new favorite :: herb cheese bagels {from winco}

they have been there all along,

but we just discovered them this week...

herb cheese bagels

from our winco bakery

{in the bulk fresh bagel bins}

toasted with cream cheese,

they taste almost like a pizza.

marian took one to school

and everyone wanted to know

what the delicious smell was.

last week our toaster caught on fire

{nothing major, as i was right there to put it out}

and we are temporarily toaster-less.

that is not stopping us...

we are so in love with these bagels

that i'm using my oven broiler

to enjoy their toasty goodness.

jane's ideal bookshelf project:

"I paint people's ideal bookshelves: your favorite books,

books that changed your life, books that made you who you are.

Picking your ideal books is not an easy task (try it!).

I think of this project as an intimate form of portraiture;

a way to illustrate who the subject is on the inside instead of out."

she will create a custom work of art

from your very own favorite books

{your mom's gardening books, your child's picture books}

or you can buy one of her prints.
