Take It From The Top

Happy Sunday, friends.

While thrifting the other day, I found this oblong flower frog and realized it was perfect for holding up my ilee letterpress calendar {which, previously, would fall from my table multiple times daily}. The tips are super sharp {ouch!}, so this might find its way out of reach to avoid accidental finger punctures.

When I was a young girl, I dreaded Mondays. As early as Saturday night, I'd start up with the dread, certain that Monday was right around the corner. Strange, but here, at twenty-six years old, I'm a Monday person. I love Mondays. I love a new week, and look forward to it with a lot of hopefulness and ambition. I'd like to think this means I'm doing something right with my life, as it is these days ...


P.S. Oh, boy, am I getting jazzed up to tell you about my project. But, not yet! I promise, it's almost ready ...

  1. Maybe when I turn 26 next month I'll like mondays too. At this point they are still no fun!

  3. lol, i'm with you. i would dread, dread, dread them. and then something shifted. however, as of yet, i don't have a "normal" work week so they don't carry the same weight for me as they might for others.

  7. Love the idea of using a frog to hold up your calendar... And, I still dread Mondays after a full weekend of the whole family being together, Monday is such a drag! :)

  9. That flower frog (do you know why they're named that? I'd love to know!) is a genius loose calender holder! Also, that calendar is super awesome. What are you doing? Curious minds want to know :)

  10. Kittylou: That's because you're a real grown-up with a big-girl job ... which definitely has its perks, Ms. Savings Account ;) Mine is pitiful.

    Clare: Oh, 26 is so darn hectic. And a little scary. Let's trade ages.

    Meg: Same here -- a nontraditional job{s} totally helps eliminate the Sunday/Monday blues. Sometimes, I even have Monday off! So, Sunday becomes Friday-like ...

    Screamish: I didn't know you were a professor! I'd love to hear more.

    Jessica: I can't wait to show it ... !

    Rachel: I know, I'm really dragging this thing out, huh?

    Tonya: Thanks! I think I'm pretty unusual with respect to Mondays. Though, I keep worrying that one Sunday, I'll wake up and completely dread the coming day once again.

    Erin: Thanks! I'll reveal it soon, I promise.

    Brittany: Good question -- I've no idea, but am curious, too. ilee makes really wonderful letterpress calendars every year. They're so great, I can't bear to toss them once the year's over. And yes, the reveal will happen in due time ;)
