Summer Harms—my inspiration for all "things-I-like"-type lists. We worked together for a couple of summers, she married one of my childhood crushes (wait, did I just admit that?), and now she's pregnant with the newest mini-Harms. Awwwwww. Anyway, she inspires me to try new recipes and clean the house.
Lace knitting patterns by Herbert Niebling—Google him! This guy wrote the most beautiful knitted lace patterns. Here's a tiny little section of the only doily I've finished so far. It's two feet in diameter, in peach-colored silk, and I almost couldn't bear to part with it. But it was a wedding present, so off it went!
Fountain pens and my mini Moleskine diary—the Borders in town has gone out of business, so I picked up this tiny daily diary for cheap. It's adorable, fits in my bag, and has (so far) inspired my to write something about every day this year. Even if it's only "Meatloaf for dinner and more Buffy with Astrid." NB: a fountain pen writes more smoothly and lightly than a ballpoint and will improve your handwriting by about 50%. No kidding.
Les Miserables—I'm kinda over my high-school Les Miz (the musical) obsession, but every time I pick up the book, I love it all over again. See yesterday's post.
