stay healthy

A new face in the spirit of the flu season, and Mary Poppins (one of the best films of all time).

I realize that it looks a bit like “tony treasures” I’m off to a meeting but will fix that error and upload again afterwards.

Does anyone know how I can help to reduce the blurriness? Any suggestions for file type/color mode/resolution/etc.

monday picks

Free shipping at fredflare.com using code ‘bubblegum’ ends tomorrow! For the momentous occasion I decided to take some of my favorites on the website right now and compile them. Of course… I want it all…

RECIPE BOOK $19.95 NOSE CUPS $12 LOBSTER TONGS $20 PHOTOBOOTH NECKLACE $14
GLASSES $10 CAMERA RING $10
BEE NECKLACE $36 MAGIC STAPLER $8
RECIPE BOX $14 DISCO BALL $32

I’m hooked on Cath Kidston right now. I love her kitsch/country floral patterns mixed with preppy pops of color, stripes, and polka-dots. The photobooth necklace fits standard photobooth pictures and can be replaced whenever you’d like. The bee necklace is a perfect shade of old gold (almost brassy) and has a great length and size which you can see from the sample photo on FredFlare.com. The magic stapler not only has wow-factor for anyone who tries it out, but also helps save the planet by reducing waste of staples… and while you’re not saving the world by using less staples, you can take a work or study break to do your best John Travolta impression beneath your solar-powered disco ball!

Enjoy! xoxo

face painting

There are few things better then Caran d’Ache water-soluble pastels. Face painting never gets old no matter how old you are. You can find them at a bit of a discount at Dick Blick (where the link will lead you). I absolutely love Dick Blick and the ability to head in there when in Boston is an absolute treat. They are also sold at almost every art store so hit up your local art store if you’d like to save on shipping!

You have no idea what I would give for the 126 pastel pack!

adorable

While perusing Etsy I stumbled across creativethursday’s shop where I then discovered wonderful prints that I think would be perfect for a children’s room or clustered in a group of two to four. The paintings are so fresh and whimsical! They truly make me want to cuddle polar bears and small woodland creatures. I wish I wasn’t on such a tight budget otherwise I would snatch them up myself. They are printed on 8.5″x11″ archival paper with a matte finish, a white border is left for framing allowance. Below are a couple of my favorites!


pandas $35.00


Olive and Pompey $35.00

coming out of it

so i went through a break-up, got sick, had visitors this weekend while sick, and now can stop and focus and rest.

When Jean went to Brooklyn in December she came back raving about Fishs Eddy and the skyline-ware they make. They were all out of the S&P shakers she wanted to give me for Christmas but today I thought of their website after reading the “alphabet & numbers” set on Design*Sponge and recognized an alphabet bowl as that of Fishs Eddy.

Here are some of my favorites:


S&P Shakers $9.95


Pantone Reds, Dinner Plate $3.95
(They are on sale! What a steal! These come in more Pantone colors…)

 

More updates later today with some of my newest Etsy wishes and recent recipes…


currently obsessin’

Blueberries. Big, fat, pop-in-your-mouth blueberries. Fresh, organic, hand-picked blueberries. Cold sour cream blueberry pie (watch for the recipe this week!). Whole frozen blueberries in 1% milk.
