Shopping Fun

I know I've been bad about writing here regularly (already!) but I have a bit of an excuse this time — I've been in jury duty for the last 2 days! So in the interest of something entirely for fun, here are a couple of purchases from an extended shopping spree of the last week or so.

A bizarre bird jewelry dish from the ever-wonderful anthropologie (he's looking at me with a weird expression. . .)


My new friend Maggie from MummySam (thanks Sammi!! She's perfect! I love the way the print in the piece of fabric peeking out of her jacket looks like a tie.). . .

An addition to my fledgling salt and pepper collection (I know that I said I'd only have strange figural ones but I thought that these were just too cute to not get an exception — and they are pearlized — PEARLIZED!).

I'm completely spoiled but I'll say that it's all in the name of my birthday in a few weeks (although I know I'll be getting more great things to play with then too. . .)
