Assorted Picture Post







1. I know you're looking at this top picture and going, "Can this lady PLEASE quit constantly posting about Polish pottery and chess?" Answer: not in this post, sorry. This is my new kitchen pottery arrangement. Going with a "less is more" look. Had tons of pottery out before and it looked like the Teacup Vikings were displaying their armour, it got so busy-looking. P.S. Taking pictures like this makes me appreciate the Polish pottery catalogues even more. Getting pictures that show the pattern but not a glossy glare are nearly impossible.

2. Matlock and Emperor playing a practice game of chess. Not pictured: Matlock's mother. :)

3. Elf and Emperor at Bo Ling's in Zona Rosa near the chess club. They had SUCH a good time after a recent chess tournament, goofing off and waiting for the food to arrive. This is the big moment where Elf finally gets to try the pork dumplings he ordered. I did not snap a picture of him literally vomiting at the table in revulsion after tasting one. Sorry, but you will have to just "picture the scene" for yourself.

  1. Actually, I was thinking, "Very neat clock, and how I wish I could put dishes on my walls." If only we didn't have to worry about earthquakes!

    Nice pictures of the boys. Too bad about the dumplings. To each his own!

  2. I like the pottery. I'm glad the boys had fun. Winning isn't eveything.

  3. The pottery looks great~ love the wall clock with it, too!

    Emperor looks so different with the longer hair! He looks older. Hope he had a great time this weekend. :)

    And, I'm with Elf...not such a big fan of those, either. .lol

  4. When I saw the first picture I was thinking, "I need to take note of how to display my mathom because yours looks cool and mine just looks like room dander."

    [at the table in revulsion] I have a child that does that too. It is very annoying. I used to be one of those eat what's put on your plate kind of moms. But, now I tell them, if you don't like it, can't stomach it or you are afraid mom is going to see it again spewing out of your mouth, you may have a plain peanut butter sandwich. No jelly, my son would never eat anything else...

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
