Thanks to everyone who sent me additional links for fabric tutorial flowers after last week's Two for Tuesday. Of course, I haven't made one yet, but I'm loving the ideas!!
Here are the two things I honestly think you can't live without this week:
1. Cookie Johnson Boyfriend Cut Jeans: My Mother-In-Law loves Oprah. Looooooves Oprah. I'm constantly giving her a hard time that she prays to the church of Oprah (and Dr. Oz). Oprah loves these jeans. My MIL called me the other day to tell me that she was sending me two pairs of jeans. OK.
So, the jeans arrived and I tried them on. Let me say right now that I want to be buried in these jeans. I may never take them off again. The waistline is lined in silk. The pockets are silk. They aren't old-fashioned "mom" jeans, but they don't show the world the crack of my ass either. They are form fitting, without being tight. They are not jeans meant for models. They're meant for real women.
I feel like I'm wearing a wee bit of heaven.
There are only a few articles of clothing I've ever owned that made me feel truly fantastic -- my old Cole Haan high heeled sandals, my favorite black suit (back in the day when I was a grown-up lawyer) and now these jeans. I know that the jeans are ridiculously expensive and I certainly would not have spent that money on them just because Oprah said they're good. But, I guarantee you that this body cringes at the thought of putting on a pair of Gap jeans ever again. Go use some of that tax refund & get yourself a pair!
2. Cari Kraft's Leprechaun Pixies: I have always loved Cari's pixies. She was able to catch 17 little leprechaun pixies this year. They are all numbered & ready to ship! This one might be my favorite. You can this little cutie in her Etsy shop.
Have a wonderful week! Just four more days until 2010's "Summer in Paris" registration!
magical pixies and jeans that fit! in the same article! almost too much wonderfulness at once. keep the good stuff coming,
hugs!

I just ordered two pair of those jeans and am anxious to give them a try. If they have been blessed by you, they must be worth buying!!
