Thursday Tunes: Vince Gill

Last Thursday, we were in Nashville, TN. We had tickets to Bluegrass Night at the Ryman Auditorium. They have bluegrass shows on Thursdays during the summer, and this was the first of the year - featuring Vince Gill. It was really great. The bluegrass was fun, and Vince is so easy to listen to. You can sample his music on his myspace page.

Masking Tape Quilt

Sara told me about this great project on the Purl Bee. They've been posting a mini quilt of the month pattern, and this Masking Tape Quilt was March's. It doesn't seem to be too difficult - just a matter of getting all of the pieces lined up. Very cute.

Blown Glass

After visiting my sister Sara's house, I was inspired to buy this beautiful blown glass drop at Olive & Dahlia on 25th Street in Ogden (she has a few lovely ones). I also got this cute little bird. I think they'll look great hanging in front of a window.

HEMNES cabinet

It seems like I've been gathering a lot of odds and ends lately, and they need to find a home. I would love to get this HEMNES cabinet from IKEA. It's clean and simple and would do the trick!

Thursday Text: Watership Down

I am currently reading Watership Down by Richard Adams. It's a British novel from the '70s about rabbits. I am really enjoying it. Have you read it? If so, don't spoil it for me!

Richard Ginori Folkware

A recent issue of House Beautiful introduced me to the Richard Ginori 1735 web site. I really love the folkware line of tableware. It's so bright and happy.

MYdrap Luncheon Napkins

I think I saw these in Better Homes & Gardens. MYdrap luncheon napkins are 100% cotton napkins that you tear from a roll and use through six washes and then compost. They are beautiful and biodegradable! You can get them in a variety of colors on Amazon.

How to Tie a Scarf

My husband returned from a trip to Turkey last week, and he brought me two beautiful scarves. I really wanted one, but I haven't been sure how to wear one. Scarves.net offers video clips demonstrating 37 ways to tie a scarf. Maybe I can be a scarf-wearer after all!

Friday Featured Etsy Seller: Charm Packs

I know I've been posting a lot about fabric lately, but I am thinking a lot about sewing and discovering lots of great patterns. The Etsy shop Charm Packs is a great resource - especially for Moda designs.

Thursday Tunes: Sondre Lerche

Have you seen Dan in Real Life? It's pretty funny. Sondre Lerche did the music. I'm still sampling his stuff, but I think I like it!
