Sunny Sunday

After a month of battling the flu and bronchitis, I think I am finally on the mend. Yesterday I headed up to the ski hill with the family and although I no longer downhill ski, I threw on my hiking boots and my snow shoes and went on a 2 hour walk (which felt like a marathon). There was a lot of uphill and so today I've got the aching muscles. However, it felt so good to get out and exercise and smell the fresh air. Plus, once I made it to the top of the hill, the view was just spectacular.

Today is a beautiful, bright, sunny day, although very crisp. In that train of thought, I wanted to showcase on my blog, an Etsy treasury called "Spring Stripes" that was created by a fellow Etsian, Octopurse, a couple of weeks ago. I just LOVE this one. I really like the idea of stripes of color and was thrilled to have my necklace featured in it.

Etsy Treasures...If You Like Olives...

Well, I'm not too partial to them myself but my husband loves them. So whenever I serve them I'm left wondering what type of bowl to put out for the pits. I found just the answer on Etsy. Adorable little olive and pits bowls by clayswan.

And then I found some tasty looking olive oil from the Napa Valley. We were there last year and I bought some for a friend, but not myself. Now I know how to get my hands on some. It's organic olive oil from the Napa Valley by toribethorganic
