It is magazine madness here today, and I'm loving it:

First of all, after the 8K (which wasn't as bad as I expected) we went to Cafe Borrone for breakfast- if you ever find yourself in Menlo Park, do yourself a favor and eat there. I was a daily regular my last few years of college, and I miss their yummy soups and salads all the time. And of course next door is the excellent Kepler's Books, where I went to see if they had the magazine Susan's post made me covet instantly. They didn't, but they did have a copy of the February Burda magazine, which I've never seen before in real life. Oh my goodness! It is packed with fantastic, fun, springy patterns and was only $8! I bought some new tracing paper so I can get started on one or two of them. I need some red on white polka dot cotton for a blouse...

I also picked up the Romantic Homes with the exciting feature on the delicious Alicia P. of Posie Gets Cozy (needless to say, one of my blogging idols). And then, most exciting of all, I came home to find my copy of Adorn on the doorstep! I've been waiting so patiently and boy it was worth it. Now my crafty shopping list has expanded to include: shrink plastic to make jewelry, velvet for petally flowers, a chandelier to re-string, a trip to Portland, and oh, so much more. But first to get is some of that Velcro Fabric Fusion because I have a super-fun idea for their contest. And one that, if it turns out as I hope, will be something I'll be glad to have whether it is a winner or not (though I do really need a new iron)!

Really it couldn't have been a better day for magazines, because I was too pooped to even lift my scissors and cut out a pattern. Oh, and because my feet had to run 5 miles today, Moondoggie bought them a little treat:

Hellloooo sexy! The comfort of Reefs with the chic of leopard. Which of course means I need to make myself some black city shorts to wear them with, right?
