I Really Enjoy…

September 29th, 2011 by Karen 11 Comments






…Taking pictures of food.

Some snapshots of the noms I picked up at the farmers’ market. Pictured above: Asian pears (so sweet, juicy and crisp!). Below: raspberries, tomatoes, two tiny cupcakes (red velvet and chocolate caramel) and kettle corn.

See anything you’d like to eat?

Shadowy Lady

September 28th, 2011 by Karen 3 Comments


I’ve been into taking pictures of shadows lately. Kooky, I know.

The shadow of the “V” shape on the upper left is of the oak tree Tabs got stuck in last January (thank goodness Wonder Woman was around to rescue him).

And that’s me in the lower right. My head’s pointy because I’m wearing an Aquis hair towel, LOL!

Because If You Want Rosemary…

September 27th, 2011 by Karen 21 Comments


…I’ve got rosemary.

The previous owner planted three rosemary bushes in the front yard, and now they’re out of control. I like it fine as an herb, but I’m not a ho for it like I am for basil.

Got any ideas for things to do with rosemary? Other than fish and potato dishes, I have no clue.

P.S. Remember the catnip plant my neighbor’s Russian Blue destroyed? That’s it in the upper right. It’s still hangin’ on!

First Time for Everything

September 26th, 2011 by Karen 18 Comments



This morning I jumped on the treadmill (it’s in a room on the second floor) and spotted this wild turkey on the roof ledge outside the window. Um, weird!

A bunch of them were chilling in the oak tree, too… Can you find all three?

Vintage MAC: The Barbie Loves MAC Collection, February 2007

September 25th, 2011 by Karen 19 Comments










It’s a blast from the past! Remember Barbie Loves MAC from 2007?

The one that started it all. My very first MAC obsession. I can still remember going to the counter and debating whether to buy backups of the two Beauty Powders (I never did).

The pieces here hold a special place in my heart because they were the subjects of the very first post here on MBB.


ZOMG!

I cringe a little when I see these old pics because at the time I didn’t know anything about photography. I know they’re a little blurry.

The pieces are old… Yes, I’m guilty of keeping makeup longer than I should, but 1) I like to have them around to reference, and 2) I think some products (like these) are collectibles.

Cute, yeah? Review coming soon!

Green is Good

September 22nd, 2011 by Karen 9 Comments


A few basil leaves from my garden.

I firmly believe that there’s no such thing as too much basil. 🙂
