The fact that there is a local pickle packing plant anywhere outside a Dr. Seuss book makes me very happy. Just try and say it five times fast!

Parnassus, I wouldn't want to be around when they were going in the oven!

It was an investment at the time, but I got a Hungarian felted star from the Sandor collection and it makes me smile every year when I put it up.

Holy moly, I can't even finish the house tour until I read the whole blog! These pictures are amazing, and the blog ones are even more inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing your home. I am drooling over the bathroom, does the color in there play well with all the teal? Or does it not matter since they are separate?

Psharma, thanks, that was bugging me too.

I just moved into my grandmother's house this year. She used to have Easter here every year in her epic garden. This year I did a buttload of work in that garden and all the nieces and nephews came over and ran amok with sugar and plastic rabbits. Next year will be even more elaborate. It could only be better if she was still here.

Any sources for the art? I would love the details on the pair of prints above the desk and the bird above the stairs... great use of space!

Holy cannoli! I have never seen my canisters anywhere else, EVER! I can see coffee, tea and sugar up there, I have a flour one as well (same size as the sugar). Where is this picture from?! I must know! ;)

I am trying to get out of the habit of eating at my desk, I used to eat there all the time. Now I will not eat anything that needs a plate there (drinks and small snacks are ok). So breakfast is at the table like a big girl. We'll see how long I hold out.

I have the most basic version of the first Bodum one - glass and recycled plastic, no Bakelite (sigh). It works great, and I am willing to bet that most of the other lower-end Bodum ones work just as well. Unless you're into spending that much on a coffee press, of course.

There are lupines that grow all over, MontgomerySt, maybe you can find some that work in your area! I just moved from Nevada where there are tiny pale blue ones to California where there are crazy yellow shrub lupines on the coast. You don't have to go without!

I sure wish the link would work, TJ's seems like a good wine option but I'd like to read the article.

I'm with PilarJ, I find if you look at the actual study it may not be drawing the same conclusions that the media reports. The media likes a nice clear-cut sound bite and that is so rarely what science provides.

crayfish, I am likewise bidding a fond farewell to icy Nevada winters by moving to the south bay. Huzzah for cherry blossoms! And my favorites, mimosas!

I think 3 and 6 are both gorgeous woodwork, 6 in particular is a bit too twee but I think I'd go for 3 in a heartbeat if it weren't four-poster style. And I had piles of cash lying around.

Looks like a bedspread to me too, but I can see both daffodils AND tulips in the print ;)

Love this, does anyone know if this is painted terracotta (the Before)? I have a lot of unpainted terracotta pots I'd love to do this to and I wonder if it would work the same way.

Hanging/displaying musical instruments is not always the best option. If your instrument needs consistent humidification, in the case is the best place for it to live.
