friday i'm in love...sorry, not a St Patrick's edition...cause I'm lame.

March 17, 2023 Arlene Giddings

I know this should somehow
be a St Patrick’s day edition
but instead, I
HAVE
to tell you about the
frigging amazing
homemade flakies I got from
sweet’ems bake shop!!!!!!!

These were literally too die for
and I looked forward to picking up
this order all week…
my week was sleepy and stressy,
time change killed me,
work is insanely busy
and I just can’t keep up
in anything that I am doing…
house, work, exercise, consignments…
but these little sweet delights
made
up
for
everything.
♥

Look at allllllll that lemony goodness
dripping out …and that flaky flaky-ness.
Sooooo good.

OTHER THINGS I AM LOVING ON A FRIDAY

♥ Slowly, you will learn how to lay down your arms. How to walk away from those who will only ever love you in halves. Slowly, you will learn that you cannot love someone into loving you, or being ready, if they are not. You cannot love someone into their potential. You cannot close their hands around your heart if they are not willing to hold it themselves. You have to let them go. You have to focus on the people in your life who bring you back home to yourself. You have to focus on standing up for that kind of connection, on honoring that calm, because it exists. It exists.

♥ murmurations. always, always, always with the murmurations

♥ that Sunny’s Dairy Bar commented on my
little salty chip watercolor on FB, heehee.
(and to say that they loved the doodle,
not to threaten to sue me for copyright, heh)

♥ accidental hearts….

and in the spirit of St Patrick’s,
I can only offer this:

at the end of the day...

September 18, 2016 Arlene Giddings

this has been such a great weekend.

i have already told you all about our
lunch trip to fable tearoom
but when i got home
from there, my girl
texted me to talk
about laptops
and how she needs to get one
for this weekend
so she can do a paper.

now...i know my girl has every
capability and ability to
purchase her own laptop
but under the guise of
"but she may need me"
i quickly offered to "pop" over
and help her.

yes.  i know i am pathetic and
will not be able to visit her once a week
for the rest of my life
but whatever...i can admit my issues.
:)

the rest of the weekend has flown by
with naps and editing,
laundry and blog-reading/writing,
emails, doodles and ice cream sandwiches.

we made this...well...stirling made it...
i just dictated what should not be in it
(namely NOT peas...and NOT carrots...and that we should
add potatoes)...
and it was SO good.
 

and i didn't get this on the weekend
but have not had a chance to share it here.
i got to work on the day after leaving Emma in Moncton
and was admittedly dragging my feet a little
and still feeling a bit sad...
and this
absolutely ADORABLE mushroom house
was waiting for me on my desk.

it literally made me laugh out loud
and i may have even clapped my hands a little.

there was no note attached
but i immediately had a "suspect" in mind...
when i asked her about it later
she started to deny
but the grin gave it away.

people can be so damn kind and awesome and talented...
♥ ♥ ♥
i can't wait to do a photo session with the smurfs!
thank you, Lisa!!

happy weekend!  :)
