now you didn't think i forgot, did you?
happy birthday mama worsley.
you bring such joy, comfort, inspiration, hilarious stories, good food {especially those crackers you whipped up the other day}, adventure {yes, i'm thinking about a bumper} and most importantly a friendship that we feel ever so blessed to have in our lives...
sniff. sniff.
you are adored.
and i wish you a most splendid year ahead....

well she's at it again...choosing a gut busting good time read for all!

scaredy squirrel
by: melanie watt {there's a fancy accent above the 'e' in melanie's name...boy, i wish my name had a fancy accent too. it would sound so much better!}
we can REALLLLLLLLY relate to scaredy squirrel around our house...as of late we have our own scaredy squirrel, mr. hugh. the poor babes has been bitten by fright! all of our artwork scares him...so our walls are bare....our refrigerator magnets scare him...the calendar scares him...the street lights scare him...men with beards, certain flowers, all froggies, horses with teeth, elephants, candle holders, zebras {and i am sure i'm leaving lots out}...all of those...scare hugh.
this will pass, right?
back to scaredy squirrel...
not only is the writing brilliant...but so are the illustrations. so when you rush out immediately to your corner bookstore to purchase scaredy squirrel...why not pick up this and this too!
thanks douglas...we are so lucky to have you!
i like this....it's pretty. it's simple. it's well...it's kind of serene.
and after a day at the beach...in the blazing sun...fighting with a seagull who apparently has a fondness for chickpea salad...
i could really use some serenity.
and do you know how i discovered hillary....
well, i was looking for new undies.
another story...for another day.my other like today is this
from justine's blog...
man, i love it. i kind of can't stop thinking about the picture...
it makes me feel like i'm spying on a very sweet moment that is full of comfort and passion...it's just lovely...or as justine writes, "pretty". hmmm...i wonder what the story is behind it...do tell jollyjollyjolly...do tell.
still waiting for the return of my camera...
but loving finding and rediscovering favourite inspirations...
like this
i'll have one of each thank you very much...
or maybe just one for each season..
okay...fine, i'll be very happy with just ONE!
worsley and i have a friend named...well we'll call her douglas {you know...her street name...literally}. douglas is talented in many, many ways...but if you ask us, we think douglas is most clever with choosing children's books. a mummy of 2 wee puddin' and pies, douglas is always reading and is always looking for beautiful books. often, worsley and i will ask her for recommendations and because she can offer so many...we sometimes aren't very bright at remembering each and every one! so worsley and i decided to dedicate one day a week to 'douglas reads'... where we will share with you one book hand picked by our queen of children's literature.

big momma makes the world
by: phyllis root
i have a tendency to go on and on when describing books {or movies} and mostly i recap way too many details to which usually bores the listener or ruins the ending...so i won't say a word other than...this book is perfect for a new mom...mom to be...or anyone who likes books {how about that for narrowing it down!!!}
enjoy.
i mean, LOOK at those booties. couldn't you just stare at them all day? i wonder what lucky pair of chubby or noodley feet will be tucked away in those cozy little kicks? man, i just love them.
well, if you must know...i am spending many minutes 'researching' baby do-dads in anticipation for worsley's little bundle. it brings me such pleasure and wonderment...so, my dear worsley...please indulge me as i show you my "worsley might like to have" latest finds...{note: i have many more...but i want to save some for later!}
here
and there
and ici
and la bas
can't forget this
and this one {the zipsuit at the bottom of the list} i was actually thinking for mr. m. {i'm pretty sure i had one JUST like it in powder blue denim!}. you know who also i could see wearing this...ms. j.
