A Little Birdie

This cute little cast iron bird sits on my bookcase in my office. I saw it on Etsy and HAD to get it! The same shop is where I got my cast iron bunny rabbit business card holder as well.

Saturday I went into SF and ate at a grilled cheese sandwich place called The Melt.


So there is this plum tree in my neighbors yard that hangs quite a bit over our yard. It’s been awhile since it gave off plums but WOW is it ever plentiful this year!

Evidence on my side of the fence.

Here are just a few of the old Nancy Drew books I have. My brother’s girlfriend gave these to me when I was about 9 or 10 and I’ve had them ever since. Quite a few of them are from the 1930′s and 1940′s which is cool! I did read most of these when I was young, and I think this is what got me started on my interest in crime and investigation (before I changed my major to English, I was a Criminal Justice major). Not much has changed since!

In case you hadn’t heard (on Twitter) I am working on a complete home office overhaul, and am re-purposing a bunch of things. One item I found was this cast iron frog with a crown. I found it at Goodwill for 9 bucks! This baby is gonna get a fresh coat (or three) of paint and feel like a new man…or frog…
