A Cottage Industry is hosting the 2008 Summer Garden Tour. Such a lovely idea and I can’t wait to see all the photos. Alas, poor pitiful me sold her garden last year — and I do so miss it.

Just a few quickies before I head out the door on a marathon weekend of garage saling. It seems that every neighborhood in Colorado Springs has their community sales the weekend before Memorial Day. Note to organizers — it would be helpful if you’d spread them out a bit!
Another benefit of my old profession — [...]

How fun is this?!
Surely you’ve heard of the paper doll, right? Well, how about a paper purse! Not just any paper purse, but a Hermes paper purse.
Get your own at the Hermes website. You’ll see a thumbnail with a purse and a scissor symbol. I chose to download the white one. Have fun, girls!

One thing I dearly miss about being out of the television business is knowing about all the new shows far, far in advance. May – June is UPFRONT season … when networks announce their schedules and give TV industry people a peak at the new shows.
