{thank you}

Yesterday when I posted about my vintage card finds, I forgot to show you these beauties that I also picked up on Sunday. I totally love Anna Bond and when I saw these in the shop, I knew I had to give in to my Rifle Paper Co. obsession! If you want to read more, check out her blog.

p.s. - Isn't this little guy just the cutest?

{chocolate milk straws}

I had heard about these in blogland before, but this past weekend I was at the grocery store and saw a pack of these babies on the shelf and had to snag one up to try. What the heck is it you're wondering? Well it's basically a straw with little chocolate balls in it, so that when you drink your glass of milk, {voila!} it turns to chocolate! It was like something straight out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and yes, my milk tasted fantastic! Oh, and if vanilla, strawberry, or cookies & cream are more your flavor, don't worry because they have those too!
