Conversion Charts

via on Pinterest

Ideally, I wish I could have a conversion chart for everything. 
Like how to convert the real world into a way my brain can understand it... Not sure where to find that.
But, at least I could have a fabulous chart for the kitchen!

A Little Treat For Me...

Its impossible to resist stopping by Home Girls while in Austin.
While there I picked up a little gift for myself (Yeah!)
Its an
Alyson Fox drawing, its so delicate and pretty.
Now I need to find the perfect frame. I'm thinking bright white, maybe?

Happiness



So, Friday afternoon we decided to drive to Austin at the last minute. Many of you may know that my husband and I make Austin trips on a regular basis. I do a lot of wondering around whenever I'm there, so I kind of assumed I was familiar w/ most of the shopping sites...but I discovered I was wrong! (I get so excited when I find new places to shop). Driving down South 1st, I discovered a group of shops called Happiness. There isn't an easy way to describe it. It sits behind a couple of funky vintage clothing stores. You kind of have to know where it is, because its hard to see. Basically, its a collection of tiny sheds. They are centered around a tree-lined courtyard and are filled the works of various artists. The little sheds feature different types of art and handmade objects. My favorite pieces were the creative planters. Happiness really lives up to its name; I forgot about all my troubles and became absorbed in the bohemian atmosphere.
