Learning All the Time

I added a Pinterest button today. I'm pretty excited about it for a few reasons: A) I can take you there anytime if you click the button and B) It's so addicting, now I have it here and in my bookmarks bar. Woo hoo! And, C) I feel pretty tech savvy suddenly.

I took photos of our oranges. Winter Wonderland around here but it seems we are the only ones without a Christmas Tanenbaum. Unfortunately, we have to wait until later in the month because our favorite critter - Furio - gets angry at the tree and us every Christmas, so he likes to express that anger by having a pee under the tree. ACK!

My latest acquissition is a vintage knitting book. It's hilarious. It's also useful if you're a knitter. It'll be for sale soon on the poppies and paperbacks Etsy site (as soon as I have one)!

Can you believe the original price? Can we get anything for $.35 anymore- anything?

A New Blog

I love La Bottine! It's a joy to be sure. But sometimes I feel just a little limited. So, I've decided to take another leap and create this; a platform less structured than the wedding blog.

Poppies and Paperbacks is just the thing. I'll be writing about lifestyle, film, design, gastronomy, travel, fashion, art, handmade and me. Yeah, me too!

For goodness sake, I may even mention my kitty now and then! And, lipgloss, yup, perhaps even lipgloss!
