hark!

valentine-smashing pumpkins

Luke surprised me with a new friend on Valentine's day..

Hi, Bleu!


He said he picked this little one because it was hanging out at the end of a stick, playing with toys. A loner.

Within thirty minutes of meeting I had her hanging out on my finger, a new record!
I've had a few parakeets in my life, an early memory from childhood involves two of them flying right out the door.
She loves flying around in my studio, and listening to music.


"We love music!"

I started telling her this when she was afraid of the strange sounds coming out of the computer..she especially loves songs with whistling and quieter, scratchier voices.
 Mockingbird(Tom Waits) came on..appropriately haha! I whistled along and she clicked her tiny beak, puffed her throat feathers out, and blinked her pretty feathery eyelashes. Such a delicate, beautiful little creature..
I'm smitten. And I know she'll talk to me one day, I can feel it. We're besties.




Valentine's day treats


Strawberry Marshmallows

They taste like yummy melting strawberry ice cream in your hot chocolate, so good.


Enjoying her fave treat too, we're budgie buddies.


Happy Tuesday!

my funny valentine

Nothing Like You and I by The Perishers on Grooveshark






Luke and I had a perfectly low key Valentine's Day, just the way we like it. I made breakfast, he made dinner. It's a partnership..we balance each other out. He's practical and sensible, I'm impulsive and a bit fickle at times. I didn't dream of my wedding day as a little girl but I knew how I wanted to be loved, Luke is my very best friend. He also does the dishes after I wreck the place,folds socks, and is the best kitty/puppy/bunny daddy in the world..they love him the most haha I'm so glad he held my hand that summer night years ago, we've been inseparable ever since!

favorite vintage mugs

heart shaped breakfast-pecan/peach pancakes with fresh blueberry syrup and southwest eggs

heart brooch and velvet neck bow-handmade by me



love this wall on my street, I can't imagine anything ever costing 5 cents!


We watched Picnic at Hanging Rock later that night, I didn't realized it was set on Valentine's Day! It's been on my Netflix queue for over a year..a "misplaced" mad men disc was finally found and this was the first movie to come in yesterday, perfect timing!

I hope everyone had a sweet Valentine's Day!
