Restless Hands and Ceaseless Words

While I am always working with my hands, my love of words and reading is always at war with them. I am a florist and crafter and reader and writer. Those are my obsessions. If you like my knits, visit my Etsy store, http://craftasticgoodness.etsy.com :)

@britausa Thank you so much for your commitment to not putting plastic in landfills. I spoke with Customer Service about needing new silicone mouthpieces for our hard sided sport bottles and you came through with replacements. Plus easy to understand instructions on how to replace them. This is so awesome to not have to throw these perfectly good bottles away. #recycle #stopsingleuseplastics #reuse #reduce #stopplasticbottlesbeingmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CWwNmWOJAkB/?utm_medium=tumblr

This #knife has served me for many years but it’s definitely time to retire it. Years of water and cutting stems has definitely taken its toll. #floral #florist #flowers #floralknife https://www.instagram.com/p/CWhc0VlrWEw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Don’t you hate when you find a new series, plow through it as fast as your eyes will let you and you come to the most recent book that’s been released and suddenly you just want to savor it. But at the same time you NEED to know what happens next. I’ve been in this position so many times. @jackcarrusa I hope you’ve got another one in the works cause come Thursday I’m going to be jonesing for another Reece fix. #bookproblems #book #books #bibliophile #thedevilshand #jackcarr #midnightreader #readreader #reading https://www.instagram.com/p/CR1zHmrItNb/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is the best electric razor I have ever used. The first one I had lasted 15 years. If you hate wet shaving your legs, check it out. Philips Ladyshave #shaving #shavingsucks #ladyshaver https://www.instagram.com/p/CRr1fhYoaKW/?utm_medium=tumblr

This Canadian Wildfire smoke is no joke. The sunlight should be blinding right now and the sun looks like it’s eclipsed. #wildfiresmoke #sun #pittsburgh #pittsburghweather #smoky #canadianwildfire #beechview #beechviewing https://www.instagram.com/p/CRh0u8LpGk1/?utm_medium=tumblr

Had a great walk downtown to the Point and ended with #icecream from @millies The Honey Baklava ice cream was amazing. Also check out the color changes in the water and that’s where the rivers meet. The debris line marks it. #walking #walk #pittsburgh #downtownpittsburgh #allegheny #monongahela #rivers #confluence https://www.instagram.com/p/CReyEofpWpm/?utm_medium=tumblr
