Spiced Tea Red

A little inspiration…

Toast

One of my Favorite Movies of All Time!

And your comments!

Well, you talked me into it! And guess what? I LOVE it! Why did it take me so long to do this? I don’t know if I will ever go back…

Never underestimate the wonders a new hair color can do. I feel like a new person! Red feels so perfect for me right now. It’s kind of funny because only two people at work noticed. Them and a very insane crazy man at my coffee shop. I walked in and he declared loudly, “Here’s an Irish girl!” I laughed and misguidedly responded. After confirming my Irish heritage he launched into a long story about his own and how he was directly related to or best friends with every famous Irish person you could possibly think of. (Most notably Michael Collins) Then he asked, “You’ve heard of the IRA War right? -Well I’m the one that ended it. But I’m sure you know that. I was in the papers…”

After launching into some pretty gory anecdotes he started genuinely making people nervous and was asked to leave.

See the adventure that red hair can bring?

A Toast to Change

Two rather silly things that have been occupying my mind lately: Plaid and dying my hair red. These images from Toast are particularly persuasive…

Under the Umbrella

Any Pacific Northwest girl knows the importance of a sturdy umbrella. With all the sunshine we have had the last month I wonder if I might need a parasol as well? This one is a gypsy girls dream!

Post Test

I just got back from yet another anxiety-ridden Spanish test. Oh dear, at one point I realized I was literally pulling my hair out! I truly want to learn this language, but it is no easy task…

Although I still have mountains of homework I have decided to take some inspiration from this picture and spend a little bit of time relaxing… This lovely image is from the Toast catalogue. I have discovered this treasure trove via several wonderful blogs. The pictures are all wonderful even if their prices are rather grand.

Last weekend I made these scones, but was pretty disappointed with the recipe. I may have done something wrong, but the scones turned out sadly flat… They tasted alright, but still… I’m on the lookout for the perfect scone recipe. If you have one please send it my way. 

Have a happy week!
