I don't know if I have mentioned them before or not, but this is the time of year my local midwestern grocer gets my flavorite summer seasonal treat: Rainier cherries! If you see very pretty red and maize colored cherries a little larger than a quarter - pick them up! They don't really last long on the stand or in your fridge: on the stand because they are very sweet and can get brown spots from the high sugar content but also because they are so yummy you'll want to eat them like grapes. They're usually pretty expensive, this year the cheapest I have seen them locally is $4.99/lb. I highly recommend you try them - they're almost like mini sweet peaches. Let me know if you try them - I want to know what you think!

Major victory in the land of tacky planters!!! MAJOR VICTORY I TELLS YA. Check the 50's teens on the phone matching love seat tacky planters. This is the most I have ever spent $19.99 for both. Despite the great expense - I think it must be a good use as any for leftover birthday money. Go team. I plan to pot something in them upon their arrival. I brought my whale tacky planter and my owl headvase style tacky planter in to live on my desk at work. They make me happy all day sitting there staring back at me. I was graciously given two violets from my friend "Hot Donna" and one went to live in the whale. I still need to decide which planter to use for the second one. Have you seen the awesome shamrocks being sold in the grocery store for st. patty's day lately? I picked up a black shamrock (Oxalis Triangularis) and it is totally badass. The last shamrock plant I had lived for about 3 years in the badass telephone tacky planter.

Something new to the world of Leisurama (that is, our house here in Kittenfactory, Michigan) ... an Orchid. I have always wanted one, but am far too cheap to spend $30 on a houseplant I, or any four-legged domestic critter living with me, would surely kill. How could I justify the expense this time?? I didn't have to - I found an ebay seller that mails two plants for under $5.00. I already had the pots, and the moss to grow them in was under $6. Wish me luck. The photo posted is what is SUPPOSED to happen if I take good care of them. Go team.

I've got to wonder about people. How in the heck did this designer ever fathom that her fashioning a zipper into a pin "design" would NOT be ripped off? Apparently she's trying to sue the Gap, but-first- if you ask me - it's not like people can't go to "the walmart" and make their own for $3 as opposed to this "designer" $70. In fact if you start making some for friends and family - I'm pretty sure there's nothing the designer could sue one for. Probably from a family of lawyers.
Secondly, I'm not sure I wouldn't want to be copied in this case since you'd have the industry's eye on you and it could really rocket a designer's career - I would venture to guess.
