Monday Madness


Happy Monday, everyone! 

 I've been running a little behind on my review schedule - apologies, apologies. Did I also mention that this just happens to be one of the busiest weeks of my life?! In the near future you can expect reviews of Tana French's In the Woods, Markus Zusak's The Book Thief, and Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar

The Weekend Awaits - Ever So Patiently

Happy Friday!  The two day break from the 8 to 5 has been the source of much anticipation.  Atlanta's dogwoods and cherry blossom trees are in full bloom. (I'll be including some photos to prove it.)The landscape is filled with blue skies and bright sunshine.  It's also going to be close to 80 degrees.  That's Atlanta - and I love it.

I finished The Book Thief last night.  Tears and all.  I'm actually quite congested today because of the intense tear action, and had every intention to post my review this afternoon.  But, honestly, it's just going to have to wait until Monday.  The book and the craze of the past couple weeks have left me on empty.  J left this morning to go stay in the beautiful N. Georgia mountains for the weekend (lucky). I keep wondering if it's terrible that I'm so excited to have the whole place to myself for TWO whole days.  Note: He'll be missed.  A little.  ;)

I'm loving that I've taken the opportunity to create a book blog, and that I'm actively engaged with individuals who share goals and ideals.  It's made my life so bright.  Sometimes you just need a break, though.  This weekend is definitely going to be used to reignite my zeal, tie up some loose ends and do whatever I'm feeling like doing at an exact moment. 

So, sorry for the rant.  Here are some things that have brought cheer to my life in the past week.  Another note: photography is another passion, so you'll definitely be seeing more and more test images as I work my way up as an amateur photographer.  Enjoy!

1. Burst of bright color.



2. Window project: felt, twine, yarn, ribbon, buttons and burlap.




3. Flowers.  Everywhere.





Hope you enjoy this lovely weekend, too!

Lovely Little Endeavors

The weekend offers me the chance to do all the things I dream about during the work week.  I like to visit my family.  Decorate my home.  Whip up new dishes.  And, occasionally, leave the homestead to sip warmth in pretty little tea cups.

When my nose isn't stuck in a book, I do things. Camera at my side. 

Here's a look at last weekend in anticipation of the coming break from the 8 to 5:

I. Tea Party





II. Trips to the Market and a Teeny, Tiny Kitchen

III. Nana and Papa and the Vast Space They Inhabit




Ah, fresh air. And flowers. And herbs for baking. And tea for drinking.

 "I was something that lay under the sun and felt it, like the pumpkins, and I did not want to be anything more.  I was entirely happy.  Perhaps we feel like that when we die and become a part of something entire, whether it is sun and air, or goodness and knowledge. At any rate, that is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great." - My Antonia
