I stumbled across this invite somewhere sometime ago and saved it to my documents where i recently stumbled upon it again.

How could you not go to this party? Anyway, this invite immediately makes me think of my grandmothers old Jubilee cookbooks. Even when I was a little girl I liked to look through them and look at the illustrations. They looked much like this invite. I can’t find any Jubilee images on the googles! And my Grannys cookbooks are in her pantry five and a half hours away. Maybe next time I go down to visit I can do some scanning for you guys.

This morning I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours in Target, getting some props and whatnot for a couple of upcoming shoots. Here is a sneak peek of some of the things I bought. Not actual product images but dang close.



I was there around lunch time, so I went to the deli area to peruse the archer farmes ready made lunches. After much deliberation, I decided upon an option that looked a little like this.


This was the most perfect lunch ever. I gotta say. I had never eaten salami before and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I even called the husband – “Hey babe, whatch doin? Oh really? SALAMIS GOOD!”

Is it odd to say that watching Rosemarys Baby is like a breath of fresh air to me.
This is my favorite version of the book cover….maybe because its the one I had? An old Copy I found at a used book store, The Book Nook, in my home town. I miss that place.

We color coded our bookshelf. I am so over the shelves themselves I want some new ones. White or silver metal. Any suggestions?

I took a picture of my favorite book in each little shelf. Here is the first one.
Second one tomorrow.

I’m reading that HBO is planning on doing a pilot for a series based on the Pamela Des Barres book I’m With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie and that my girl Zooey is going to star. I don’t know if its true or not, but it sounds like a match made in heaven.

I have been running on the elliptical and watching Little Women. The 1994 version with Wynona.
I was nine when it came out. I bought it on VHS and watched it over and over. I loved Jo. (strong female lead! Ha!) “Well, of course Aunt March prefers Amy over me. Why shouldn’t she? I’m ugly and awkward and I always say the wrong things. I fly around throwing away perfectly good marriage proposals. I love our home, but I’m just so fitful and I can’t stand being here! I’m sorry, I’m sorry Marmee. There’s just something really wrong with me. I want to change, but I – I can’t. And I just know I’ll never fit in anywhere.”
Can you believe that I have never read the book? I know I can’t. After I am finished reading Stephen Kings Skeleton Crew and Patricia Cornwells Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper I should go snag a copy.
Vintage Christian Bale from this movie. Even at nine I loved Christian Bale.


I always despised Laurie for macking on Amy. How despicable.
