White Teapot for Two

I'm a little teapot with the cutest shortest little spout. Found on etsy, on a shop called clamlab, this unique handmade teapot is too adorable to not feature. At 7" tall and large enough to hold 24 oz of water it is perfect for a tea party. It is also microwaveable and dishwasher safe.

 

Queued

I apologize for the lack of posts. I am in the hospital. This blog will run on queued posts for a while until I am home and well again. I hope you, my fair reader, are having sweet and lovely days.
Thanks for sticking with me; your support means a lot!

Sounds for a memory

Music plays in the background, something foreign from my native tongue, most likely Korean. Drops of rain splash against my window and roof. A click, click, clicking is heard several times as I try to get the camera to capture a picture, a moment, a memory, a piece of my heart...to share with you.

So Test Me June

Life is full of tests isn't it? Minor ones, major ones, some you can prepare for and others you never saw coming.

It feels good, doesn't it, to pass life's challenges I mean. But what if you know you're failing. It is possible to feel like a complete failure at some of the tests life throws at you. Or to feel tired of the constant preparation for the next big hurdle.

Take a deep breath. 

That's what I tell myself. As I stand outside watching the world change into a beauty of flora, I breathe in summer. I breathe in life.

 There are days when I want life to give me a break. Stop testing me I plead. I need time to just be, to breathe.

 But then I remember everyone shares this story. Everyone is being tested. And without a life's challenges how would I know what I was capable of. Would I love summer as much if I never endured winter?

 The hardships of life can be in there own way, rewarding. They draw out your strength. They help you get creative, assertive, aware.

With each test I come into a kind of summer, a self blossoming. And despite knowing there is another test just around the corner I take the time to breathe, to be proud of myself, and to reassure myself "I can do it"

 So if you must June, test me. Bring on your thunder storms and cloudy days. I won't begrudge you. Bring me rains for my garden. Help me blossom.

May 24 Moments of my day

In all honesty, I'm not in the mood to be crafty with my words. But all in all it was a good day. I had lunch with a friend. I ordered the fresh fruit waffle at Cora's, which was tasty but the highlight of my day was when I got a $34 mascara kit for only $5.70!!! I love deals and this one just blew my mind. The deal was a result of store points I had acculated. Apparently, my points added up to $60 dollars. However, I how I had to pay something for the item so I ended up getting $30 off, leaving me with only $5.70 after tax!!! Best bargain of the month!

On a side note: I also treated myself to some cheese cake, last week. It was good :)

Sounds of Spring

I hear the sounds of spring outside my window. The bees as they buzz hurridly to befriend another flower. The cry of flowers as they burst from the earth. The mellow wind brushing against the soft growing grass and the sound that moves me most...the rain--from its gentle tapping showers to its nearly wrathful pelts during storms. I listen. I get soaked in the hums, tweets, buzzes and dramtic thundering booms of spring. Even in the most quiet room, the world is singing a melody.

Tuesday Treasures

I've been feeling a strange low, something in me has been hollowed out. Rather than dwell on it, I'm keeping busy. Sometimes it helps, if only for a little for a little while. I don't have any specific product for this week's treasure. I'm simply treasuring my life, my friends and all little things you can't buy but make us smile.
