I'm not sure if the buyer is giving the gift of music, a movie, or photographs - but I do hope that her recipients love them!

Ode to the Lemon Meringue Pie
I've been noticing my Lemon Meringue Pie listing appearing in a lot of treasuries lately. It will soon be gone so I thought I would share a few of my favourite compilations with you as a tribute to this wonderful listing that has brought me so much in return (if you don't know what I am talking about, just scroll down a few posts to see what all of this gushing is about).

Twitter Tuesdays
COMING SOON
I'm planning a new feature on my blog called Twitter Tuesdays. Each week, on Tuesday of course, I'm going to showcase one of my Twitter favourites. It could be anyone from a celebrity, a band, a friend, an Etsian, a fabulous party peep, a MOMpreneur, or someone just plain terrific in my eyes! I do follow over 2,000 users so picking and choosing is going to be extremely difficult. I better start making a list....

Lemon Meringue Pie
The timing of this lovely Etsy treasury is just perfect. An ode to Lemon Meringue Pie!

Here Comes the...
BRIDES Magazine
February 2011
So, finally the cat's out of the bag. It's a secret I've been harbouring for months. Well, not very well on Twitter, I'm afraid. I did let it leak once (or maybe twice). Not because I wasn't allowed to tell, but sometimes you can't believe some things until you see them for yourself. That was me, yesterday at the drug store, which I have been stalking for at least a week now. I walked in and *eeek* there it was! I grabbed the issue off the shelf and frantically flipped through it to find some resemblance of a pinwheel (which is no easy task, the magazine is huge!). But, finally, there it was! My Lemon Meringue Pie creation in an ode to the doily! I tried to contain my squeals of joy but a few giddy squeeks snuck out. Was one magazine going to be enough, maybe I should get two, oh heck, three? No, I frugally stopped at two - they are kind of expensive. Plus, there was Sebastian looking up at me with his sweet little doe eyes - he had a magazine in his hands, he wanted one too. How could I refuse?
I have a feeling that it's going to be a Fabulous February!

Hopeless for Haeger
I'm not usually a fan of collections. I consider myself much too organized to have a large number of the same items lying around collecting dust. That is, of course until I get asked why I have a tonne of cream coloured pottery displayed all-around-my-house.
The truth is, I am hopelessly and desperately in love with Haeger pottery. Any colour, really, but mainly the lovely cream coloured variety.
It is, simply put, beautiful.
I have been growing my collection of Royal Haeger pottery for about 13 years now. I think the obsession started around the same time I got married and was busy decorating our first home.
It was easy to find pieces early on but I sadly haven't added to my collection in several years. The passion isn't gone - more like the space to put them once I do covet the perfect piece.
Oh, who am I kidding? I could always find a place.
Here are some of my recent favourites currently for sale on Etsy.

Hmmm.... There could be a purchase in my future.

UPDATE: Sure enough I could not resist making a purchase or two so I bought the lovely oval pedestal vase from ArtfulVintage and this little number below from thevrose. Can't wait for them to arrive!

SoCal New Year's Blogger's Bee
I was thrilled to have been asked a few months back by the lovely Dionne of the fab blog, Notes by Dionne, if I would like to contribute to the goody bags that she would be handing out for her Southern California New Year's Blogger's Brunch.

Um......... of course!
Didn't they turn out adorable with that little pinwheel sticking out and all? AND the best part is she has two extra goody bags to give away to a couple of her lucky readers. So, hop on over to her post here to see all of the wonderful items that will be included and how to enter. You will be glad you did!

{Etsy Love}
I saw these sweet little crocheted bunny ear egg warmer "hats" on the front page of Etsy this morning and had to share with anyone who may have missed them.
Wouldn't they be too cute for Easter brunch?
So, I of course had to check out the rest of this adorable little shop by Sabahnur and it is full of total cuteness including this tiny blue bird...
Doesn't he remind you of this familiar little tweeting guy?
LOVE!

Boys and their Toys
Finally, after 2 years, my husband gets to use his "big boy toy". This was such a painful purchase for us. It seemed a bit extravagant. Yes, we live in Canada. Yes, our Winters get a little "deep" (well, at least up until 2 years ago they did). And, yes, my husband travels a lot so I had to sometimes rely on the kindness of my neighbours to help get me out of the house. It seemed like the right thing to do, especially after this storm in 2008 just before Christmas.
Then........ nothing. Barely a flake in 2 years. We jinxed it. Blame us, it's all our fault. Until today. We maybe got a foot of snow today, but it is the most glorious foot of snow ever!

A Room with a View
This is what I am seeing out my family room window this afternoon. We just received our first significant snowfall of the year this morning and it is beautiful - just what I have been waiting for.
What does the view from your room look like? ◦
Printemps
Another Springtime fresh treasury for this snowed in Saturday morning. I cannot wait to see the daffodils make their lovely debut!
