random things of note...

1. puppies are not much different to toddlers,

after a long day of doing 'mischief' they curl up,

go to sleep

and

one's heart forgives and forgets

2. thrifting in clogs is a must,

it makes one stride around the store with intention,

suddenly one appears to have the qualifications to thrift.

i know this to be true because when wearing my 'new sweeties' upon my feet, i scored my first piece of secondhand clothing since my challenge began.

it is whirring around Miss W. Machine as i tippity type and then all will be revealed

3. a 'cluster of happy' is perfect for a 'spring fling' feel,

my little cluster was hanging in front of orla's goodness,

i feared my little 'cluster of happy' was not quite as happy as she could be.

so i moved her to a corner where she could shine in all her happiness and be amongst friends

4. mixing mid century and vintage is my bestest of besty things to do.

sometimes i step back and have to walk away "tut tutting" at what i have done.

then later i return to greet my newly decorated friend,

spend a while together and realize that yes indeedy,

she's looking peachy

5. risk taking for 2010 has reached an all time 'high risk' factor and we are only into february.

am i scared? why yes i am

am i excited? why yes i am

am i tres amazed to be heading up a three day 'dottie angel' workshop in september? why yes i am

she is wishing you the peachiest of 'risk taking, cluster of happy' weekends ~ Tif

footynote: ah ha! did i say three days! well what i meant to say was three nights and two full days, oh silly me... when i have more details available i will be sure to inform you of the 'nitty gritty' stuff :)

footy footynote: do not fear potential 'dottie angel workshop dearies', i will not be in charge of the cooking, i think that most important to be told upfront thus eliminating cause for concern.

luckily the lovely Angela will have that all under control...
