Unearth.

Unearth is a lovely new blog filled with inspiration, photography and pretty things. The curator of this little hub is the designer of beautiful, airy jewlery that has won my heart.

This piece happens to be my favorite.



How I wish I had a special someone to surprise me with one of these beauties for Valentine's Day.

Dallas Clayton.

Dallas Clayton is author of an adorable book entitled An Awesome Book ! I suggest grabbing a copy for a special child in your life or, for yourself so that you can leaf through its pages when you find yourself in need of a quick pick-me-up on a less than stellar day.

Not only that but, he maintains a great blog in which he posts little observances in poetic form. That is what I fell in love with today. Specifically, this little gem, titled Surprising:

A friend turned older today.
Many years older than me.
But maybe many years younger than you.
An age where people say things like
“who’s counting, anyways?”
and have stopped giving you
interesting presents
and instead give you gift certificates
for cheese
or take you out for a meal
at a restaurant you’ve already been to
and you don’t really mind.

To help offset this
I got him a remote controlled helicopter
that you can fly inside your house.

It was shaped like a dragonfly
and named something
that sounded like it was shaped like a dragonfly
with a font on the box
that looked like something
that sounded like it was shaped like a dragonfly.

You should have seen his face.

Elation.

Incredibly sweet, right?
I recommend you follow my example and return daily for other little rays of sunshine

Getting to Know Me, Getting to Know all about Meee..

Haha. What movie is THAT from, kids?

Anyway, Ingrid posted these questions in her regular feature, Getting to Know You. So, I decided to do a short post for the sole purpose of participating and plus, its like a type of questionairre and I FREAKING LOVE THOSE.

1.birkenstocks or designer shoes- Designer shoes because, despite the fact that I can only afford birkenstocks, I find them hideously ugly and I would perfer to go shoeless.

outside or inside- This depends completely on what the weather is like.

hoping or planning- Planning because, one never gets anywhere hoping for things without planning a way in which to acheive what they are hoping for.

carrots or peas- Peas because, although I do like carrots, sometimes they leave that really nasty weird taste in my mouth..I can't explain that taste either but, its atrocious.

cheese or chocolate- Cheese because, I've never been a chocolate lover in the first place.

wristwatch or intuition- A wristwatch because, I like to be certain and I am not inclined to guess or go with my gut.

milk or juice- Plain, light SOYMILK because it is so good for you and doesn't have any of the animal hormones that cow's milk contains nor all the additives, sugars, colorings, and calories of a juice.
..Unless I get to have a Naked juice which is a different thing altogether.

creating or viewing- Viewing because, I'm not exactly the artistic type.

walking or running- Walking because, if you go at a brisk pace, you get just as much exercise as if you were running and it saves an awful lot of wear and tear on your knees and joints.

bouncing or rigid- I am partial to bouncy objects myself.

cozy or breezy- If its a light spring or summer breeze, I'll take that. They can often be cozy.

fancy or hearty- Mealwise? I like homemade, healthy food that leaves you satisfied so, hearty.

chuckle or guffaw- Both are swell.

whisper or announce- I like to whisper things myself.

lick or bite- Oh, a mixture of the two of course!

snuggle or grope- Same as above.

sing or listen- I do enjoy singing.

kiss or hug- Kisses are my preference.

wonder or discover- Its best to discover answers to things that we first wonder over.

anticipate or achieve- Believe ACHEIVE!

Bloggy, blog, blog.

Hola! How has everyone's weekend been unfolding? Have you tried or done anything new and exciting? Did you drink a tad too much last night? Spend the weekend with grandma? Finish a book?

To be honest, I did none of those things BUT! I did make it to the gym! Hey, that's good!

I just wanted to let you know that I've added quite a little list of new reading material to my all-encompassing blogroll on your left.
They are, in no particular order:
