More Inspiration from the BoGar

Here are some more shots I took during the weird plant sale at the Tucson Botanical Gardens (or BoGar, as our friend Dr. Dan would put it). I scout out plants for my yard, like these Moroccan cacti (never saw them in Morocco - our village was overrun with Prickly Pear, Agave, and Oleander). Sometimes I am also surprised to find something that is already in our yard, like this gigantically tall tree that looks EXACTLY like the row of demure privacy bushes lining our sidewalk. Doh! Guess we better keep those Glossy Privets well-trimmed. I also totally adore the bizarre planters on the top shot. They just seem like weird for weirdness' sake. The texture is awesome and they're totally hand-built. Wonder if the artist gives ceramics lessons?

Tucson Gem Show

The Tucson Gem Show is here, and the Future Hubs and I have been going almost every day after work. My favorite part of the show was on the west side of town, where we went today, just off of 22nd Street and the Frontage Road. Of course, we got some treats like homemade ice cream and cinnamon almonds, but there was also a crepe stand and other goodies like old-fashioned fudge. FH bought me the pretty bracelet above ($4) for a steal, and the fabric stamp ($5). Can't wait to try out the fabric stamp on some thin, cotton fabric. I think it would make gorgeous curtains with white fabric paint on natural linen or muslin as well.

That's MRS Crocker to You

I was home alone one night for dinner last week, and so I made a Dutch Baby, a la Molly Wizenberg from her book, A Homemade Life . Here's a quote: '"Moll, you need two husbands,' Rebecca announced stirring a snowdrift of sugar into her iced tea. 'You can't expect one person to be everything for you. You need at least two. At least.' I nodded. She had a point. I have thought about it many times since, and I don't know that I entirely agree-so far, one husband is almost more than enough for me-but she did have a very good point." Anyway the rest of the book is equally delicious in writing and so are the recipes.
