Puglyfeet ~ The Blog is Moving

Hello friends. I have news for you. Puglyfeet ~ The Blog has a new home at PuglyPixel.com. Well, it's not exactly new. I've mentioned Pugly Pixel to you a while ago. It was my every intention to maintain both Puglyfeet ~ The Blog and PuglyPixel with the same content because I have a deep sentimental attachment to this blog's dark interface. However, maintaining both blogs, even with the same content, has become all too time-consuming. The Photoblog will still be here -- no changes for Puglyfeet ~ The Photoblog.

I am asking you to move with me. If you're a current subscriber to Puglyfeet ~ The Blog, please subscribe to PuglyPixel. Also, if Puglyfeet ~ The Blog has a lucky spot in your blogroll, please update to PuglyPixel. I would appreciate that gesture immensely.

A week from now, all index.html pages will be automatically redirected to Pugly Pixel. If you have links to specific posts, don't despair; those will still be active. Although this move is bitter sweet, I feel it is for the best and I really I hope to see you at my blog's new home.




Pretty Packaging: Trader Joe's Sugar

The people in charge of package design at Trader Joe's deserve a hearty raise. I love sugar. I love pretty packaging. It gave me great pleasure to buy this today.

Wardrobe Remix: 12/18/09

I had every intention of posting this last night, but I came home from work later than usual. This is what I wore yesterday. I know my pose looks weird, but don't worry -- I didn't parade around town with my pants hoisted like this. I just want to you to see my Doc Marten wing tips. Bulky as they are, I love them. They're really comfy.

I also wore these rose resin earrings from Betsey Johnson.

The Croissant Cure

Yesterday was one of those days that could only be fixed by an almond croissant and a tall glass of nonfat milk from Rigolo Cafe. And the only dining companion I could bear to talk to was my San Francisco street bird/bum friend, Blackie.

Noteworthy: Bonne Annee Postcards

Bonne Annee Postcards

I want to show you these Bonne Annee postcards. I bought them from Timeless Treasures about a year ago. I had every intention of devoting a blog post to these exquisite little gems, but alas, life got in the way and I forgot about them. That is, until our morning dog walk yesterday.

Bonne Annee Postcards

Chico, our alpha Pomeranian, gets easily bored with our walks around the neighborhood, so I occasionally drive to new places to lift his spirits. This strategy works most of the time until he gets bored... but, that's another story.

Bonne Annee Postcards

While walking through this fresh new neighborhood, I came upon a darling little house for sale. It resembled the little French cottage in one of my Bonne Annee postcards: the same charming roof, the same color, the same provincial style. Although tyrannical Chico insisted that we move on, instructing me with his faint growls, we lingered.

Bonne Annee Postcards

The windows were bare of curtains so I could peer in to see bay windows in the dining room, an inviting hearth in the living room, and newly finished hardwood floors throughout. In a small quaint side room, which I fell deeply in love with, I saw walls covered with a very old and faded floral wallpaper. It was a sight that made me slightly giddy with the hope of someday sitting in a room of my own just like that.

These postcards make me think of that old house and how it made my heart sing.
