{~*~Happy Love Day~*~}

While in a Thrift Shop I found this book called {the Persistence of Yellow} just waiting for me to open it up. The page I am showing here is the first I randomly opened, it too. It is something I needed to read. When I went to pay for it the checker looked at it and opened it to the same page. She loved it as I do. I've since found another one in a Thrift Shop and gave it to my daughter. The Link I highlighted in yellow will take you to amazon and you can see a few more pages of the book. It was written by Monique Duval and illustrated by Joanna Abbott Moss. Each illustration is one-line. She never lifts her hand from the paper while drawing so each one is a continuous connection. 5 Stars

{~*~Modular Seating Collection~*~}

I wanted to try and create storage in my loveseat like these ones at: {Modular Seating Collection}. I didn't though, but it is nice to know that someone created these pieces. I sat on the Corner and Armless Chair in the store and like them. There is storage in each piece. I forgot to check the weight of each one though.

{~*~Gift of a Juicer~*~}

This is a Christmas gift that I really like using a lot. It keeps out the seeds. The liquid measurements are also marked on the inside.

Before I cut the lemon, I push down on it while rolling it back and forth, to get more juice out of it when its juiced. I also use a zester before I cut the lemon, to take the peel off so I can use it for other uses.

The rice salad in my favorite vintage pie plate in the photo was dressed with olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Link to:{TCU} The Juicer is from Pier 1 imports. {Links}

{~*~Table Cloth Uses~*~}

I bought this vintage table cloth for $1.49 at a Thrift Shop and sketched out some ideas for uses. I also have some other table cloths that either I bought at garage sales or they were given to me. I am going to make some grocery totes out of this one. I have some white ones that could be made into a clothing for a little girl. Dress, skirt, top, jacket & hat. I think even a womans dress or skirt and hat. There are many possibilites. Click photo to get a closer look. Links to: {Tutorials at One Pretty Thing}
