MMMm chocolate. Hotel Chocolat.

March 4, 2010

I need to tell you about this really fun and really delicious chocolatier on Newbury Street. Hotel Chocolat. A chocolate store, not a hotel. But boy, wouldn’t that be a treat if it was! Although, if it was a hotel I’m sure I would never be able to stay there for real. Only in my dreams. The chocolate is pretty pricy so I can only imagine what a night at the hotel would cost. It’s fun to think about though. Chocolate, chocolate, everywhere. I love chocolate. Yes I do. I got this little container of Tiddly Pots for a gift. So cute and so small! They are like little tiny buttons you might find on a cardigan. Perfectly sized. Perfectly delicious.
They have so many yummy looking treats and everything is so creative. I just love stuff like this. Great gift ideas for anyone who loves chocolate. MMmm. Mmmmmmm.

Kitchen fun.

March 3, 2010
I have been obsessed with accessorizing my kitchen lately. There are just so many adorable items to be had! And practical items too, of course. I’m especially interested in getting a dutch oven, only right now I simply don’t have the funds! Recently, while in NY, I discovered Sur la Table. Oh heavens. I think I could spend the night in that store. A nice little sleepover with all the cookware.
As far as accessories go, I’ve been adding small touches here and there with items from anthropologie. I’ve also found some really cute things at Marshalls/Home Goods. What a great store that Marshalls is.

For Christmas Meg wanted to give me this:


Only anthropologie messed up the order and this came instead:


It’s fun, except for I already have this:

You like, right? Me too.

So I returned the mix-up butterdish and got myself the cutest little measuring cups I ever did see:


Did you follow me through all that? Oh good. I hoped you would. And do you like the measuring cups?? I had a feeling you might like those too. If you come visit me, I’ll make you a delicious dinner and maybe use the measuring cups. OR maybe we could bake cookies and then we would definitely use the measuring cups. Just let me know when you’re coming. I’ll be ready.

Vacation!

March 3, 2010

At 9:15 tonight I will officially be on vacation. A whole 11 days!!

It’s spring break:
I don’t have school.
I don’t have to work.
Life is grand.

3 years ago I went to North Carolina on my vacation.
2 years ago it was California. Glorious.
Last year we went to Washington, DC. I was a tourist and it was awesome.
This year…. this year I’ll be sitting on my butt, watching Ellen and enjoying the fact that I am doing nothing. Absolutely nothing. I’m so excited about it. I love love LOVE going away on vacation, but this year I am so busy with school and volunteering and babysitting I just literally need a break. So I’ll take it!

The Friday Night Knitting Club

February 27, 2010

I stayed up late last night to finish this book and I was in tears by the end! It’s about a strong woman named Georgia who is raising her teenage daughter alone in New York. She owns her own business- a knitting shop where the real magic of the book begins. The Friday Night Knitting club is formed with a few random acquaintances (all knitters or at least want-to be’s) meeting to knit, eat, and enjoy each other’s company every Friday night. Throughout the book you get to know each of the characters and their struggles and triumphs. By the end you get a glimpse into each of their lives and learn the value of love, friendship, and appreciating who you are.

I liked this book, especially the main character Georgia. An emotional ending, but one where when I closed the book I had a warm feeling inside. That’s what this book is like, a warm cozy blanket keeping you satisfied. I don’t knit, but after reading this book I sure wish I did. Overall a good read, one I will definitely recommend to my book club.
