Craftiness meets nostalgia

Back at it again. I forget to update this (as you can tell by the six-odd month gap), sorry.
My apartment is finally *just about* where I want it. One of my newest additions is the following:



Another blog I follow had a tutorial a while back about these wreaths made from book pages. I wanted to make one for sometime, but never got around to it. Recently I just sat down with an old hardback (apologies to the author of The Witch of Cologne) and my staple gun and went to it. When I finished I added an old record to the middle to finish it off. I love how it looks over the fireplace.

My Favorite Summer Salad is BACK!

When I lived in SLC, we would go to MacCool's to get a Su Tallin salad. Today, being the most Irish of all days, I decided to make it myself.

This is how I make it:
1 c. Lettuce (your choice, I use romaine, but mixed greens is good too)
1.25 c. strawberries whole (then cut them up after you measure)
4 pecan halves broken up
2 tsp ff raspberry vinaigrette



A TRUE Su Tallin has bleu cheese (bleck) so, if you're so inclined, add it.

Either way, it's YUMMY!
