tumbling by

i'll admit it. i'm not good at sharing. i've never been good at it. as the oldest, and the only girl, i haven't had a whole lot of practice. i hide the tube of thin mints under the frozen pizza in the freezer so no one else will know where they are.

but i'm growing up! i'm turning over new leaves! and so i'm going to share two of my things in my secret 'folder of cool things' in my bookmarks.

the first is famille summerbelle. it's a french company, and they have all kinds of cool things, but the very coolest is their collection of cut out paper prints of paris, london and NYC. the one below is paris.

i don't know anyone with a really solid connection to any of the three, so i haven't gotten to buy any of them. but they are so cool and crafty and would be so neat for someone who really loved the city.

the second is hudson paint. they make chalkboard paint in all sorts of fun colors. i don't know where the photo went, so you'll just have to imagine glass jars with three or four inches of lime green or perrywinkle chalkboard paint on the bottom, with 'flour' or 'sugar' written in white chalk. so cute.

and for those of us in austin.. my favorite secret indian food place: swad on lamar and rundburg. soo delicious and cheap. i had the masala dosa. that thing is literally two feet long.

what a crazy day driving around in the pouring down rain.
