The Joy of Nesting: Sniffles

Sniffles

We have a good case of the sniffles here. LW woke up this past weekend with a silly cold. Because we tend to share things at our little casa, I woke up a couple of days ago with yep that silly cold. You know in a healthy human a viral infestation (cold) is not life threatening. There also is no cure for the common cold and it last 7-10 days. Knowing all that still doesn't make me any more willing to share my body with a bunch of rapidly multiplying ungrateful squatters!! :(

I'm sure this is rather a lame excuse for not accomplishing much this week but that's just the way it is. But since I have been sitting here at my little desk not making anything I have been doing a bit of site exploring. I love hopping over to the Scandinavian countries in Bloglandia. You can find a number of my favorites listed under Beautiful Visual Noise there on the right. I think there must be a rule that you must have the most beautifully decorated homes and you must be able to take amazing photos, in order to have a Scandinavian blog . Some of these gals blogs are nothing short of amazing!! Besides that they always seem to have the most wonderful simple, comfortable decorations. Old rusty crowns, rather beat up chalk boards, speckled eggs (we won't dwell on the fact that there are NO eggs other then the ones with chicks in them here in Mazatlan), tarnish, rusty bird cages, old linens, market baskets, well you get the idea. :)

So as I'm blissfully blog hopping I find a referral for the most AWESOME web site. This is soooooo amazingly cool, beautiful and I want that and that and that oh and that !! The name of my new found Nirvana is "Mothology" do you guys know about it?? Probably I'm usually the last one to find these little gems. Well if you don't you just have to fix yourself a nice cup of tea or pour a lovely glass of wine and sit down for a wonderful visit. I would recommend you leave your visa in the hands of a very responsible person who will not give in to all manners of begging, tears, promises or threats!! :)

Have a most audacious today or tomorrow my bloglandian friends depending on where in the world you are ;)

I also am quite enamored with the silver plated milagros - especially the hand!

Hope all the sniffles go away for your family...I still have an ear infection that is driving me crazy because it makes me lose my balance...all of the disadvantages of having a hangover and none of the fun of the night before!; April 10, 2009 at 9:11 PM

The Velveteen Rabbit

What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
