Goodness! Even when you work from home, it's nice when the weekend rolls around.
Okay, I know nobody cares about ginger biscuits as much as I do, but I just need to correct something I mentioned before. I went back to the The Wedge co-op today, and I think what they were calling 'Triple Ginger' biscuits last time I was there were actually the molasses cookies. This was in the 'Triple Ginger' tray today, and it was definitely more gingery! Yum.
I bought a set of four of those little lotus-y plates at the Pier 1 outlet shop near my parents' house. Generally I'm a fan of white dishes, but these make such a pretty accent. And they were cheap.
We visited the No Coast Craft-O-Rama this morning, which was terrific. While there's loads of design in London, a lot of the markets and shows I've visited didn't seem to be of the same breed as our crafty world. Minneapolis' Craft-O-Rama gets two thumbs up from me, though -- very fun! I didn't buy any 'crafts', really, because I have a chronic case of Icoulddothats, but I did buy a few pieces of screen printed art:
This calendar was made by Amy Jo; I love it! I also bought a print of the same peacock (only smaller) in silver and red, for my office. The magazine files I covered a while back are for my office, and the walls will be light grey (with white trim).
I also bought a print from Adam Turman, but I can't find it on his site. He had a series of Minneapolis landmarks, and I bought the Gold Medal Flour building (print). His Minneapolis posters seemed to be selling as quickly as hottened cakes, and rightfully so -- they're excellent! The green in the poster matches the green of the magazine files, so it will be going in my office as well.
Such talent in the little ol' Twin Cities! I must find out how to convince these people to be my friends.
I really don't think you'd have much trouble persuading those folks to be your friends. You're crafty. You're smart. What's not to like?
