Things I love

I love this bracelet. Sorry about the crappy pictures, but I love this bracelet. I made it wish pretty rectangular garnet beads (from patriciasartgallery which now appears to be empty) and brass chain and findings. Then, to keep the clasp at the bottom of my wrist I added a gorgeous brass bunny charm I got from geelizzietwo.I love it because, obviously I love bunnies, but also because it's a simple bracelet that looks perfect with a lot of my outfits, especially the raspberry-purple shirt I'm wearing today.

I went shopping at IKEA this weekend. I found a cool vase for $2 ... and decided to get a fish to put in it!Isn't he adorable? He's a betta, or a Siamese fighting fish, and clearly a brilliant shimmery blue. One of his front fins is smaller than the other, which makes him that much cuter. I'm still not sure what to call him... I was thinking Sensei, to honour his Asian roots, but I also like Senor. I've been calling him that in the meantime... it just rolls of the tongue. Senor. heehee

Also while at IKEA (I had a gift card from grad and needed cutting boards, which I did get) I also got a new cover for my IKEA couch. Before it was red: Now it's navy:I know the lighting is terrible, especially in that old shot, but I really think the blue changes the room. When I was washing the red cover a month or so ago, the couch underneath is an off-white. I liked that change too... really brightened up the room. I love how something so simple can really change the mood... I feel the blue is a little more cool and soothing for summer.

Anyway, that's all for now. I've received quite a few packages in the mail recently, so hopefully I'll have a blog up about that soon. In the meantime, have a wonderful week!
