Today’s breakfast was vegan overnight oats with chocolate protein powder, bananer and, once again, my new obsession, hemp hearts! I need lots of energy today, we are in birthday continuation and having a bunch of folx over for BBQ and fun. 
I don’t collect much, except for a huge tiara and crown collection. In college I would host girls – only dinner parties on pageant nights, where we’d watch Miss USA, America, Universe on television. When my friends would arrive at the door I’d hand them a cocktail and let them pick a tiara or crown to wear. More on that later… 
Right now I’m excited about the most recent addition to an unintentional collection of mine! I love the original and it does feature a crown! Many of you have seen this by now, a british print that originated at the start of WWII to keep spirits up.
I’ve had mine for years, it came from Britain and I framed it back home:
I love it.
For the holidays last year, Jason made me this one:
Brilliant. We both have art – school backgrounds and love to create.
At our festivities today, my latest piece, a serving tray, will be making its debut:
love Love LOVE it! I have a t-shirt, a coffee mug, a great necklace (with a CROWN!) and a few other prints with this theme. I think Basil needs a shirt of some sort next...
One of my oldest friends (best friends since first grade!) developed a collection in college… cows. It became one of those things that she would receive as gifts, well after college graduation and I think she is … kinda done with cows.
question!
Do you collect anything? Is it so big that your friends give you gifts of this thing?
Happy Weekend Everyone!!

What a great addition to an awesome collection. I am not a collector. I do however like to admire other peoples collections. I do love tiaras and crowns though. Well, anything sparkly really
okay! Sarah, you are coming over to my house for the next pageant… !
One in my collection is the replica that Audrey Hepburn wore in Roman Holiday… you can wear that one…
yep… that’s why we’re friends… we like sparkly things
XXO !!! let’s get together soon… I still have a story to tell you…
I love your art! So cool!
You should totally do a giveaway… Or just give me that serving tray because I love it
hahahahha… !

I LOVE the sign Jason made you!! How cool. And I also love his choice of green. Hmmmm – Billy and I ended up with quite a collection of wine glasses from our time in Napa Valley this May! I also keep random mementos like name cards at weddings, boarding passes for special trips and concert ticket stubs. I have a box full of them!
I KEEP wedding place cards TOO !
and concert tickets… 
Does anyone know if Hemp Hearts would show up on a UA? (urine analysis)Thanks
ha! that would be a horrible way to not get your new job
!
my container says THC level 0% … I don’t know a lot about that kinda stuff, but isn’t it the THC that is traceable or whatever?
Hmm.. actually I just did a google search and it says YES – continued use (one stated levels of .02% thc) would show up… you didn’t have any of these when you were here, right?
the chia seeds I gave you are a – ok !
No I didn’t! Thanks for the info! I am very curious about the hemp hearts so maybe I’ll just have to wait, shame isnt it? :p
PS- Chad loved the green monster, and we may be ordering some more from you!
awesome!
that protein powder is AMAZING, isn’t it ??? daily. obsession.
hope to see you again SOOOOOOON ! XXO
I really don’t collect much of anything… huh, I need to start collecting something now! Everybody needs a collection to grow – I totally love yours! (:

I would totally wear that on a shirt.
I’m thinking about buying some hemp hearts myself — I don’t remember you saying which brand you bought?
