A few things that make me smile

Love Lane
The thought of living on Love Lane,
a lady bug landing on the teeny tip of your finger,
mashed potato martinis,

this adorable bunny,

casually bumping into a zombie,
finding love notes around your apartment,
dancing in dressing rooms,
pretty aprons at restaurants,
a new batch of twos,

cat, cat, cat, cat, llama,
and going barefoot no matter how dirty the road is!

  9. Love two dollar bills! They are so lucky I think. I carry one in my wallet and when I feel the luck 'wearing out' I find a new one somehow and replace it!

    The cats and llama pic is so cute and hilarious!

    Those aprons remind me of the aprons my grandma in Kansas sent me and my sisters for Christmas! Thanks for reminding me of my sweet gma.

  10. @ wallflower- you never ever ever see $2 bills! Whenever I use them, most store owners think they're fake because you just never see them.

  11. Ah, going barefoot! I love it!

    Everybody's looking at you when you do it in the village, but it's such a lovely feeling... I should do this more often. :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ohhh I had no idea! That's weird though, they don't make the right amount of something?

    U.S. money has always been quite an enigma to me.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I just got some new twos too! Very exciting! I haven't seen any in YEARS.

  14. Love the lady bug and love lane : ) And is that Hicks street right beside it?

  15. Love Lane looks fantastic, and i wish it was hot enough to go barefoot here in Trondheim (Norway), but no such luck yet. But soooon. (: Thanks for a lovely blog full of inspiration, dreams, colors and joy. I know that I am going to buy lot's of paper and start decorating my walls when vacation set's in. Again, THANKS, for you just being you (:

  17. The first house I ever lived in was on Love Lane! Not surprising, it had a willow tree, a super cute backyard, and neighborhood cats prowling the vegetable garden. Thanks for the Wednesday smile!

  26. I honestly didn't think they even made US $2 bills! In Canada they had them for years--until they decided to give us more weight to carry and made them into $2 coins instead.

    Anyway. I digress. Super cute post.
