Vie En Rose

Edie has a cold.The first one all season, people! Last year she was illin' all winter, now, in March, her first case of the sniffles (I think it's this amazing house to to be tooting our houses horn again).  Not too nasty but enough that I'm keeping her home from her beloved Appledale and she's having epic naps again allowing me to watch a Mama movie and spin at the same time. Bliss.

So I watched La Vie en Rose, the Edith Pilaf biography which won the main actress Best Actress Award at the Oscar's this year. I'm pretty sure she's still the winner. I read in the paper how she's getting some "bad press' because shortly after winning she (gasp) voiced her opinion about her belief in the theories swarming about that huge thing that went down in NY a few years back. Look at me being all paranoid. Not totally comfortable even typing those three numbers in sequence.

So, here's Edie's giving her new flowers some medicine so they feel better too. My little loving Sparrow. So she woke up from her nap and watched the last little bit of the movie with me. I told her, "that little girl's name is Edie, too!" and she was just thrilled with that. When they flashed to Edith as a child the little child actor even kind of looked liked Edie but with a nasty case of sores all over her head (I guess that's what happens when your raised in a French brothel?) and both me and Edie would say  "she's so cute!". And then I'd start to cry. What is up with the sappiness these days? It's crazy crazy sale, I mean it's crazy!

It's my self-imposed Etsy Friday. Did you know there are buttons now on Etsy stores that say "alchemy" and you click on that and request a custom job? Not soliciting, just saying. Kind of a neat little feature.

Here goes my favorite Etsy finds of this Friday segment: this would be a crazy (man, I've been using that word alot lately) amount to spend on soap but if God forbid anything should happen to Do Be Clean, I would splurge on this. I've 'known' the soapmaker for years and she's the cat's clean Australian ass.

Softness of spring around the neck. Necking soft around the spring.

I want a drumcarder! Oh yes, I will have one.
