Okay they aren’t exactly lilacs and buttercups but last weekend, after the flea market we stopped at a roadside stand selling flowers and picked out a few things for our mini garden. I finally found something to put in my Liberty of London planters which are now sitting proudly on our back porch/balcony.

I have to head back to this stand for a few more plants to fill out the garden and to see the adorable owl that they have just hanging out there.

I got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house
And we’ll collect the moments one by one
I guess that’s how the future’s done

Smitten Sticks are wonderful handmade paper expressions like mustaches and smiles, mounted on a stick for easy handholding. Created by Edyta Szyszlo and Vana Chupp, they are simple, playful and perfect for creating those fun moments just begging to be captured, whether it’s during a wedding, birthday party or any other memorable celebration.

The Designs pattern consists of two colorful bands of arches that sort of look like fishscales. The colors are a red orange and greenish gold. The pattern is only featured on two known pieces of Pyrex and the colors are reversed on the two casseroles. I have the larger (3 quart) pictured below and am still on the hunt for the smaller (1.5 quart) version.

Even though this pattern is only on two casseroles it is one of my favorites. It has a very modern feel and I wish it were available in more pieces like mixing bowls.
