Some new faves

I've lost the cable that connects my camera to my computer, and now I've little desire to blog. I had so many things to show you: Rachelpologies at Christmas. The Dashboard Confessional Concert. The ugly old chairs I'm fixing up for my kitchen. The fantastic bruise on my right knee from slipping on the ice last weekend.

You'll just have to picture this all in your head for now.

While you're doing that, here are some amazing discoveries I made this week:

1. Ruche [shopruche.com]. It's like a smaller, more affordable Anthropologie. They have lots of cute stuff, and their shipping is really cheap. I'm in love.

2. I bought a new shower curtain liner at Wal-Mart on Thursday. When I put it up I realized it has little tabs on the edges with suction cups so it sticks to my shower walls. Amazing. No more stepping out onto a splooshy bath mat. Whoever came up with this is my new hero.

3. These bad boys:

No waistband=no rolling, no strange lines, no muffin top. No kidding. These nylons are so comfy I'm tempted to wear them to bed. They have changed my life.

What discoveries have you made lately? Please share!

Do you know I was JUST thinking about you this morning, and wondering what you were up to and how you were doing, and hoping you would post on your blog?! No joke! I really was! How did you know? Glad to hear an update from you. I am going to have to check out those nylons, they sound amazing. And I'm so excited to check out Ruche!

Oh la la. Thanks for sharing about the hosiery. Baby #2 left me with a slightly flabby tummy and I dread Sundays because of the muffin top my tights create!

Yay, an update! Sounds like good discoveries! I'm a big yogurt fan and love to put one of the small yogurt containers in the freezer for a couple of hours for an oh so yummy homemade frozen yogurt :)

Sooo...I have a question for you! I was looking at Kara's blog and saw her adorable little girl's blessing dress. She said her friend Rachel made it. I'm assuming that was you! :) Do you ever sell anything you make? I find out tomorrow if I'm having a boy or a girl, and if it's a girl I would LOVE a blessing dress like the one you made for Kara. I was just wondering if you were interested in that, and if so how much you would charge. It was so adorable I couldn't help but ask! I hope things are going well for you!

I'm going to add to your list of requests for a blessing dress for my little girl. I loved your post about them and have been thinking about them since. I did look on etsy but wasn't sure if you were selling them there or not. If you could email me a list of pictures and prices that would be great! teacherheather05@yahoo.com
Thanks Rach!
