"Aging is a process, not a birth right."

as said by model Paulina Porascova on Oprah.

I find this to be an interesting thought.

Etsy Shopping

I am new to the world of Etsy. I haven't bought anything yet, but I think I could spend hours looking at things there. It is endless. The creativity shown by the artists is amazing.

One site I am into right now is Java Jane.

Java Jane has photography of different letters and makes amazing framed pieces.

Classic Car

A few weeks ago I was doing some shopping at Anthropologie and Balducci's and I parked right next to this classic Jeep Wagoneer. I automatically thought of "Tickled Pink and Green" and her love of classic Jeeps. I thought I'd take a photo for her.

Well, as I was taking the picture I got of glimpse of the interior and OMGoodness!!!!!! The interior upholstery was all done up in plaid. Yes, plaid. Can you believe it? Tickled Pink and Green loves Jeeps, but she also loves anything plaid. This car had both together. Amazing. For a second I thought it must belong to her, but then I remembered that she lives all the way in Texas, nowhere near Connecticut. It is adorable, don't you think?

Birthday Wishes

I love when I come across a great phrase, saying or quote. I found a new favorite blog called Blooming on Bainbridge written by an absolutely adorable woman named Teresa. This poem/quote was included in a posting about her father's 70th birthday party.

"I wish you wondrous things that can't be tied up in ribbons and bows.

I wish you thoughts that take you to magnificent places in your mind.

I wish you togetherness and abundant happiness.

And I wish you quiet times all to yourself when the grace of all that is good in your life is sweetly celebrated within."

Don't you just love the sentiment expressed in this?
