Recent Thrift Scores – Vintage Boxes and Books

As a Sunday morning treat I thought I’d browse through my recent goodies that I have picked up at thrift stores. I have found some real gems this past month. All goodies for me – not for re-sale. It is nice to give to one’s self every now and again! So here they are in no particular order.

Broiled Grapefruit and Figs

To kick off my Saturday morning I started with a broiled grapefruit and a fresh fig off of a neighbors tree, diced them, placed them on plain greek yogurt and sprinkled with cinnamon. It was so unbelievably delicious I just had to share the happiness that it brought me. mmmmmm . . .

Journal With Me

Relax by the sea in the Oregon coastal town of Yachats for a workshop brought to you by Bloom. We will celebrate the everyday by designing and creating visual art journals. Not sure what a visual art journal is? Visit me on flickr to see some of the pages I have been creating. This workshop will be so much fun – Join me!
