Nice stuff + nice shop owner = happy M.

Buttons! Buttons! Buttons!

Work in progress

Yes, I know, the blog is a mess, the header is a mess (that is what happens when you trust your ipad to edit your blog) and everything is plain ugly.

Yes, I intend to fix it.

No, I don't have time to waste on this right now, so if you like the blog you will read and comment as if it looked lovely instead of this cra**y mess.

Thank you.

Friday's quote II

With Valentine's day still floating in the air, I was looking for a romatic quote and came by this quote by Mr. Oscar Wilde:


"if you are not too long, I will wait here all my life" 
 
 
The picture is from the wonderful Mr. Wonderful (I am addicted to all their designs). I was looking for the exact translation into English of the quote when Mr. Wilde surprised me with this:
 
“How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.”
 
Think not of it the misogynist side, which may be quite obvious but go for the "extraordinary". It made me smile. I think this quote may just have backfired on Mr. Wilde's face.

But here's a little sneak peek of what I've been about...

Friday's quote

Yay! New section, and this section is so effortless I may actually keep it.

Fridays are good days in general, work week over, people in good mood, afternoon of shopping or cleaning or any other thing that is not work. I love Fridays!

Fridays deserve a post.

Today's quote rests in a magnet on my mom's fridge. It hit me in a shop in New York some years ago and it has that powerful simplicity that makes you mull over it on and on. I felt it was the kind of quote that could make a good opening section post.

You know him, he was good with words this man, and a friend of the Doctor! So there in no need for further introductions. I am sure he will visit this section often.

To Friday! And to a nice relaxing weekend for you all.
