brass from kenya

Bought the necklace this morning from Ten Thousand Villages. Made of brass by women in Kenya. They also have free fair trade coffee as you shop, what a good start to my Friday.

89 days

Monday saw me accomplish a few things off of my to-do list...finally. I managed to find a few things I had been looking for for my wedding. It's beginning to get into the detail stage: collecting decorations and worry that your ideas that you have in your head aren't going to look nearly as neat as you had blueprinted in your minds eye. Here's to hoping it all turns out within budget and okay-looking!

And despite my protestations to doing yard work on the field of weeds that have rampaged my garden, I do enjoy the raspberry bushes that have been yielding sweet-ass berries! I went to my friend Stacey's the other day for a waffle brunch (white sauce included!) and I brought fresh rasp's for toppings. (Those lilies are slowly dying off though, quite possibly due to the Winnipeg heatwave this past week).

Also, yesterday I actually was off work before 7 o'clock which meant I was finally able to go to church again at St. Ben's. It was so refreshing. Sometimes I feel like I lack a peaceful environment (even though I live alone) and it was nice to feel a little more at peace in a community of others. A good reminder to live a life of love and acceptance even though I live and work in a very secular society that often make me forget to be a grace giving person that I'm called to be.

Here's to 89 days til I'm a hitched woman!

Cheers!
