Is anyone else beside themselves with excitement now that the commercials for Ikea's 2005 catalog are airing on tv? In previous years I've always filled out a form on their website to receive a copy of the catalog (last year's arrived thoroughly mangled - ugh!). I went to do that again today, but there's a note saying that mail requests must wait until mid-September ... very sad!
I've developed a fascination with Ritzenhoff wares lately. A few months back, Chris started collecting the pilsner glasses, and since then, they seem to be popping up in more places! Our first ones came from a local wine shop, but we found them in a stationary/curio shop over the weekend, and my sister insists that they're available at Le Gnome at West Edmonton Mall. I can't say that I've been consuming alcoholic beverages lately, but there is a cute set of water glasses and milk glasses. There's one with a cartoon of Catwoman that I'm partial too, but try finding it amongst the sizeable collection!
Interestingly, the egg cups that I received at Easter were also Ritzenhoff ...
It's five months in the clink for Martha the Great. I loved that her undying fans amassed at the courthouse with their various wares. The Save Martha website has a lot of goodies listed, but I was most impressed with the gentleman who made a ball-and-chain handbag with "Save Martha" emblazoned on it. I think the designers is going to sell some of those on eBay ...
Was it just this past Monday that Martha was back in the news? Something about rejecting a motion to have her charges thrown out? If so - how ironic! That was the night that I watched the Great Domestic Showdown.
I also can't believe that I'm saying this, but I am tempted to buy a copy of Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weightloss Solution Cookbook. I caught a re-run of his show yesterday, and the recipes looked kind of tempting!
I'll be posting more often at Mommapalooza for the next little while, if I get a few moments on the computer. Sadly, no housekeeping, gardening, or crafty stuff will be going on at my place for a few weeks, at least!
But here's another update on the calla lilies:
