friday faves is back!!!

Reading:

"American Fairy Tales" by L. Frank Baum

To be honest, I've only read the first story. However, I already love this book. I mean I should have expected it to be amazing, he did write "The Wizard of Oz".

The first story, "The box of Robbers", had it all; Italian bandits, a dusty attic and a smart little girl named Martha. You can read it online for free HERE.

Listening:

Bright Eyes - "Shell Games"

Dear Conor Oberst,

I'll never stop loving you. Ever.

Etsy:

"make it yourself" (vintage craft book) from etsy seller clubhousebooks

i've been trying not to buy any *new* craft books, so vintage doesn't count, right? who could resist a cover like that?

Funnel cake!!!! dave and i made some the other night from an old amish cookbook.  if anyone would like the recipe, lemme know!  even though we didn't have a funnel, they were lovely. we ate them so quickly i didn't have a chance to take a proper photo.  apparently, someone on flickr was able to excersize enough restraint...

------------------------------------

my film still hasn't come back, i'm getting far too excited to check the mail.  i hope there are a few good shots.  

it seems like everyday i have off it is extremely gloomy.  today is the grey-est day.  i don't know how i'm going to get anything done.  i just want to drink coffee and read books.
