the other day, diego went to close the pantry door and one of my favorite cups fell and broke... ramel grabbed diego while i swept up the pieces, upset... there are only a few cups that are a part of my coffee addiction, and this was one of them... on top of that, it was a gift from my mom... i didn't even think to see if diego was hurt! sounds bad, i know but i guess if he isn't crying and there isn't blood, i automatically assume no one is hurt... he was perfectly fine and well, a cup is a silly thing to be bummed about, right?! anyhow, this past weekend, my mom and her friend went shopping for more goodies... she picked up a replacement for the cup with these two lovelies!!! and of course, they happen to have green!!! i think they are soup cups, however, i've been using them for coffee.... (and can't you tell, i am trying very hard to improve my photography skills?!) i have the sweetest mom, eh?!
and this is vintage wallpaper!!!!!! and a huge, huge roll of it too!! my mom's friend bought it for me... and now i've enough to swap and share and utilize for pretty new illustrations!!!! until i entered the world of blogging, using vintage wallpaper never, ever crossed my mind! i didn't even think this stuff could be found!!! and now, there are so many ideas swimming through my head of things i can do and will do and wanna do and would like to do but haven't enough time to do! i'm amazed at the creativity shared around the globe! yes, i can't help but grin as inspiration fuels my desire to create... now, i just need time...
Awww what a nice momma

you're so lucky to have gotten those cute replacement cups, what a special mom too! hey and if you start to run out of all your cool vintag-y papers, run by kinko's and have scraps color copied. then you'll be able to share a little, for small expense.:)
