April "Food" Day

Yet another reason why I love the power of blogging!  I didn't know this "day" existed until this morning when I was catching up with my favorite blogs.  Today is a day to recognize that there are so many people in our own communities and country that do not have enough to eat.  Please consider making a donation to a local food bank of your choice.  Cherry St. Mission  makes it so easy with just a few clicks!

What do you collect?

As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to collect Something.  By nature I do not like a lot of clutter or nick nacks, but a collection en masse has always made my heart skip a beat.  So...why have I not started my own?  I think my fear is it looking too dust covered granny or messy.
Here are a few displays that get me Inspired:)

Okay, here's my annoying Realtor note: If your house is For Sale pack up your collection.  You want buyers focusing on your home not your beloved items, it can be very distracting.

I would Love to hear about what your collecting.  Make a comment below and tell me about it!

Bite Me

Pardon the title, but I needed to get your attention.

I was at Whole Foods last night and found myself in the bakery section, shocker, and happend upon these little darlings.  The package read "Natural Whole Wheat Cookies".  Taste was the immediate concern.  I took a chance because they were too cute to resist and so happy I did!  They really taste homemade, buttery with just a hint of salt.

So glad I discovered Bite Me Cookies!  These would make a great hostess or "Thank You" gift for my clients:)

Gardening Anthro Style

Too good to be true gardening!  These Seed Bombs I found on Anthropologie look fun!  Here is what the company has to say:

"Toss these gumball-sized seed-and-soil pods out into your garden - no need to even dig a hole - and they'll eventually bombard your yard with a bee, butterfly and bird-friendly wildflower mixture specific to the United States region of your choice". By Cincinnati design studio VisuaLingual.

Five mixes to choose from.  I've got my "Midwest Mix" on order.
