Weather-wise, I think things are looking up in the Pacific Northwest. I walked home from downtown today without a coat AND in my Kork-ease wedge sandals without feeling cold. (In all honesty, my feet were absolutely killing me so it probably could have been blizzard-like, and I wouldn't have noticed.) But, gosh, it's the last day of my spring break so naturally my thoughts are turning to summer. Here are a few new [pre-summer] card designs for you to enjoy. I'm happy to have dusted off my popsicle stamps! Going to buy a bag of orangesicles now. And some band-aids for my blisters.

First, the obvious: we do loads of laundry full of tights, leotards, and workout gear. One shower curtain rod and four towel bars aren't enough. Hairpins are a telltale sign, too. We find them everywhere. Seriously. Everywhere. Sometimes I wonder how many bobby pins we have purchased within the last decade or so. And, what goes with hairpins? Hairspray. Lots of hairspray. Largest quantities you can find, please. You'll always find the current PNB promotional materials on our table. Never recycle these. They are to be kept for all of eternity. P.S. If you're near the Seattle area, you should really buy tickets for Coppelia which, as the postcard reveals... "opens this week!" Training for a professional dance career also requires an endless source...
