Not weaving, not food... I'm talking ecards. I just have to give a little plug for the most wonderful ecards you've ever seen. If there were such a thing as artisinal ecards, these would be them.
They are created by Susan of Visual-Voice.net, a great blog with beautiful photos and gentle thoughts. I became aware of her blog and Banjo Bunny ecards through her Advent Calendar, an amazing creation which can only be viewed during advent. (I read somewhere that it will work if you change the date on your computer, but I haven't tried that.)
Her ecards appear to be based on vintage cards and postcards, to which she has added animation, music, and humor to create something truly unique. There are four cards available at the moment: a St. Patrick's day card, a birthday card, a "Be Mine" card, and an "Olive You" card. The only price for sending a card is that you'll be added to the Banjo Bunny mailing list, which will bring you a monthly newsletter.
Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day - better hurry!

My Mom has thousands of recipes. I'm not talking about cookbook recipes; actually, she never really had many cookbooks. No, my Mom has papers and cards filled with recipes. Some are quite old. And I couldn't even begin to comment as to their...
- Circa 1973
Some years ago, I came into possession of some wonderfully funky recipe cards, courtesy of the good folks at Archie McPhee. A pack of...oh, a dozen or so cards, in that tell-tale late sixties to mid-seventies photography (it's the color, man...it's...
- Melissa On Flickr
As I noted in my anniversary card to Melissa, she has taken most of the photos that appear on this blog. As she's gotten better, she occasionally grumbles about which photos I choose to post and which don't make the final cut. Plus, I may be obsessed...
