goodies in the mailbox.

january shipment - mercier beaucoup - oakland, ca

for christmas, my darling sister bought me a stationary subscription from the fabulous website, www.mercierbeaucoup.com. it is so fun to have a shipment to look forward each month. if you know someone who loves to send post mail, i highly recommend this gift. also, they are featuring many festive valentine's cards--ones that you just might not find at those other chain stores. check them out, and feel free to tell them that i sent you a'knockin'.

shiny and tiny. recyclable, too.

mylar reflection - time to celebrate - sf, ca

dare to put down the bottle. dare to pick up a pellegrino and converse as yourself. let's face it, drinking never got you anywhere but nowhere.

with humility.

something i put together - work - sf, ca

we are weakest in the places that we seek the greatest control.

learning that has been one of my greatest lessons of all.

let it in. let it out.

lighted peace sign - made by dad - napa, ca

how joyful the simplicity.

it snows on main street.

small world - disneyland - anaheim, ca

the magic of christmas lights!

the magic of believing in magic!

that day, santa, micky, minnie--the whole gang--was real.

take a moment.

serenity mug - by rae dunn - lifeisgood, ca

we are way too wired. i know that i check my iphone facebook app more than i'd like. and i can't resist checking the constant email stream, even when i'm at home attempting to relax.

we must disconnect so we don't lose our ability to relish silence completely. whaddaya say?

the holidays and all of the stuff they made.

gingerbread spatulas - sur la table - berkeley, ca

christmastime is the only time that i appreciate kitchy things. bring on the tree-shaped muffins and snowglobes. bring on the spirit of the season!
