Goody-Goody Spin Pins

I love a good bun. I never was able to create the perfect bun so I was beyond excited when the infamous 'messy bun' became all the rage! That I could do!

Still getting all of the little ends tucked in was hard to master...but now~

Goody has come out with the...... SPIN PIN!

Never one to buy into hair gimmicks ever, but this looked like it might work~ and it does.

You actually screw the pins into the bun that you've made-one on the top and the other on the bottom. You screw them in close to the head and they hold!

My hair is longer than it's been in a while and with warmer weather coming, I wanted to be able to wear it up. But clips just don't hold my thick hair very well.

The Spin Pin come in a blond or brunette finish.

I picked mine up at Target.

I know- a pretty light post after being absent all week~

I did get some work completed, worked hard with my trainer, had several visits with the chiropractor, a day in the city ~ shopping all alone and lots of long walks.

Thanks for checking in on me!

Thanks to Goody

Dreamy Sunday~

~ Dining al fresco~

~ My Honda Metropolitan ~

It's that time again. When the days are warm enough to get out on my scooter- the days that I'm not feeling the cycling-love, the days that I just want to zip along and feel the breeze on my face.... and pretend, if only for an hour or so- that I am breezing along the dirt roads, lined with huge yellow sunflowers, on my way to a quaint vineyard.

And will return with two wonderful bottles of local pinot grigio- perfect for a warm day and a light dinner served al fresco~ among the olive trees.

Or just maybe thinking locally and traveling down Rt. 202 between Winthrop and Monmouth- among the apple orchards- with a dream...

I have posted my fondness for Carolyn Quartermaine fabrics before.

I especially love her 'script' collection.

Isn't this a dream?

I could go to google translator... but is there someone out there that can translate what this gorgeous settee is saying?

I think it's saying..."I want to come live at your house!"

Dark Chocolate at it's best~

O.K.- this is not my chocolate standard poodle Lucca. But after searching long and hard it is a photo that so resembles her. I tried taking her photo- but she is simply not up to snuff and wanted nothing to do with the camera. And the photos I did get- had red-eye which pretty much sums up Lucca's mood today! I just couldn't do that to her.

We've had a day... that started Wednesday morning at 3:00!

Numerous visits outside and the B.R.A.T. diet for dinner and you get the idea.

She's been checked-out~ and needs rest, water and lots of love.

So please do check back with me-we need a little time to rest up, recoup, re-group and snuggle-her-well!

Wordless Wednesday~

Just now starting to peek through.

Some Like it HOT~

I love soup! I make soup at least once a week- from mid-August until mid-May.

It was cold here this weekend. Really cold! There were warnings for those Mothers to bring their special flowering hanging baskets inside Sunday night.

We wouldn't want to freeze our Mother's day gifts on the first night!

It's cold.

L.L. Bean rag socks to bed cold!

Cherry-stone pouch in the bed cold!

WHY did I just pack away my flannel jammies cold!

C O L D

This calls for a warming soup.

No matter how cold you are.

Do Not~ I repeat... Do Not double {or triple} the amount of chopped jalapeno for your soup recipe.
