Thankful For Family and Friends

So it's been a busy few days between two Thanksgiving dinners Thursday, one at my sister's house and one at Alison's house, Brooke's birthday Friday and going out to a show Saturday. I didn't take many pictures at my sister's house because I was too busy stuffing my face with food and enjoying the company. I'll do a separate post for Brooke's birthday and the show I went to last night later.

The first picture is what I wore for Thanksgiving. I know the important part, ha! I decided to wear a pink silk blouse that I never wear because it's a bit big but I found with the tight knit short sleeve cardigan I was able to make it work. I love the color, the draped cowl neck and of course that it's silk.



Here is David and my mother. I don't remember what she was saying but I know she was agreeing with Bob about something based on her finger pointing.



The next series of pictures are from Alison's house.

















After dinner we walked over to the Old Northender bar to meet up with some more friends for some drinks, jukebox music and of course play Photo Hunt.

Here is a picture of the free huge martini I drank that night. Oh the perks of being in a band.

Some Of My Favorite Things....

So as I was cleaning and organizing tonight I was reminded that I have allot of bangles. I found some in the bathroom closet, some in bedroom and some on the dresser and so forth. Below is what I rounded up so far in my organizing. I need a good way to store/display these bulky beauties. Any ideas?





Then I was dusting the shelves on which I currently have my Alice In Wonderland collection and kept getting distracted by my books of which I haven't looked at in some time. Here are some pictures of these lovely treasures.









The book below is illustrated by John Bradley who's Mad Hatter looks very much like Jack Nicholson. Coincidence? I think NOT.

I've been busy the last few days with work and getting our place nice for family visitors this weekend so not much posting. However I would like to share two things. One is the blog of Heather Moore. I especially like this entry from a few days ago.



Secondly this 12 year old girl cracks me up. Check out her blog.

Nothing A New Jacket Can't Cure

Today I woke up with a stuffy nose. Boo, hoo is me. It went away but then came back later in the day. So I had a noodle curry dish for dinner to try and clear my sinuses. Then I went to a clothing swap at my friend's house and got this amazing jacket that my friend Odele brought. Now I am off to bed, good night.

Happy Sunday....Evening!

We drove back from Northampton, MA today and got home around 2ish. I took a nap and then picked up around the house. The last couple of hours I've been reading blogs and came across this lovely artist Su Blackwell. Her bookcut sculptures are amazing and being the Alice In Wonderland fan I am love those two books especially. I have quite the collection of Alice In Wonderland books and other items but haven't collected that much over the last few years due to various reasons such as space. Anyhow check out all her artwork, it's quite inspiring.




I plan to post pictures from the last nights show in Northampton this week so check back. We had a great set, saw familiar faces and heard some great music. Thanks William and Christine!

Later gators, Holly
