Happy family photo

Every time my mother begs us to do a family holiday photo, this is what I think:

Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar

Things to make you smile:

Favorite things of the moment

1.) Lockets
A locket says many things to me. It reminds me of the movie/musical Annie. It reminds me of the book The Magic Locket I got from a dear friend as a kid. It reminds me love.

2.) Kinder Happy Hippo
The world's best chocolate. Impossible to find in the United States. Impossible to forget. Thank god my local neighborhood market sells this.

3.) Shutter Shades

I don't care that these are ridiculous or that Kanye West is an asshole. I love shutter shades because they make any outfit better. And when I say better, I mean AWESOME.

4.) HT Tea

One of the best teas I've ever had and it comes in an adorable tin that can be used again for little plants. Doesn't need sugar or anything added in- Just perfect. It's a big difference between those stupid little lipton teas that are so bland you wonder what weed they drudged up to make it. 

5.) Casco Bay Ferry

As most people know, I'm the biggest fan of the Casco Bay Ferry. I even dressed up as a ferry boat for halloween after a suggestion from a friend that I go as a "fairy." Not quite what she was thinking but I had a great time carrying a plastic shark with me all night. But I do love the ferry. It's on time and it's like a little cruise where luckily no one gets the norovirus or has to be subjected to sub-par entertainment shows. Just a boat. And I love it.

Weekend out at Great Diamond Island

One of the best weekends of my life: celebrating my life-long friend/adopted cousin Ally and her wonderful fiance.

Dear last 4 days of constant rain,

Homemade Whale Pillows!

I made these for a friend who is having twins. The fabric is a soft flannel and the eyes are made of wood buttons. If you're interested in buying on, send me a message at Lola@LolaSizemore.com. I can custom make these for specific colors and patterns.
