Any love for brown ink?

I love black, blue, red, and green, but I never seem to see brown ink... I feel brown adds a classy rustic feel to lettering that is hard to describe.

is this just me, or is it just unpopular?

Don't have a teapot yet...

so I just brew the bag in the cup. anyone else take the lazy route sometimes too?

(bag of Tetley removed with fork before adding cream)

$100 later

value village is not the place for value. but apparently it is the place to find some good brands.

items include: a thick burgundy flannel from Sonoma, a grey Oxford from Ralph Lauren, a 100% linen shirt from Tommy Hilfiger, a hawian shirt from Cooke Street, a pair of Rockport penny loafers, a book from 1932, and a nice teacup and saucer with gold trim.

I also bought a Lacoste polo shirt but it didn't fit right so I'm not going to include it here.

overall, happy with the haul is not feeling a little bit of buyers remorse. as is the way with thrifting sometimes

Finally time to bring out the linen

nothing fancy. just a linen blend shirt from Costco, but man, does it feel nice now that the sun is out.

Don't overlook grocery outlet...

a pretty decent selection at my local grocery outlet. Safeway didn't have anything beyond sunkiss tuna in water, and Costco only has fishwife for $20.

Just a nice way to end the day...

I've discounted it in the past, but writing in a journal really is a nice way to relax after a long day.

When I dont know what to write...

I like to copy quotes I like from my edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. Gives me good writing practice and it's fun to read different quotes.
