On the Watchlist

I found a reliable seller of authentic overseas DVDs -- knockoffs are a real problem when you're shopping for these -- so I'm investing in some kdrama series I haven't been able to find anywhere else that feature three of my favorite Korean actors. On the left, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?, a romantic comedy-drama that features a hilarious office romance between a narcissistic boss (Park Seo-joon) and his patient secretary (Park Min-young). On the right, Healer, an action thriller with Ji Chang-wook playing the title role of a secretive night courier/fighter and Park Min-young as an endangered journalist.

This should keep me busy for the next couple months. One of the pleasures of watching series in a foreign language with English subtitles is that my bad hearing doesn't factor in, and I'm actually picking up a lot about Korean culture to help with writing the NA series. :)

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

The Mercantile

If you don't mind walking 33K square feet in retail space, The Mercantile may be the vintage/arts store you'd enjoy visiting if you're ever in Orlando. I certainly did. Because it was busy I didn't take any photos in the store, but it's absolutely amazing and chock full of antiques and artisan creations, most of which were pretty reasonably priced. For $21.00 I invested in a picture of sailboats for the guest bathroom I'm redoing, and a fairy mystery jar of cool stuff. The jaw was hand-painted and decorated, and utterly charming. I think I wanted the jar more than the contents. As you can see the contents were both generous and pretty cool, too. I finally have some vintage gloves to use for my art quilter bingo challenge!
