happy

this colorful vignette is just that: happy

i am too. i had a splendid bday. way mellow.

brunch with mom and a little bit of shopping.

found a new lipstick in the perfect shade of pink.

and got a pair of lashes for our trip to vegas.

hope i can put them on well. i've never done it before.

we are going for a friend's wedding. a quick turnaround.

we're only there for one night.less than 24 hours, i think.

i'll take some pics to share when i get back.

subtleties

...love this soft palette...

like a silver mist lifted to reveal subtle faded hues 

with carefully placed prints and patterns

...

same kind of vibe i want in my tiny house 

the muted palette and delicate prints remind me a little of this

a lovely image and beautiful words to live by

cascade

i have a strip of cork that runs under my fabric shelves so i can tack things up.

you know that contact paper cork board with the sticky back? 

i just cut it into strips and used a couple layers so it'll hold the pins secure

i've had it up for a few years now and it's still holding pretty well.

i painted it the same color as the walls to help it disappear.

it's a really great way to keep and display things i'm working on.

a few of my favorite things

♡ happy new year ♡

i've come down with a bit of a cold or something these past couple days

and instead of getting better it's been progressing.

which means that i haven't been progressing nearly as much as i'd like.

the tiny house still needs a couple paint touch ups

and everything needs to get put back together

plus, i have a stack of new fabrics that i'm dying to cut into.

i spent much of today snuggled under the covers browsing eye candy

and the greater part of tonight putting together a brand new dresser 

it took a little over 3 hours and now i'm absolutely pooped.

but i wanted to pop in and let you know that i'm still kickin 

and post a few of the yummy images i discovered

(click on images for the source)

i hope to be back to normal by the end of this week

and will start showing you bits and pieces of my new collection very soon.

hope you are enjoying the new year so far :)

catching up and falling behind

our internet has been spotty for the last few days

which is one of the reasons i've fallen behind on blog posts

i have also been catching up on bunches and bunches of holiday orders.

...

we haven't even had a chance to get a tree this year,

but if we did, i would hope it could look as fanciful

as this beauty from yvestown. it's the sweetest tree i've ever seen!

the basket, the baubles the clear lights. in LOVE!!

we always have a bit of a battle over here about clear vs color

i grew up with clear and he grew up with color.

i still prefer clear. what do you think?

...

anyways

i am hoping to get my internet back up

and running by the end of this week.

in the meantime i'm busy dreaming up

a new collection for the new year.

matilda the musical

my matilda was named after this character :)

i can't seem to find them for sale anywhere online,

but i found these lovely images over here

bringing the outdoors in

my garden is pretty much all shriveled up awaiting winter.

i am feeling super inspired by these images to bring the outdoors in.

although i don't get nearly enough light to supprt this type of growth

i still love the way it feels. i'm going to do my best to make it work.

drizzle

we're expecting some light rain today and i'm looking forward to it.

i was out doing errands all day yesterday

and today i am planning to put together some new pieces for the shop.

matilda got a new blanky and will be cuddled up nearby.

i'd say it's the perfect day for some rain.

...

i am loving the images above.

especially the watercolor rainbows.

here is where i found them

one fish - two fish

a palmful of pretty

who doesn't love a colorful cluster of flowers.

unfortunately it's not very feasible to carry

a real live bundle with you everywhere you go

(although it would be nice)

these felt flower cluster pins are the next best thing

...they won't wilt...

they add the perfect punch of color to your fall wardrobe

and they're small enough to fit in the palm of your hand

plus they make great stocking stuffers and gift toppers

♥ now available in my shop ♥
