Fall for the Gap

Vanessa

Every time I see the smiles of women like Lauren Hutton, Vanessa Paradis and Georgia May Jagger I find myself wishing for a little gap between my two front teeth.  Am I the only one?  Forget braces, these ladies’ smiles are tops in my book.

Coolest Map Ever.

This large signed silk screen print is of a hand drawn (wow) map of the world.  Created by Oliver Jeffers (great name, right?) for The Royal We, the print is not only charming, but also “comes with 202 pins to chart your path to total global domination.”  Hilarious!  Let the games begin…

Birthday Thoughts…

J6v0MLmQWoi59wt1Mx6nnKGro1_500

I’m twenty-four today, my how time flies!  Sadly I’ll be spending it solo as John is away building houses with Habitat for Humanity (yes, he’s forgiven).  I’ve never spent a birthday alone, but am determined to keep my chin up (and talk to all my faraway friends on the telephone!).  I’m trying to remind myself of all I have to look forward to—moving to San Francisco (it’s almost decided), officially becoming Katie Armour, decorating a new apartment, perhaps adopting a second pug (I dream of having several like Valentino and the Duchess of Windsor…wouldn’t that be grand?).  Now I’m off to take Alfred for a walk in the sunshine and treat myself to a cupcake at the bakery round the corner.  Perhaps today won’t be so bad after all…

How do you celebrate your birthdays my lovelies?
