comfy livin'

Last week I re-visited a thrift store I had not been to in ages. This adorable jumper immediately caught my eye. I love everything about it! It's cute, comfy and it was super cheap! How cheap you may be wondering? Try $1.75! They were having a big ole sale and I scored big time. Woohoo!!!

Moving on to the really exciting news, I am finally getting my CSA basket again! There's nothing like local, farm fresh, in season, organic produce. I also just received my shipment of grass-fed beef and pork. I love supporting farmers who care about their animals well-being and feeding them what they are made to eat. It's funny, I just watched Food Inc. last night, so my produce and meat could not have arrived at a better time. The film was great and I would highly recommend watching it. Since I'm on the subject of health and movies, I'd like to suggest a few more films- The Future of Food, The World According To Monsanto and The Hazards of Sugar. I never talk about food or health on my blog, which is strange considering how passionate I am about both. It definitely is a subject which fascinates me and one I think I may start talking about more. We'll see :D


Hope you have a yummy week!

  7. brilliant, your produce looks delicious!!! after watching food inc, i changed just about everything about my diet...it's incredible what a little information can do! i have taken on a full vegan diet, and cut out all the fake stuff...and truthfully food tastes better now! i'm totally into anything you may have to say about food and health...or any recipes you may have to share too!

  9. I love the jumper outfit, it's so summery and hazy, and I too would be happy to read more style-y bloggers posting about issues like food. Our local CSA just folded, but thankfully we have our own garden to tend to.

  10. Hi Anne! I think my side bar text font is the same as the main post text font. All I've done is change the size of the post title font, and I found a tutorial for this, but I can't see it in my favourites (too many!!!) so I'll have a better look and send it to you when I find the link. What I'd like to know is how to make the main body of the text bigger without making the other text bigger at the same time! It's all so confusing.

    I find it quite addictive messing about with the layout and I must stop as I waste too much time on it. I've returned to a 2 column layout as I didn't really have anything to put in the 3rd column hehe! Have a great weekend :)

  14. Yes, food is so important to me too. Have you ever seen Meet your Meat? It is really depressing. Such a great deal on that jumper. What a find. Thanks for visiting my blog and to answer your question she is my daughter.

  21. Agh, you are so adorable in that jumper! :) And yaaay for CSA veggies!! I'm so happy to know that you're into local food. My husband and I started getting a CSA basket last year, though we won't be getting any vegetables for a little while longer here. We're really into supporting our local farmers too, and have been faithfully going to the farmer's market all winter, even though there are no veggies in sight (just milk, goat cheese and some meat, mostly!). I can't wait to start getting veggies.. I feel like we got a little unhealthy over the winter!
