Fabulous Find

Another entry in the Fabulous Find category. This time, it’s a two-fer. I found this today at the Papery in Bethesda, MD. I would have purchased them, but they were $18. It gave me a great idea for making my own cards, however. A black and white background stamped or cardstock already colored, with a bright colored flower on top. The flower could be attached via a dimensional foam sticky (I can’t think of the correct term) for added “oomph”.

Actually, I guess it’s now a three-fer, because I just had another idea. If you have a piece of lace that you like, you could take a picture/scan it/trace it via a lightbox, and use that as the background image. Oooh.

My new favorite Trader Joe’s snack? Hummus with horseradish - garlicky, horseradishy, and well… darned good.

On a side note: The cashier who checked me out the day I bought my hummus with horseradish was completely grossed out, and proceeded to tell me how gross she thought it was. She doesn’t like horseradish, so the ick factor was very high for her, apparently. I thought it was rude of her to say anything at all, but apparently boundaries are lacking in the world these days.
