What I'm Reading This Week #14

Annnnd we're revving into Friday. source I must start with a teary goodbye to Val Kilmer.  No lie, three days before he passed I got the song " How Silly Can You Get " from the movie Top Secret in my head out of nowhere.  I hadn't seen a reference, heard anything about him and definitely hadn't heard that song in 20+ years.  I said to the Mr "I wonder how Val is doing?" then I soon got my answer.  I remember seeing Top Secret at the drive in with Mom when it came out.  When Real Genius came out on HBO, it was one of the few movies my Dad and I bonded over, is in my top five movies of all time and is the Mr and I's love language after I make him king of the winter carnival.   source Anyone who followed Val's career and personal life over the decades knows he got a little out of the box and didn't settle for norms which also included his approach to his throat cancer.  He lived authentically himself which is something we all hope to say when o...

What has made you squee lately?

      Yes, as noted by the PB dishes. Sigh. But maybe those didn't work out because these were waiting in the wings. (Get it...wings. They're birds. Never mind)

    I love those dishes too! Very pretty. Is it just me, or is that long tray just made to hold a loaf of Brown Butter Banana Bread???

    Those are so pretty. The pattern is so delicate looking and timeless. I hope they are as pretty in person as they are online!

    Those are so pretty and my mom has this Country Farmhouse French Chich thing going on - I should put these on my Christmas list for her.

    What has made me squee lately is totally replacing and painting a new front door with windows a happy green.
    only minor construction was involved lol. https://wanderlustingbydesign.com/2016/09/29/making-an-eh-door-the-door/
