Cuckoo Quotes & Tweets, Eclectic Finds & Gifts
Adult Puzzles
I’m pretty hopeless when it comes to puzzles, but everyone in my family is brilliant. This sweet, 1,000 piece Carl Larsson example below would be beautiful to display when complete!
Larsson’s watercolor painting “Crayfishing” is one in a series titled Ett hem (A Home), which was published in book form in 1899.
If you prefer something simpler, this 500-piece puzzle forms a 24″x18″ art piece. Since I grew up with this colorful and gorgeous framed print in our home, it holds special meaning.
In fact, if you are a fan of Larsson’s art, here is a wonderful way to add an instant collection of prints to frame for a friendly price:

Produce Delivered to Your Door
So much of modern life is confusing, stressful, and uncertain; yet there are conveniences we never dreamed of just a decade ago.
When you can’t get to the grocery store or simply choose not to, you can still have access to fresh produce (for someone like moi on a restricted diet, that’s a small miracle).
Services like Daily Harvest bring the goodness to you.

In Case You’re Struggling
Here’s a favorite book I have gifted often.
The Little Tern is the enchanting story of a bird who one day discovers he has lost the ability to fly. Beautifully illustrated by Lisa Mann Dirkes, this modern fable by Brooke Newman points to finding hope in disappointing or frustrating circumstances.

Whether you work away from home or at home (with requisite Zoom conferences, FaceTime sessions, and virtual meetings), here are some fresh finds I use:
Here’s another find…a lip and cheek tint that is divine and natural. I use it everyday!
Here’s the mascara from MILK that I have been using as well.
Clean makeup seems to be the norm now, and high quality examples tend to cost more for good reason: they double as smart skin care with ingredients to nourish.
