This and That

At the Yellow Springs street fair. I always have to hunt down this guy's truck.

So many interesting look houses in Yellow Springs.

An old hearse.

Some cupcakes from a place called Ele that Matt's parents gave us. They were amazing.

Holy Cow by Sarah MacDonald and new sunglasses.

Ghibli display in a book store.

Checking out 2nd Street Market.

Dave & Busters trip

Pug buddy

Ticket winnings and overly sweet drinks

Daiso Japan Package

 It's no secret that I'm really 12 years old and love cutesy stuff. It makes me happy, okay? I've dreamed of visiting a Daiso Japan store since I first heard about it. A friend recently mentioned she lives close to one and sweetly offered to send me a box of stuff. Let's just say Iloveeverything.

Thursday Goods

Cute cheapie things from Michael's.

Current library books.

hot air balloons and butterflies.

Letter writing and sticker collection.

a stamp set a friend gave me.

Receiving mail makes me happy.

-I finally saw Frozen. While I liked it, I won't say that I loved it.
-Thunderstorms call for a movie and mac and cheese kind of night.
-I baked some lemon brownies. I was going to post them here and while they're tasty, they didn't photograph well. They look disgusting. Oh well.
-New Thievery Corporation album served as excellent baking music.
-GAME OF THRONES this weekend.

Dear Valentine

Cheesy fun nails.

Don't mind the claw hands.

My friend and I were complaining about boredom and decided to make cards for each other.

I'm not a huge lipstick person but I love these Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks.

Kinda weird thing to say about lipstick but they also smell great!

Little Happies

Macaroons and Madeleines: Welp, although I've been trying to limit my sugar intake lately.....I seem to be failing a bit. Okay, a lot. I've been on the hunt for a bakery around here that sells macaroons and haven't had much luck. During our trip to Columbus this weekend we came across the cutest bakery, Pistacia Vera. I really wanted to try every flavor but we settled with sharing four (raspberry, pumpkin, caramel and a buckeye). I had never tried Madeleines before but a friend kept talking about them so I was curious, pretty tasty too and more spongy than I expected. We definitely will be going back the next time we're in Columbus :D

Bookstores: Also while in Columbus, we were exploring the German Village area and came across this little bookstore.....well, I thought it was small based on the outside but once we were inside it was pretty much a maze. There were 32 different rooms to walk through and we ended up getting lost a couple times. I don't buy many books lately since I get most of mine from the library, but there is something I really love about bookstores. They are relaxing to me and I can spend hours just browsing.

Tea: Trader Joe's Harvest Blend Herbal Tea - delicious! Cinnamon. Apple. Ginger. Orange Peel. Hibiscus. Chamomile. Caffeine free for whimps like me. I've become quite a tea fiend lately but I'm still a bit cheap when it comes to spending a lot on specialty brands. This one was only $1.99. I assume it's seasonal so I will be sad when it's no longer in stores.

Ouija: Perhaps a bit silly, but I was excited when I saw this tin of mints at the World Market store. Ouija Boards are really nostalgic for me and remind me of many tween sleepovers. We'd ask embarrassing questions and do our best to pretend that we weren't moving the indicator. Pretty sure I may have abused it a bit and spelled out some inappropriate words for my friends.

Pocky: It's surprising my teeth aren't rotting out of my head. I rarely see different flavors of Pocky in stores so we had to get this too when we saw it at the World Market store. Haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it's delicious.

Childhood Movies: The Witches (1990) - I loved this movie so much when I was a kid. I had an overwhelming urge to watch it again lately, especially since it's a good Halloween movie. I'm not ashamed to admit that I enjoyed it just as much as I did when I was a kid. (Possibly Spoilery) I remember feeling really creeped out in the beginning of the movie when the little girl is trapped in a painting. The mouse scenes were always so adorable to me. Ahhh.
