Local Because For Real That Collar Is The Biz

New local etsy love is up in its home in the righthand column, and once again I am astounded at the ridiculous amount of awesomeness going on. Ridgy pickly chippy goodness, y'all!

Thank you for supporting local artisans!

Local Mmm, History Is Delicious!

Recently there has been a surge of interest in "olden day" foods chez nous. Every edible offered has its provenance thoroughly examined and is then either deemed historic enough or "too new". We've been noshing on molasses cookies and ginger snaps, breakfasting on corn flakes (Kellogg's only!), and today we made homemade lemonade.

Maybe later tonight I'll work out by churning butter!

Local Vanillaholic

We made it almost all the way home from school before the youngest remembered that today is National Chocolate Cake Day, which event he celebrated with a vanilla cupcake with vanilla icing and a purple flower because, "chocolate isn't as tasty."

Local Yes, Srsly

Oh, yes, the youngest in fact did do his Science Fair project about Angry Birds. And my resultant injury this go-round was astounding*.


* an impalement!**
** my right foot***
*** no, not all the way thru****
**** yes, it still is considered an impalement*****
***** quite sure******
****** yes, my tetanus is up to date*******
******* from the treatment for this self-inflicted injury

Local And The Salt In The Air

Only thing missing is the sound of the buoys.

Local Captivating but Incomplete

Natural Science Center of Greensboro

The youngest was unable to find information about the most important of all the sea creatures: the Kraken. Quite a glaring oversight.

Local Loose Lovey

This sweet boy (collar but no tags) was running loose in the vicinity of Yorkshire and Shoreland, entirely too close to Silas Creek Parkway and its speed demons.

Some of the fine citizens in that neighborhood took him in yesterday morning and put signs out along the 800 block of Shoreland Road for anyone who came looking for him.

Alas nobody did, so please assist by rightclicking and saving this photo and posting it to all your social media.

(Awww! Lookit that tail! LOOKIT!)

Local Like a Newspaper!

New local etsy love is black and white and re(a)d all over, badum-bum!

I love this week's items madly, and so if you feel compelled to organize your friends and neighbors and take up a collection and buy them all to give to me, I want you to follow that urge, because that urge is amazing! Let it speak to yoooooooou.

Thank you for supporting local artisans!
