You are One-Third Daffodil

Doesn't this book have a genius title (and excellent jacket design)?!  Talk about happily judging a book by its cover.  You are One-Third Daffodil is a clever compilation of little known facts about life and the world around you, meant to amaze and baffle you.  I love stuff like that!  I haven't picked up a copy yet, but I can't wait! 

Have you read any good books lately?  I'm in desperate need of something to immerse myself in but haven't been able to find anything worthwhile in recent months.  I have a Shelfari account, and I'd love to take a look at your "shelves" and add you as a friend if you do too.  Have a wonderful weekend!  xo Ez

Etsy Finds + Faves: 02. 26. 10

Hello lovelies!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend planned.  We're in the midst of a huge snowstorm here on the East Coast, so we'll be staying inside and keeping warm (and maybe baking a batch or two of these delicious Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies as well - I've already made them three times in the last week).  See you again on Monday!  xo Ez

Pretty and luxe (but rather muted) picks for the day.  I think the snow overload might have something to do with that:

• Fiji Dress in Dark Grey Wool - Modaspia
• Beach Umbrella Photographic Print - Levansphotography
• Vintage Gilt-trimmed Coco Settee - Bohemiennes
• Recycled Bay Map Paper Garland - KristinaMarie
• 5-pocket Okinawa Bag - Valhalla Brooklyn
