It's been one of those late-winter weeks–you probably know the type–uneventful yet hectic, a little bit dreary but not that cold. To top things off I've caught some sort of cold/flu that's been driving up my temperature and keeping me and all my projects big and small somewhat sidelined. To cheer myself up (and maybe you too), I've browsed through my photo collection for some things that make me smile: pretty baubles, one of my favorite spots in the city, unique cooking ingredients, and a museum piece I wish I could take home with me. On an even more positive note, it's Friday, I'm hosting an amazing giveaway for my readers, and spring is only a few very short weeks away. That's enough to make me smile for sure.
