I am dreaming about playing the piano, too. Not "again" but start to learn. =) I really love the sound of it and I am listen to piano tunes a lot lately.
By the way, I love the picture of the pears.
Have a wonderful weekend.
pretty smart answer if you ask me. i mean really, who would have thought painting your nails would bring so much enjoyment & beauty?
i checked out the "workshop" for next week! I will be tuning in each day to hear what she has to say...and hopefully get inspired for my own spring cleaning!
Summer, I love your lists! I too, am experimenting with whole wheat and flax seed. I would love to know what you come up with!
Ahhhh! I LOVE the pears on the cake stand. I will do that with my domed cake plate next time we get pears (which will probably be soon since Little Man loves "juicy pears." I've just started working on the piano again. Bach is SO good I don't want to stop.
the nail polish line is seriously making my day. just painted mine and though it might not be miraculous, it still makes me feel pretty good. :)
mmmm..need to be brave and try my hand at bread baking. yours looks divine.
