Sombrero Sheets January 25, 2012 No Comments

If you’ve been around here awhile you know that I often go on, what I call, ‘spending freezes.’ Just as it sounds, a spending freeze is a money-spending hiatus. This practice began last year with my New Year’s resolution to make thoughtful purchases. I found that holding the funds back really helped me evaluate the [...]

Welcome to MN October 7, 2011 No Comments

I mentioned I got a new bike but forgot to share pics. And of course I decided to snap some while it’s dark out so I’ll ask you to use your imagination to get the full effect. I’m hoping this little October heat wave lingers a bit longer so I can break this bad boy [...]

Breakfast Blackout August 30, 2011 No Comments

Over breakfast this morning I temporarily lost control of my mind and body, regained consciousness five minutes later and found an email confirming my order from Kate Spade. I swear aliens took over my body for those few minutes, but I’m sure glad they did. I had been eye-ing the Candy Darling Emanuelle for months [...]

Two for Tuesday 8.16 August 16, 2011 1 Comment

This week’s Two for Tuesday comes from a familiar name in the blog world, the one and only Sharon Montrose. Being a sucker for a good deal my sister and I teamed up last week to take advantage of The Animal Print Shop‘s buy three, get one free sale. I, after much debate, got these [...]

Back from Sandwich May 23, 2011 3 Comments

I’m kicking myself right now. In an attempt to avoid the torrential downpours last night I dragged my Sandwich Antiques Market desk purchase inside before snapping pictures out of doors with oodles of natural light. So what you get now are some semi-blurry, kind of janky indoor pictures but I think you can grasp the [...]

Good Deal: Jacob Lysgaard May 5, 2011 1 Comment

You guys might remember this post from the end of last month about the very talented Jacob Lysgaard. Well apparently he’s not only talented but he’s generous too. He has gotten in touch with me and is offering all ebb & flow readers a discount of 25% on anything and everything in his shop! When [...]

Coming Home April 13, 2011 9 Comments

I had a major blond moment today. As discussed yesterday I have fallen hard for this dress. I spotted it online, but based off my previous history with H&M products I decided to check it out in person. The list price online (or so I thought….) was 19.99 so I had a feeling this item [...]

It’s a sale. A big sale. February 15, 2011 2 Comments

I just got an email about the Kate Spade sample sale going on right now and nearly fell out of my seat. I think one of these two beauties may be calling my name. Well, they both are, but I’m not buying both. They’re marked down to $189 from $495 and $425. I think that [...]

Burning Rubber February 8, 2011 No Comments

Bad news, friends. As I grabbed my computer this morning to head off to work I heard a horrible noise, smelled burning rubber and my machine has been in a coma ever since. There are some strange noises lingering still but no signs of returning to life. It’s not looking good. I have an appointment [...]
