Happy Valentine's Day + New RED Shoes

Happy Valentine's Day from the SimplyJune studio! I have been busy needle felting Valentine's and eating heart-shaped Peppermint Patties. Yum. Kolya had a Valentine's party at school yesterday and came home with the cutest little Valentine's...you know the one's with the goofy knock-knock jokes featuring your favorite super hero. Love those.

Jason and I are celebrating tonight after bed time with some Chinese takeout and a movie. Simple and romantic for the parents of a toddler. It has actually always been my kind of date anyway. For some reason, the movie theater just doesn't do it for me. I have to sit in the way back even during comedies so as not to get woozy. Forget about taking me to an action flick. I also have to pee just at the thought of not being able to. :) I'm such a girl... Anyway, so...my couch...a remote control...Chinese take-out....what more could a girl ask for?

Oh, and look what shiny, red, new goodness arrived on my doorstep today! New RED shoes! I've been searching far and wide for the perfect pair of red mary janes and here they are and so comfy too! Oh, and they came packed in the BEST foam for needle felting...I'm such a crafting geek.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Anthropologie Wish List

I just realized the other day that there is a wish list on the Anthropologie website ... brilliant! Of course, there should be a "select all" feature as everything in that store is just more beautiful and unique than the next, but here are the highlights on my wish list...

I am reallying loving birds right now and need to add a few to the sparrows already flitting around my kitchen walls...

Bird Watcher's Pillow, Neutral
(Paired with the following pillow on a comfy chair...love the ruffle and tweed)

Bird Watcher's Pillow, Rose
(Embroidery and Patchwork...something I would make if I had the time to indulge...)

blue finches dishtowel
(Have to have... really just not an option.)

counting birds wall art
(Delightfully fun...just noticed a set framed at my friend "Z's" house too! )

Racha Trivet
(Mmm...I can smell the pie cooling on this right now...)

retro kitchen timer
(I keep adding retro splashes to our kitchen...loving this retro red.)

nestling measuring cups
(Delightful colors...seriously can you bake without a set of these?)

mistral eau de parfume

Wild Blackberry (Purple): a heady cocktail of berries and grenadine topped with a dash of vanilla
(I try this one every time I visit their store...I'm sure I'm responsible for using at least half of the tester bottle!)
