I'm in LOVE

As I mentioned, Natalie opened an Etsy shop called NPBeads. She's back at BrainStorm for the next week or so until we lose her to California for good and I saw these gems on her site and mentioned how much I love them and look what I found on my desk the next morning! I was sooo excited, especially after I put them on and realized how dang cute they are on. what a great friend -- Nice work, Nat!




Also, on Sunday I used some blueberries (that I scored on sale by ad-matching Target for $1.50/package) to make a pear/blueberry tart thing. It was really sweet...almost too sweet for me, which, that's saying something.



Also, I needed to use up some strawberries I'd made for shortcake and some french bread so I made some *experimental* strawberry and raspberry bread pudding, one of my fave desserts. I haven't tasted it yet, but I'm taking it to work tomorrow so my coworkers will have to be the judge. yum-o!
