam chowder and tripping out on Vicodin after his knee surgery. A few great posts from around the web this week...and big kisses to all of you! xoxo

Polka-dot sheets

LOVING these polka dot sheets from Castle and Things. Aren't they nice mixed and matched?

Fancy Pinatas!

Today I wrote about hosting a taco night on Smitten, and you could make it extra glam with one of these confetti pinatas. They'd even fit in at a black-tie wedding. Aren't they fabulous?

Swimmers glasses

Aren't these swimmers glasses sweet? When you fill them with water, they look like they're really splashing around. (P.S. More funny glasses.)

A love note.

Thank you so much for the sweet cheering words yesterday! Today is sunny and I'm going to buy flowers, drink hot chocolate, dance to Buddy Holly and watch Old Jews Telling Jokes, like you suggested. Thank you so much.

Le sigh.

My dolls, I am feeling very sad and overwhelmed today. Does that sometimes happen to you? Alex says I must be missing Buddy Holly, who died fifty years ago today.

Mick Jagger look-a-like

Confession: I have such an enormous crush on the young Mick Jagger that Alex sometimes hides our Rolling Stones photography books. Well, my dears, guess what? There is a Mick look-a-like in Stockholm!!!!!!!! He was spotted on Garance Dore last week. A Swedish Mick Jagger? Be still my heart.
Can you believe the resemblance? Based on the way he's cutely jutting out his lips, he must know it, too.
