i went out to get some pet food today. i got up expecting that it would be chilly and windy out. when i opened the door, i was completely surprised. this is the weather i live for. just like fall, it's the perfect temperature out, and everthing is changing for the next season. it's perfection. i couldn't get home fast enough to open all the windows of the house. i'm waiting for that truly wonderful sunny spring day where i can take my art kit down to davis square and paint outside again. i love it.

it's also nice to get the windows open so the cats have something to do besides get into trouble. it's at about this time of year where they really start to get on my nerves. with the open windows, they sit in them and can smell and watch the outside world. i call it cat TV.

during one of my trips to magpie to drop off some owls and pins, i started checking out the store. they sell amazing little odds and ends, and i found in a little saucer... spoon rings. it's something i saw as a high school kid and thought was an amazing thing to do with an old spoon. all the times i've ever seen them, they never fit me. i have bear paw hands... i live with it. i started looking them over hoping i could find the right one. this time... after about 10ish years of looking, i found one! it was also a score because it was sterling silver, which means my finger isn't going to turn green. damn my sensitive skin!

this is the find..
the other reason i absolutely love it is becuase it's antique-y looking with the filigree and little flowers. i'm so happy i finally found one. steve thinks i've lost my crackers to get excited about an old spoon. he's a jerk :)
