Not-so-guilty pleasures

July 5, 2016 By Tamera Alexander

I recently visited a local farmer’s market and found some wonderful treasures. Not antiques this time, but some lovely finds I’ll be buying again.

Look at these pretty homemade cards!

I like sending unique note cards to friends, but I’m simply not creative in this way. So I appreciate “sharing” the talents of others who are!

Look at the detail in the old stamps! Katherine (who happens to be a reader, a nice discovery!) says she buys them from Etsy.

Katherine Wright is a delight! And she’s so talented.

Katherine also arranges flowers! I tell ya, she’s one talented woman!

At that same farmer’s market, I found these! And oh mama, are they fabulous!

All natural soaps that smell divine!
My favorite so far? Geisha!
And they leave your skin so soft and smooth. I’m in soap love.

And finally, some of you have written me on my Facebook page asking about Murphy.

So…a #Murphycam update:

I really love it when it he does this. Especially since I’m trying to finish a book!

 

Murphy’s doing great, and we’re growing to love him more every day. Admittedly, I’m really eager for him to outgrow the teething stage and to stop chewing on everything in sight. Sheesh! But we’re nearly there. He turned five months old yesterday, so another month and all the adult chompers should be in.

So there are some of my recent not-so-guilty pleasures.

What are some of yours? 

Blessings on this Tuesday,

Tammy

    Those note cards are gorgeous! And I’m a soap fan, too. Soap is one of my favorite things to buy as a “memento” when I travel. Once I return home, I can enjoy it (and remember my trip) for weeks afterward. 🙂

      Me too, Becky! On buying it as a remembrance. I don’t have to dust it for years and then eventually give it to GoodWill in a decade. : ) I do that with dishtowels too. Practical and fun!

    Those notecards are just gorgeous, Tammy! Makes me want to send you a gift just so you’ll have to write me a thank-you! 😉

    And oh, that Murphy is SUCH a cutie!

    Love those notecards. Pretty stationary is one of my guilty pleasures. I have so many I’ll likely never use them all 🙂 You little guy, Murphy is super cute.

      Yay! We share a not-so-guilty pleasure, Diana. Note and letter writing is getting to be a lost art, isn’t it? Sad to say. Thanks for sharing!

    The cards are lovely. I love making cards, but am busy this time of year doing outside things. I love homemade soaps also. Blessings!

      So you’re one of “those” creatives, huh, Lucy? Good for you! Blessings in return, and thanks for visiting today.
