I painted an old bulletin board with an old off-white paint on the cork, then taped the cork off and spray-painted the frame glossy black. Then all I had to do was screw in some inexpensive gold cup hooks and I had a much more attractive and organized way to keep my jewelry. The cork holds my brooches and pins as well as extra pendants on straight pins.
Next up is a new Madison spot we like that is not really all that new to the city. In the past year or so, Madison Sourdough opened a restaurant featuring their yummy breads.
I got a the bacon/goat cheese deal, which I liked better than Matt did. He got the chicken salad, which he liked better than I did. Both were really solid sandwiches with tasty side salads. Plus we ordered a chocolate croissant, too quickly inhaled to be photographed. We will be returning.

Right after the holidays, Matt and I had a very successful trip to Good Style Shop, which has just changed hands but will likely still be providing a great deal of my vintage wardrobe. I found this lovely spring coat. Let's hope the groundhog was right so I can wear it soon! It has a nice houndstooth wool lining, but it's not nearly heavy enough to tackle these below-zero windchills. And, since I've been practically living in my boots this winter, I was thrilled to pick up this cute new-old pair. Apparently, I've got a thing for camel-colored clothing right now.
Below is a video of my favorite new song, played live. It's from Ty Segall's last full-length, Melted, which came out last summer. I'm just a little slow on the uptake sometimes. (I'm working on getting the sizing of the video right...) Edit: I finally got the size of the video right!
Finally, just for fun, is a brand-new picture of my old dog. Not all the white on that face is snow!
Stay warm!
