I've been on a vacation for the last week and a half, though you probably wouldn't know it since I sneakily scheduled posts in advance for most of the days I was gone. We paid a visit to friends in the Pacific Northwest, and while there we took a stroll through Seattle's Fremont neighborhood. The storefront window signs asking zombies not to get blood on the merchandise were mystifying until we began seeing increasing numbers of decked-out undead wandering the streets. Those shop owners weren't kidding. We'd accidentally timed our visit to coincide with a zombie block party. We also spent some time hiding out in a cabin in the Cascades where most places we went looked like the scene above and were zombie-free.
A brief visit to Portland was lots of fun, and I couldn't leave without this handmade bag from Queen Bee Creations. The bag and I are now inseparable. In fact, we both got rained on last night and the bag held up like a champ.

This to That is a little website that tells you what kind of adhesive works best for gluing various materials together. "Because people have a need to glue things to other things." Yep.
I'm a little late to the party on this one since the original post is from January, but I'm compelled to ooh and aah publicly. These are little shortbread button cookies. They're adorable, as is the printable recipe with lovely calligraphy and illustrations. Get it here from Forty-sixth at Grace. 
Browsing through the blog Agence Eureka is a fascinating way to kill an hour. It's a collection of scanned vintage labels, alphabets, coloring books, posters, matchbooks, and more. Head over there and click on any image to view larger.
Take a quiz at Ethan Allen to determine your decorating style (or most likely, your decorating style as it best fits within the catalog of Ethan Allen products). Kind of fun, because you get to look at pretty pictures. I was diagnosed as Metro. And you?
