i decided to play along with mecozy's friday fives senses game.
first, some things you CAN see in this photo:
-some of the furniture that came with our apartment. not my taste, but it didn't make sense to buy an apartment worth of furniture for only two years.
-the mustardy yellow walls that i also probably wouldn't have chosen but now enjoy
-me
-some of the little treasures i've collected while in ecuador arranged tastefully in our dispay case
second, some thing you CAN'T tell from looking at this photo:
-the photo was taken after i ate a bowl of tomato soup for breakfast. -i added some fresh basil to the soup, partially for the smell, partially for the taste.
-i flipped through a copy of venus magazine while eating.
-i'm still hungry but we ran out of bread.
-after this post i am going to go and buy a new loaf.
-two airplanes flew by while i was taking the photo. the airport is in the middle of the city so when planes pass they are quite loud.
-i am once again wearing stripey socks. they match perfectly with my earrings from lisa.
actually, you can see the socks and earring in the above picture. i couldn't resist sharing.
on a different note, have you hear about dawn's new paper quilt project? i am lucky enough to be participating in the first month. i can't wait to get my paper!
have a great weekend!
tomato soup is a beautiful breakfast, you should be proud...today my breakfast consisted of Reece's Pieces.
I am not so proud...(shakes head in shame)

Ps: those earrings look so good on you. Besides the fact that I am sure earrings have always looked good on you because of your nice neck. I think that haircut is so good for showing off fun fabulous earrings....How are you? Banner? Let me know if I can help. xoxo

I like this game and might try to do a similar post in the future--so nice to envision all the things you can't see in a photo...nonetheless, so glad you shared the earrings & socks! Just love the red, especially the bluebell shape.

my niece eats left over homemade pasta for breakfast when she is at her nonna's house, she is 10. So I understand the whole savoury for breakfast thing.
I too am participating in the paper quilt an can't wait to see the goodies in the mail.
