Cruze Farm Girl!

Recently (and by "recently" I mean probably, August) a girl came into the store where I work.  She was obviously in Charleston for work as she wore a name badge on her ice cream sandwich-print dress (for sale here and TOO cute).  She said she worked for Cruze Dairy and after some quick investigation I found their adorable website: cruzefarmgirl.com  Their products look delicious--apparently they're known for their buttermilk and there are plenty of photos of ice cream and yummy looking smoothie drinks--and their employees have literally the cutest uniforms, maybe ever: 

I have always wished that Charleston had a local dairy and I'm super jealous of all the folks in Knoxville who get to enjoy all of Cruze Farm's treats. Yet another reason to plan a visit to Tennessee, and soon!

Whale

The cold weather is messing with my sensibilities.

I feel strangely insular and apt to lose track of time--and myself--in the minutiae of any given task.  Case in point: the above whale on which I spent far too much time, to memorialize a favorite line of "tv poetry," (which sure, isn't a thing, but whatever).

Also, as to my recent discovery of CVS brand peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets? -- Lord, Denise.

Sew Amazin

Alright,  so I'm emerging from my laziness cocoon to post about this lady's blog:

This summer I began watching Mad Men which resulted in me rabidly consuming the entire 4 seasons on Netflix and becoming obsessed.  Of course I fancy myself a Peggy Olson, and it was in searching through image banks Peggy's costumes for Halloween ideas that I found Julia Bobbin's blog.  The quality of the replica clothing she makes is pretty impressive, and they're all made for fun in between working her 9-5 job--inspiring!
