Happy Halloween

Clever Girls!

A great big owl

In a great big tree

On a night so dark

You could hardly see

He was watching the lights

In the deep ravine

Where the witches danced

On Halloween.  


Hope everyone has a spooktacular weekend
full of clever tricks and tasty treats...

Meet the Doodle!

Meet the Doodle!  This adorable Doodle Dog bag is made from Crypton super fabric that is machine washable, stain and odor resistant.  It's a roomy 24" x 20" size that makes it perfect as a travel tote, or reusable grocery bag.  We love the super-cute design, and the six yummy colors that it comes in....

Once you get those groceries home, it's time to get cookin' in the Doodle Apron!  Comfortable, machine washable and easy to spot clean, you can cook with confidence knowing nothing will get through the fabric  onto your clothing.  Oh, and did we mention it's all made in the USA?  

Do NOT Panic!

You know we change the clocks and "Fall Back" soon...November 7th to be exact--but are you aware that there are fewer than 10 shopping weekends left until Christmas?  There are still leaves to be raked, storm windows to install, and pumpkins to be carved, but the Holidays are just around the corner. Now, not to panic, Clever Girls, but it IS time to get the lists made, and begin a bit of shopping.  The leaves are falling fast, and surely the snow can't be too far behind, so consider this a gentle reminder of what is to come, and  keep those friends and loved ones in mind when something wonderful presents itself.

Color Color Color

I do not believe in horoscopes or that broken mirrors bring bad luck.  The stars are beautiful, but I'd never base a decision based on their alignment.  I live with two adorable black cats {so far, so good}, and never broke my Mother's back stepping on a crack.  So, simply as an amusement, I'm passing on Colorstrology.
I do believe that certain colors can make us feel better or worse {hospital green, anyone?}  I love my sunny yellow kitchen, and the Tiffany blue in my guest room is forever soothing.  I could never be happy in a black room, and all white is way too boring for me...so see what color you lean toward just for fun....

Just Too Clever!

I came across this cake, and had to share.  What looks so plain and simple on the outside, is really rather wonderful on the inside.  They say, "Don't judge a book by it's cover"--nor, apparently, a cake! Reports are it tastes as good as it looks....
