"things that make me smile" wednesday.

Before I divulge the list I have been sitting on all week.....HOLD THE PRESSES. What I am about to show you is the most freaking perfect amazing idea ever. Especially for book/library/liquor lovers. Below is what looks like a simple, vintage card catalog.

When she sent this to me yesterday (internet maven that she is), the saint's response was, "That is the coolest f...ing thing I have ever seen!"

IT'S A FRIGGEN MINIBAR!

My response?


EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday's feature on ApartmentTherapy.com was an installment entitled "Using an old card catalog as a bar." There is even an older installment where the idea was to use the catalog as a wine-cellar. Brilliant!
Now to find a card catalog...wanna break into the library with me?


Sigh. Back to the "Things that make me smile" Wednesday list.
Otherwise known as the "it-hurts-my-feelings-that-something-so-beautiful-exists-and-i-do-not-own-it."

This first entry is from the TheNoisyPlume, of course.
(Did you know I have an RSS feed to her shop so I can get instant notifications of her new pieces? Even WITH that in place, her jewelery gets sold within seconds!)
Prairie Soul Ring
(yes, it's way sold, i know. i spend a lot of time looking through her sold items).


I have so been jonesin' for a spring dress infusion in my wardrobe. This would do perfectly!

It's no secret that I love to write. Friends have recommended that I acquire a typewriter, and although I would LOVE the sound of keys banging out the occasional poem or letter, I feel it would be terribly unused. But then I remembered electricity and I am thinking this one would be PERFECT. (It also matches my orangy workspace).

I lost my gloves. You know. Everyone knows. I found a pair that I love even more! You may ask (not you, of course) why I would want gloves on a spring wish list. I would answer...Seattle.

In the recent rearrangement of our living room, there is a little corner that needs anchoring. I have been wanting a footstool or a bench for it and am loving this one.

Hope you find something to smile about today.
