A Whale of a Time

And, friends, it's my LAST day at work this week!

Hip, hip, HOORAY!

Last night, I spent most of the evening making a mixed tape and a care package for this gal. I also worked on the shop and started cleaning in preparation for Cayla's parents' arrival. They will be staying with us all weekend for Thanksgiving and I am so happy! C's dad is the BEST cook ever, so I get to stay home AND eat his delicious food. It's a win win.

Today, I had to show you photos of the cutest dress I thrifted recently. It is plaid AND it has pockets and I love it. I may have worn it three times in the last week because it's just so easy and comfortable.

  2. i just used your idea of charging people for intry and using the money for a local charity, thanks so much! that is such a wonderful idea. i'm hoping to find one that helps families during the holidays.

    i am always afraid to wear bright tights (i wore them recently, but still i never do!), but i love how you wear them here! also, i want your shoes!

  9. OOh. the biggest bummer about Canadian thanksgiving is how incredibly jealous I get when everybody is ramping up for American thanksgiving! I want a food coma too :P!! I hope you have a lovely long weekend full of happiness and good food (both of those in absolute excess!).

    Aye, and naturally I was away from the interwebs all day today running errands for work, and then got your email! It figures! Days I can't stop refreshing my gmail account, nothing happens, but the SECOND I walk away.... haha. Thanks for thinking of me, sweet lady!
