austrailian abodes

My friend Alexis is living in Austrailia with her husband and little girl this summer and she posted these pictures of some houses in her neighborhood. They make me melt! Especially the one on the bottom left.

Sigh... Someday I'll have a house of my own...

so fresh and so clean

Doing the laundry wouldn't seem like such a chore in these pretty rooms...

sew them your love

I love the surprise of getting a tangible ink and paper letter in the mail, but I think I would love getting a thread and fabric letter even more! This is such a personal and loving way to tell someone you care.

And I think it would be so sweet framed.

happy weekend!

This jumper has been patiently waiting for buttons for about two weeks now... here's to checking things off the to-do list this weekend!

Ninainvorm's happy colors and mix of vintage and contemporary style has me swooning! I dream about having a white kitchen and would love to brighten it up with dishes like these!

homemade party hats

I think I am going to have to steal this party hat idea - so adorable!


"You had party hats. Did you make them?
I bought a party hat from the store and took it apart and traced it onto card stock and stapled it together to make a cone shape. Then I used pompoms that came on a string and stapled them around the bottom of the hat. (You can use clothes pins to hold it in place while you staple.) I did the same thing with a feather boa. For the newspaper fringe ones i just cut a strip of newspaper and stapled it around the bottom of the hat leaving a few inches hanging down to cut into fringe. Then we stapled the elastics on."
