missed connections.

I am the type to fall easily in love.  Not with people….Craig had to work hard to win me over :)…but more with things.

Here are some little things I’m in love with:
*Fondue
*Miniature Rhino’s Samplers
*Textures: tweed, wood, lace…..
*Wilamette Valley Vineyards Reisling
And…SO many other things.
BUT….here is one of my newest love interests.  I’m seriously in love with the missed connections artwork that I discovered through Samantha at Post Grad Haircut.
Such a whimsical take on the missed connections section of Craigslist.  I’m smitten.  Read the stories behind the art here.
And hope you have a lovely Sunday!
