blinks, feb.10

bonjour february! i'm heading home to seattle tonight for 6 sweet days of family, weddings, friends, dancing, birthdays, dicks (you KNOW what i mean seattle-ites), barn sleepovers, top pot donuts, islands and on and on. i can't WAIT! here are a few tidbits to tide you over...xo

i scrimped and saved and finally bought myself the canon rebel t1i but now i think i need a lady carefree!

send your love a message in a butter cookie with these crafty cutters.

this japanese paper globe balloon is a really sweet alternative to the traditional greeting card.

i'd like to sit and watch these clouds float by.

ohhh myyy mociun nailed it with their fine jewelry collection. i'm drooling over the black diamond stacked rings and geometric charms.

i combined this recipe with the one on the back of the tollhouse bag and mmm...the whole batch disappreared in 5 days flat.

i love DIYs and and How-Tos and just re-discovered this little gem. upon my return i plan on taking a stab at #2, 4, 6 and 8

collections, part I, dec.09

i've been really into the idea of starting collections lately. i was searching for gifts on etsy when i stumbled upon a really cool vintage glass aftershave bottle. after a few more clicks i found tons of them and thought, if combined, they'd make an amazing little dresser or bathroom shelf collection. ta-da:
