where to go shopping

Oh, the joys of virtual shopping sprees! It's fun to fill up a virtual shopping cart with anything that suits your current whim, and when you're done, you can just click it all away. It sure beats having to ditch a real shopping cart in an actual store!

Here's my latest cartload, all from Furbish (and most of it VERY affordable!): 

That fabric!!

Clackity-clack bracelets

I'd love to see this with my antique Blue Willow

These, too

And these!

This is SOAP!

These nubbly dots would be a fidgeter's dream

WANT!

Hello, Miss Ugly!

Whoever said money can't buy happiness 

simply didn't know where to go shopping.

 I want these shoes:

Funny that a pair of really nice shoes make us feel good in our heads

 - at the extreme opposite end of our bodies.

with both hands

I LO VE these:

Wouldn't they make the greatest wedding or anniversary gift?! But which color? They're all so 

LO VE ly!

Available here. 

I am watching your chest rise and fall

like the tides of my life,

and the rest of it all

and your bones have been my bedframe

and your flesh has been my pillow

I am waiting for sleep

to offer up the deep

with both hands

Back To School!

Well, no - not me. But the end of summer (which is here, to my delight, and to the dismay of my cold-blooded friends and family) means back to school, and back to school always means ...

Shopping for school supplies, a favorite, time-honored ritual that should not be reserved exclusively for those actually returning to school!

Agenda/Planner and notebooks of 100 percent post-consumer waste and vegetable-based dyes, by EcoJet, at Delight:

Composition book, from Green Line Paper:

Recycled paper PostIt Notes and BeGreen Recycled Liquid Ink Rollerball Pen, @ Office Depot:

Paper clips made of recycled steel, @Staples:

To haul it all around, there's this PVC free Targus EcoSmart bag, constructed from 100% recycled polyester, recyclable plastic, and nickel-free metal finishings, @ Targus.com.
