And so, another laptop charger has bit the dust. I don't know whether to blame it on the manufacturer or our old house wiring, but here I am with a dead computer, impatiently awaiting the arrival of a new charger in the mail. Until then, I will be trying to update as much as I can from our upstairs computer (with a terribly old version of Photoshop). So please, bare with me.

Anyways, here are some random lovely items that I found myself swooning over during the weekend...
