A Treasury for a Tuesday : The Cheese Stands Alone

I was lucky enough to avoid the experience of having mice in my home until the summer of 2010. I lived in a house that was practically the woods and a lovely little finally of rodents found solace in our central air conditioning system. And our counters. And our pantry. And, for one of the babies, a party of drunken college students (I don't think he found an solace though, mostly terror).

I had a few mouse related encounters over the past few days. There's nothing like having one of these little critters sneaking around your space : they're cute and all, but I could do without them eating my food and shitting on my counters.

Hence, The Cheese Stands Alone:

A Treasury for a Tuesday: Home on the Range

I'm couldn't tell you what inspired this one, but I rounded up enough cattle to form this treasury just time for Tuesday.

Wishlist Wednesday : bananastrudel

As you can see, I am going to attempt to integrate some consistency in this blog with weekly, themed posts. On Wishlist Wednesdays, I'll feature an items some of my favorite shops, things I've been considering buying for a while, and items from shops of people I know.

To kick off this feature, I'll actually going to talk about an item that represents more an idea for me.

Presenting:

1900 Charming Antique Map of Delaware courtesy of Banana Strudel from Toronto.

Banana Strudel's shop is filled with tons of beautiful antique maps and illustrated charts of animal life. If her maps weren't so precious, I'd love to incorporate them into one of my map books.

 

Of course, the map of Delaware resonates with me because of my connection to the state. Having gone to college there, it represents an infinite amount of wonderful memories and I pine for the friends I made while there (even with many of them in different states).  

 

 With my sister currently attending school there, I have just another good excuse to plan a visit down there. But until then, I'll just look at this map.
