{I'm so glad it's Friday tomorrow}

Still not on the mend...

Still not feeling 100%

People keep telling me to eat as much honey as humanly possible...

but isn't it a spoon full of sugar that makes the medicine go down

{in the most delightful way}?

Perhaps if served in these spoons...

Spoons by beehive kitchenware co.

{sidenote: we had measuring spoons for the bombonieres at our wedding; they were heart shaped and had similar little sayings engraved onto the handles as these below which are also from beehive kitchenware co. but the ones we gifted were all stainless steel with a gorgeous little stainless ring holding them together and the metal was a much finer gauge than the spoons in the image below but you get the concept...

Ours Said...

"Recipe for a long and happy marrage

Take a "Heap of Love" = 1 tablespoon,

A "Spoonful of Laughter" = 1 teaspoon,

Plus a "Dash of Kindness" = 1/2 teaspoon,

and a "Pinch of Patience" = 1/4 teaspoon"

...and we packaged them in little black boxes with clear tops, tied with a bow and our thankyous.

They looked like this on our guests tables...

...you can just see the spoons behind the organza ribbon and to the left of the gift tag}

I've been happily making and baking with these spoons {add: cooking yummy things to the recipe above} for 2 1/2 years

Precious Porcelain

Oh how I love pears!

White ones...

Lovely Prints in Lovely Colours

More dreamy cushions...

roddy&ginger handprints and details these lovely cushion covers onto heavy canvas or natural linen.

Ooo I think they're lovely!

So bright and colourful just like my weekend!

Or perhaps these lovely prints!

A Big Recycled Rabbit

Imagine the sporadic surprise if you turned an urban corner and were confronted with...

"The Giant of Vlaardingen
2002- 2003
8 x 10,5 x 5,5 meters
Salvaged wood, nails and screws

It took three months to build to a sculpture out of salvaged wood, with the assistance of local people. The sculpture is an assemblage, and although the quality of the wood was poor, it stood on three locations!"
