Have a relaxing weekend.

What are you up to this weekend? Alex and I are going to watch this short movie, just for fun. Also, our Christmas lights are still up around our apartment, and I think we're going to keep them up. Is that bad luck? Anyway, hope you have a wonderful weekend (stay warm!), and here are a fun great posts from around the web...

Lovely Indian coin pouches.

Btw, have you seen the movie Beginners? We just watched it, and it's great (and co-stars Christopher Plummer from The Sound of Music). Anyway, have a good one! xoxo

    Enjoy your weekend Joanna :)

    I thought I would pass along this photo, as you were the first person who popped into my head after I saw it. A woman in Italy took her seven week old daughter to work at the European Parliament:

  38. So many good links - thanks Joanna!
    I used to hang Christmas light us in all my apts - the light is so much gentler and cheery.
    Also, LOVED Beginners - such a sweet and touching film. I'm so glad it's getting awards recognition.
    Also LOVED the cat picture! I used to own a black cat - she was ridiculously smart and pretty sassy. With a little research, I also found some additional photos from this same audition that I thought you might find interesting: http://www.lovelornunicorn.com/2011/09/auditions-for-a-black-cat/
    Thanks again! Have a fine weekend!

    Also, glad to hear it about the makeup. It sounds like I would have been VERY stylish during my college days.

    Also, my blog is hosting a giveaway that I think is right up your alley (and the artist is based in NYC):

  42. Well, I've had a boyfriend who used to keep Christmas lights inside and outside his house.
    I remember the first time he explained where his house was, he told me I will have my Christmas lights on the balcony switched on, you won't miss it!
    He is doing pretty well as far as I know, so that can't really be bad luck!

  51. Headed into the city for my best friends birthday! It will be my first night away from my 9 month old since she was born! I am so nervous!!!! Hopefully the impending snow storm doesn't mess with my plans!

    ReplyDelete

  52. We have our Christmas lights up too-- my thinking is that the santas and presents and trees are gone, so the lights are no longer Christmas decorations per se...right? I mean, now they are just rainbow quirkiness...and rainbow quirkiness is never a bad thing~*
    And I adore Madwell and the other sites-- fantastic linkage!
