What Bowls?

A few weekends ago I stopped at the Le Creuset outlet and found ... these super cute egg cups, perfect for holding beads. The only problem was they didn't have yellow! My rainbow OCD wouldn't permit that, so I tracked the yellow cup down online and ordered it. It arrived today!

Yay!

I also got these squashy bowls there too - perfect for beads as well!

And this is what happens to unsuccessful plants. Off to the plant graveyard!
