Lucky Charms

When news broke that our penny would be no more, I was more than a little upset.  I'm the type of girl who purposely avoids cracks in the sidewalk, who refuses to open an umbrella indoors and naturally, who picks up every single lost penny she finds.  Without pennies, where would I find my luck?  So, I hit up google and tracked down pretty lucky talismans to see me through our penniless future, from a pretty Jennifer Meyer-esque horseshoe necklace by Lilly Lawson that I now wear every day, to kitschy evil eye bracelets from L.A (both on Etsy..love Etsy...).  Now, I'm fully stocked in the luck department. Knock on wood.

Still, a girl needs a break to keep her luck intact so with that, I bid you adieu for a week.  I'm off with my family for some much-needed summer R & R.  We're heading to Ottawa to check out some Van Gogh at the National Gallery, market-strolling at ByWard, then off to cottage country for the rest of the week. Whee!

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone (one of my favourite days, strangely enough). Thanks for all your love over this past little while.  Your comments, tweets and facebook 'likes' make me smile every single day. With you, my lucky charms, a girl doesn't really need pennies...
