I’ve been meaning to…

So for some time now I have been meaning to post these pics. Some time ago Mr. J and I went for a drive a couple of weekends in a row. These are some pictures from these wonderful little trips.

Books from an awesome library

Beautiful pictures from a Mexican Market, one of my favorite places

Yummy strawberry lemonade served in beautiful mason jars

Downtown Sacramento in the mist

And finally, what better way to end the evening than with Mr. J and a lovely little puzzle.

Owl Collection...and it begins!

Hello friends!
I have been away for a quick second, but now I am back, hoping to post 2 blogs today. The first blog is something a little selfish. So recently I came across Yellow Goat, a great blog, but what makes it even better is this recent give away. I have mentioned before how I am now collecting Owls with one exception, my owls need to have “jobs”. Wha? Let me splain, the little owls I have so far all do something. Here, let me show you…

This little owl is an incense burner.

This little one is a flowerpot or vase. I also have an owl that is a whistle, but I don’t have a picture of him.

And finally my favorite little pair, these owls, which are just perfect porcelain napkin rings.

Well getting back to the selfish nature of this post. Yellow Goat is giving away a set of 6, YES 6 of these little guys and I WANT THEM!!!!! So to get into the drawing I have to post on her blog and blog about her blog, not that that’s a hard thing to do being that the blog rocks.
So I am in love with these porcelain napkin rings and knowing my luck I will prob not be the winner, yet I still have the hope that I can one day find a set of my own.

Birthday Tease

So my birthday is in 3 day eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I am sooo excited! I have never been too big on birthdays, but for some reason this year is different. I am really excited because I will be celebrating my birthday 3 weekends in a row (I know I am a brat). Tomorrow Mr. J and I will be exploring San Francisco and ending the night in a very Wicked way. Ok that sounded a little pervy so clarification… Mr. J and I are going to see Wicked in SF, hurray! I am super excited to explore San Francisco and enjoy a day in the bay. After what I know will be a great Friday, will come a fabulous Saturday. On Saturday we are going to see RENT. It’s a very New York type of birthday. Let me explain why this is such an awesome celebration. About 2 years ago Mr. J gave me a check for my birthday, I know not too romantic, but it was. I have always wanted, and continue to want, to visit the big apple. Mr. J gave me this check and in the memo line he wrote “New York Trip”. This actually brought me to tears, especially since I have a good friend in the east coast that I am dying to visit. That same night we tried booking my New York trip, after getting of the phone with my friend it became clear that this trip was going to be postponed for some time…it is still being postponed. Being able to see these wonderful Broadway musicals is one step closer to getting to NY. Yet I continue to long for a trip to NY and I know some day we will be able to take a bite of the big apple.

So this is my little birthday tease, I will post photos later as well as a birthday wish list. Have a great Friday.

Love, Pita

Just a Quick Clip

As promised here are some of the goodies I found this past weekend at our local flea market. I had a blast this past weekend. It was the first time in 3 weeks that the sun came out and we could go for a nice walk. Not only did I find a wonderful camera but I was also able to add to my collection of owls, which I only just began collecting.

This little thing is just so cute.

These little birds are super cute. The owl will go into my collection, which I will post about later.

The best find of the day!  This wonderful camera.  Mr. J was the one that actually spotted it and convinced me to buy it.  Isn't he wonderful?

 

Ps.  Do you see the little things in the back?  Those items will come into play next time (more projects)

Thanks! Happy animal sticking its head out of a hole day.
