i just fell in love all over again.

Could it be?! 
An quick way to display numerous photos that can be easily changed.
Yes. Yes, it is.
A magnetic photo rope.
I'm in love. Oh the possibilities.

this reminds me.

I want a SLR Digital Canon camera. 
So that one day I too will keep calm and snap on.
Sigh. 
Someday.

i enjoy a nice screen print.

It seems that screen print scarves are in short supply in the stores these days. They have an abundance of solids. Or plaids.
But I thoroughly enjoy these ones from Snoozer Loser. And the color combinations are just lovely.

ice cream sandwiches.

I absolutely love recipes that are simple but have a nice presentation.
Because it's all about presentation.
Next sunny day: I will make these!

for you stephen.

Because I know how much joy this will bring you.
Mustaches and bulldogs. Your true loves.



hanging dryer.

New from Ikea!
We always hang dry our clothes and I always seem to never have enough hangers. So this portable hanging dryer would work perfectly. Ikea here I come.

easter is coming.

With Easter coming next Sunday, these Ukrainian eggs give me an idea for my own Easter eggs!
It might be a bit out of my skill level, but they are quite intricate and lovely to look at.

too cute.

Zoology tableware. How cute!
I love the rhino butter dish. Oh and the elephant teapot is a must. And can't forget the giraffe oil and vinegar.
I'll have my own zoo of tableware in no time.

little pear.

How gorgeous are the little pear lights!
I am going through a phase with light bulbs. They can do no wrong.
Love it.

I love it.
And it's a great start to my very small collection of books.

Summer is just around the corner. I can feel it.

Beautiful views of the gorge.

vintage. chic.

These wax seal pendants are so lovely. 

the urge to buy these is growing.

I am thoroughly enjoying the idea of vinyl wall decals. 
What a cheap and inexpensive way to add character to a wall.
And the best part: easily removed!

i'm a sucker for a DIY.

This DIY canvas bag only needs some paint and a doily.
I'm trying to think outside the box with gift giving and this bag fits the bill perfectly. 
Simple and cute.

a day trip.

Since this is my last weekend before I start school again, the mr. and I have decided to take a day trip through the Columbia River Gorge.
The plan is to head east till Hood River stopping along the way at various viewpoints. Hopefully the weather holds out!


I love lockets.
There is something so timeless and romantic about them.

These cupcake sets remind me how even the smallest details can really bring out the creativity and theme of a party. 
What a fun little way to enhance an event!

Our couch could use these!

i couldn't resist.

Washi tape has become my new obsession. I felt it needed its own post to show the amazingly creative things that can be done with just some patterned tape.
I must buy some. Soon.

pretty packaging.

It's been a rough couple of days. Life, finances, and school seem to pose obstacle after obstacle.
So here is some delightful gift wrapping ideas to make it all okay.
I need to buy myself some baker's twine, ribbon, tags, and japanese masking tape come Christmas this year.
