A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Sort of a perfect day

August 8, 2012

Almost perfect day

A collage from my day today…it was close to perfection.

– Running around the rose garden, K trying to read all the monikers; “French Perfume” (above) was my favorite. It smelled oh-so-chic.
– Taking a leisurely walk from the zoo back home. Snapping pix with my iphone. Lots of red: love the GMC bus (there was a futon in the back!), the bright crimson shop, a random “free” sign on a street. The text on the lower right says “Reds one”. I liked the pops of color of the Solstice Parade HQ.
– Homemade steamer with the works: whipped cream, sprinkles, milk mustache.

Other things that made me happy today:

– A latte at Milstead, one of my favorite haunts
– Purging, purging, purging. We squeezed in a Goodwill trip and dropped off bucket loads.

I love summer.
