Marvelous Snacking

We are in the midst of putting up an intricate show (crinoline, constant four part harmonies, ballot counting, harmonica playing, go-go boots, octave jumping, audience participation, and a multitude of step-touching) in a very short period of time.

The Marvelous Wonderettes - Saint Michael's Playhouse

That calls for some serious snackage.

The four gals agree upon the deliciousness of this new product:

Chip'ins - Popcorn Indiana

We will happily incorporate the bags into the show (both acts!) in exchange for some free product. Do I smell a sponsorship? Chip'ins presents The Marvelous Wonderettes!

Wonderettes on a five - getting our Chip'in fix

Oh Chip'ins, we think you are marvelous.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough

What I will traverse for coffee in the morning:

 

Caution!

Let's Make A Deal

I've been coveting these sandals all of 2011.

Loeffler Randall Lila Twisted Mignon Sandal

But that is a lot of pesos for some shoes...

Cheery Cherries

Someone reminded me of these today:

Rainier Cherries

I think cherries are the happiest fruit.

Learning is Dangerous

I know mentioned THIS before, but I am really concerned about the person who writes my Spanish word of the day email blasts.

For example, is this really the best sentence for "glue"?

Good morning! Here's your Word of the Day from Transparent Language.

Spanish word:	pegamento
English translation:	glue
Part of speech:	noun

Example sentence

Spanish:	Elegí una mala semana para dejar de esnifar pegamento.
English:	I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Feeling Blue

But not in a morose sort of way. No, no, no. In a cerulean meets turquoise who happens upon cornflower that relays back to teal kind of way. That was confusing. Just see below.

Girly to the extreme:

Date Night Solid Ring - Kate Spade

Paired with matching nails? Or maybe just on the toes.

Loch Ness Mystery - Scotch Naturals Watercolors

When you can't pick a blue. How cute would this be with a simple white tank?

Lido Light Skirt - Anthropologie

Loving the "something blue" wedding shoe trend among 2011 brides.

Manolo Blahnik

Al fresco dining. I might like this even more because of the name.

Lucie Carafe - West Elm

Splash art:

125 Swimming Pools - 20x200.com

The real thing is even better:

Hermitage Bay - Antigua

This vacation-ready tunic could double as a cover-up:

Cascade Tunic - Calypso St. Barth

Summer+Stripes=a loving duo.

Magid Thin Stripe Hobo - endless.com

Back home, I would happily display these vintage inspired blue appliances:

Martha Stewart Blue Collection - KitchenAid

Would love a dress form in an unexpected color. I guess step one would be learning how to sew...

Wheeled Linen Dress Form - Urban Outfitters

A hose? Yes, a hose. But a BLUE hose!

Sunken Pool Garden Hose - Terrain

Singing the blues never felt so happy.
