Dragon Moon

I purchased these this summer at a unique little store in Perth.  

www.dmperth.com

2 Gore St E, Perth

They have a $10 rack and that's where I got the tuque and the ombré leggings.  

To be honest, my sister picked the leggings and I laughed at her because I thought they were too weird looking.  Then I tried them on... lOVED THEM!!

Please note: I did pick out another pair of black tie died leggings (very rock n rollish) and when I went to pay for them, the cashier pointed out that one leg was longer then the other?!?!? $10 rack be aware.  Unless you have one leg longer than the other :p

Help?!

So last week I posted pix of upcoming "jobs" well I forgot a really big one:

Painting my bedroom! Not just painting it but removing the wainscoting, patching and raising the chair rail.  Do you see the cathedral ceiling? Lots of painting.

Colours:

Coral & grey (I know similar to what is there but will go on easily)

Or

Yellow & grey ( a la National Geographics logo...so a little white in there somewhere too)

Help:(!?!?

Snow!

So thankful for the snow this weekend!  Breton was out shovelling as soon as there was enough to shovel. 

I also started to decorate for Christmas, starting with putting out my winter dishes:) yes I have winter dishes.

While putting them out I was just smiling from ear to ear.  They just made me happy!  

So festive and wintery, the blue and white.

Snowflake glasses and my collection of holiday mugs.  I got a few being a teacher:)

Hope your start to Christmas prep is going well.

Ode To The Avocado

Avocado

I first met you in my guacamole 

And even then I wasn't in love with you

But now

I love you!

In my sushi

In a salad

I mix you with salsa, hummus or with tuna

Then eat you on a cracker.

Wondered if you were a veggie or a fruit

Googled you

You are a fruit

Should have known with the size of your pit

In Mexico they call you an Alligator Pear.

Whatever you are called

I love you

Cheaper is NOT always better!

So this is Thrifty Thursdays and I just have to go on record stating that cheaper is not always better!

I live for a cup of orange pekoe ("regular") tea. Ok maybe three or four cups a day. So in an attempt to save some $ I bought the store's version of regular tea, not my usual Red Rose or Tetley.

Well YUCK!

My evening tea was ruined! It was like drinking medicine.  There was this weird chemical taste.  I even thought that I would be hearing soon that there is a recall on this tea.  It was gross.

So some things I can not go cheap on.

Lesson learned.

Thanx life!

This is me in grade nine!

So I have had this sweater since grade nine!  I love it!  It is kinda militaryish, thick and warm, neutral colour.

I look much cooler in it now then in grade nine:) no way could you pay me to go back to high school!

Bare naked Lady here!  Hope you got the reference! Nakid so fun
