Everyday flowers…
May 7, 2012
continued. Well, another day of bargains in the Kroger floral department. Glorious yellow pincushion protea ( which I think were already a good value at their regular price of $4) marked down to $.99 each. Wha ???? Plus the added bonus of some bear greass with each. So, here we go… simply drop them both in a taller cylindrical vase ( pottery/ glass/Pringles can) or lop off their heads and place them in the bottom of a simple on-the-rocks glass ( to be used anywhere you might have 4 square inches that needs a chic little lift, singly or in multiples…..end table, night stand, powder room, on top of a stack of books on the coffee table, your desk). It’s no simplequietmodern secret that you can live so well on so little.
There is a Chinese proverb that is applicable here that says ” If you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one and a lily with the other.”
Move over Chuck…
May 6, 2012
you’ve been benched. Spring is the time to review the condition of my classic optic white Chuck Taylor’s and set out to pick up a new pair or two to carry me through…ever a key component of my summer “uniform”. Always classic, always fun and always a good value is what I loved about my Chucks. But, sadly things have changed ( you may have noticed them as well) and it’s time for me to make some changes too. Stepping up as this season’s replacement are these classic Bass Oxfords, to pair up with literally every summer outfit for every summer situation. I’m guessing I’m going to need two pair, one to knock the crap out of and another as a tidier back up. http://needsupply.com/mens/shoes/brockton-in-ice.html
