RTFM

Yes, I do love to read manuals. Even farging manuals. And I love to read the destructions before I do something. However...I was raised in a duct-tape and bailing-wire kind of family and we are not apt to do things exactly as they are proposed.

How does this relate to blogs and blogland? Well, I've been tagged by yellowfish and it looks like I'm supposed to reveal 7 random and interesting things about myself. Since I am not at all interesting (although I "am* rather random), I'm going to put my little spin on the tagging and list pictures of 7 things that I want/need/love. It's very retail-therapy-ish. So, here goes...

Earrings from yellowfish. When am I buying them? I don't know. Soon, I hope.



Salad servers from GiveSimple. Impossibly cute. And no kidding, there are plates and bowls to match, too. I so love them.



Beautiful fabric from Repro Depot. I'm going to staple it to canvas stretchers, hot glue a ribbon around the edge to hide the staples and hang it in my dining room. Someday.



A rug made of river rocks from Viva Terra. No explanation needed. Love.



I love patterned shoes no matter how impractical and uni-tasking they may seem. These are from Indigo by Clarks .



Adorable skirt from Boden . I love it with the blue top. That way, it doesn't seem so matchy-matchy.



And some pretty yet funky letterpress stationery from Pressure .



There! Seven fun things. Now comes the tagging part. I'm tagging Katie and Karen Beth and decklededgebindery and callooh callay on the Snicker-Snack blog and Betsy and Cindy

Well first, beautiful things. And second, CHICKEN! Well, OK, since you included the cool rock rug and spoons we'll let you get by without anything too personal.

And thanks for the tag! Yuck--I'll see what I can come up with.

How much fun! I've done this meme before but not with your retail twist so I will do it again... next week sometime if that is okay. Love the retail twist! You've hooked me in!

The fabric is so cool! Is it Marimekko? I think it is... I have a Marimekko totebag with that pattern on the front in stark black and white. Love it! So pretty!

Great list!

Great post. I actually found you through Yellow Fishes blog and she was the first thing I saw on yours! That's wonderful :)

Guess what... Tag! Your it! (I didn't start this, just following the rules!) Here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
