from here and there

I'm home for a couple of days - lots of time to browse around the internet.
Thank you to d.Sharp Journal for this:



Fascinating, no? I never gave marionettes much thought, though I do love to watch people busy at their craft.

Filed under: Isn't It A Lovely Thing? Jen has sent me real paper catalogues from her visit, in England, to Toast. Perfect for a lazy day. (And I've missed wishing her a Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday, Jen!)
I have fallen in love with this robe. This dressing gown. This bathrobe.




I suspect that Toast, for me, is what Anthropologie is for my Australian friends. Unattainable, yes?
Perhaps the next time I am "flush" I shall propose a trade: an item of your choice from Anthro in exchange for one of my choice from Toast.
Don't worry. You have oodles of time to think on it as I am not foreseeing "flush" in my near future.

I like these curtains, I thought I'd mention. I still need to do a de-crappify on certain rooms in my house. Remind me later, okay? Last weekend I put away all the winter things. Been busy is my point.

We have a table like this



in our living room. I think I should do something similar.



And these. I like these.
