i really hate the phrase "think pink"

It's so cheesy, like it's trying to be funny in rhyming but it's really just...not. Okay, sorry for that mini rant.
Yesterday my friend and I went walking downtown and just talked. Like, for hours. It was great, because I've been needing to have a good old heart-to-heart with someone, but for various reasons, I hadn't.
We stopped by a craft show to see Adela and her younger sister and their stand. Adela was selling jewelry and decorative fairies, and her sister was selling little cross-stitch nick-nacks and homemade greeting cards. Then we walked around some more and I took some photos of these gorgeous blossoming trees.

Some fairies...

My outfit today was pink... (below..sorry, I'm still trying to decide if I like to put the photos info above or below the photo; any input?)
Psst, I have to share this really amazing recipe with you. My cousin came up with it and let me in on it. You know the flavored steamed milk you can get at a cafe? It tasted like that, and there's even the foam on top afterward.
You heat up one cup of milk (I used skim milk in a mug in the microwave for 1 minute), then add 2 TBSP brown sugar (at least, that's what the recipe said, but I found 1 TBSP sufficient) and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. 'Tis yummy.
ugh...Sunday evenings are the worst time of the week for me, at least during the schoolyear, because you look into your future and see a whole other week ahead of you.
lots of hugs!

Hello lovely! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog - yours is just delicious. It feels like a pic'n'mix, but with pretty clothes and fairies and long drawing room discussions on art instead of sweeties (although there are some of those too, I am glad to see!)! ^^ I particularly love your art noveau post - I was fortunate enough to visit the Musee Rodin in Paris last summer. I'd never understood the appeal of sculpture before until I saw his works, including The Kiss. Just inexpressibly beautiful, but you describe it so well! xx
