String Me Along: Food Love

http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2013/02/food-love.html

I make no secret of the fact that I love to eat. Food is a celebration. It should amuse all our senses. Taste is of course important, but it should also please the eye. Yesterday I enjoyed a course of jewel tones. Rich amethysts and emeralds with a taste both sweet and sharp. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Life Through My Lens. String Me Along's Etsy Shop.

String Me Along: It's Spring!!

http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2012/03/its-spring.html

Officially. It's here. SPRING! Normally, I would be a little tickled to look at my calendar and notice those little words typed at the bottom of the date telling me that the day had finally arrived. But, today I am truly puffed up with excitement at the arrival of this wondrous new season. Spring could not have arrived in grander style. To make the most of the new season, I made a hasty jaunt to the still-bare garden centres and stocked up with (not enough) potting soil. The first of my container veg...

String Me Along: June 2013

http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

It was a rush of inspiration, fueled by panic, prompted by a simple request - "We'd like to try anything you have that's new.". For the past year and a half String Me Along Jewelry. Has been sold at the Gallery Shop of the Art Gallery of Sudbury, in Ontario. When placing their Spring order, they asked for new products. I felt a rising dread. I've been . what? Hard to say, but the answer was simply that I had not had any new product in ages. And that suddenly seemed like a serious shortcoming. On top of t...

String Me Along: Love Day

http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2013/02/love-day.html

I have a confession to make. Secretly, a little bit, I really love Valentine's Day. It is a little bit about the chocolate, but its more about the kitschiness of the day. But then, I am a product of the 70's, a time when Valentine cards left in school-desk mailboxes didn't need to be politically correct, were loaded with bad puns, and were truly garish in design. It was an amazing time then! Here are a couple favourites I found:. Or should I say "eggs-ellence"! This one is interesting. She seems to b...

String Me Along: Bugs

http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2012/06/bugs.html

I will tell you now that if you are at all squeamish, turn back now! I was fortunate enough to sneak out of work early one day this week - no, wait, that is not at all what happened. I was stupid enough to commit myself to a half day of work on my day off! When I left the day was glorious sunny, a true bright spot in a week bookended by three day bouts of heavy rains. Immediately, I panicked! AH and herein starts the conversation that took place between crazy, insanne me (CIM) and rational me (RM). Strin...

String Me Along: Tall Ships

http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2012/07/tall-ships.html

I know absolutely nothing about boats and ships - starboard, what? Except that they are awesome. The bigger and old-timier the better. If they inspire illusions of pirate booty and scurvy they become more intriguing still. So, imagine my delight when I discovered that the Tall Ships Festival was being held in Halifax this year. I can state with some certainity that I do love the solemn guidance of a ship's figurehead. Here are two from the ships we viewed today. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

String Me Along: April 2012

http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

We were asked to cat-sit a few weeks ago. My husband has a mild allergy to cats so I really didn't expect him to oblige, but sometimes he surprises me. So two sweet cats, Bella (aka the fat one) and Jade (aka the little one) came to stay with us for a week. Here are some photos of the visitors. This is Bella. She knows where to find a cushy spot to sleep. She simply stole the little nest that Jade had made by stamping down the cushions on the back of the couch. This is Jade at her most fierce!

String Me Along: Spring Really IS on the Horizon

http://stringmealong-carol.blogspot.com/2013/02/spring-really-is-on-horizon.html

Spring Really IS on the Horizon. If I keep telling myself this, it is bound to be true. In actual fact though, there are small little hints of it if you know where to look. For example, look past the 2 foot snow drifts that have collected around the bottom of the gardens. Focus instead on the fact that each day the amount of daylight hours seems to expand by at least five minutes. That's a good sign, right? Acknowledge that this exists:.
