As I mentioned yesterday, over the weekend, my mom and I went shopping and I went to World Market for the first time! It was so so fun :)
I was a little tired from other shopping at eating all this at Maggiano’s:
I have shopped online at World Market before, and my awesome friend Janis has gotten me some cool gifts from there, but this was my first time at the store and I loved it.
Here are some things I loved… (sorry for blurry photos! I got a new phone and I’m getting the hang of using its camera.)
All the knobs!
The Anthropologie-esque blankets:
Chalkboard jars! (And just lots of jars in general) :)
These cool chalkboard labels that seem like they could be used for all kinds of fun…and could be easy to DIY:
This seems boring, but I loved their fun colored swag kit/cords for hanging/paper lanterns! Why not have fun cords to go with your fun shades?
I realized that place card holders would be an excellent addition to my “party box” to use for labeling dishes and appetizers:
And I enjoyed their variety of organizational trolleys. I don’t know where I’d put them yet but they seem like they’d be so so cool in a craft room…or really anywhere.
Of course there was much more, but these were my personal highlights. I feel like I am the last person who hadn’t yet been to World Market. Is that true? Do you love it there, too? What are your favorite random things there?

I thought you might want a little closure on my baby cardinal adventure.
I knew the parents and the babies were making themselves right at home when I checked on them the day after I posted about them last and the babies wanted me to feed them:
I checked on them every day, but I tried not to be too invasive. I was working so hard to keep my animals away from them, I didn’t want to be a hypocrite and bother them too much myself!
They were fine and chirpy and the parents definitely kept feeding them and doing their best to distract all of us away from the nest. Here’s Momma Cardinal. (I’m sad I didn’t have my bigger zoom lens on to get a better picture of her.)
Within just a few days, it was amazing to see how big the little cardinals had gotten! This picture was taken on June 2, just 2 days after the hungry picture above.
Big and fluffy, right? And perched right there on the edge of the nest like a big bird! :) And I loved how he would look at me and turn his head to follow me as I tried to see him from different angles.
This was the last day I saw him/her. Mom and Dad are gone, too, so I hope that’s a good sign. :) There were 3 baby birds originally, but I only saw this big guy grow up. One of his siblings was dead in the nest, and I don’t know what happened to the third. I read that cardinals leave their nests and learn to fly relatively early, so I hope he/she got out there and into the big wide world safely!
Now I can go back to doing normal things in my life and not continually fret about “my” baby cardinals. :)

Shadow gave me quite the scare last night by wandering out of our yard and not returning until sometime in the morning. Thankfully he’s back and he’s fine and hopefully he didn’t get into too much trouble while he was away.
Today on his birthday (really his adoption day), he celebrated by sleeping in one of his favorite spots…up against the drywall in our hallway.
He was tired enough (probably from his escapades out in the neighborhood) to actually let me take some pictures of him.
And here’s just a picture of goofy Grounder and slow, tired Shadow. This is what it looks like a lot around here. :)
