hat cuteness...


I love this hat from Sumomosuki! The combination of vintage sweater scraps is so unique and fun. I love the forties feel too with the side bow.

Is it possible to swoon over a plastic bag organizer? Martha Stewart, you little devil, I'm powerless to your adorable organizational ways.

whoopie!


I first discovered the whoopie pie in small town Wisconsin this past summer. Sold by two Amish women, it was pure side of the road joy. It looks like it would be really dense but it's light and airy and just like heaven. This whoopie pie kit from Little Brown Pen is just too adorable. The kit includes 8 muslin bags, 8 gift tags, and her grandmother's whoopie pie recipe. She says it's "legendary" and I'm dying to find out!

I think this vintage pendant lamp from LampGoods would be so adorable in our dining room. Pretty and old school for a pretty little old school house.

I remember having stamps when I was younger, the fascination didn't last very long. It may be time to pick them up again. This stamp set from Lemon Tree is too cool. I love the modern prints.

I already own a reusable grocery tote but I thought these stripe ones from Baggu were too adorable to pass up. I bought the baby one and, as Goldilocks would say, it's "just right" for my lunch.

I love when comfort doesn't have to sacrifice style. This can certainly be true of this hoodie by Prairie Underground. The details are romantic and perfectly adorable.

I am in love with these little note birds from Amy Interiors! Each bird comes with a vellum scroll with a pre-written message or a blank one to write one of your own. I would use these birds again and again with my own paper. Whenever your hubbie or child was having a special day or a bad day, they could find a surprise bird outside their bedroom door with a little note of encouragement or congratulations. Adorable.

I found the cutest blog today. iDiY is dedicated to weddings but they have so many cute ideas that could be used in everyday life. These hand soap labels are adorable and I would love to make some just for little ol' me. Check out their DIY Tutorials and Freebies/Downloads/ sections.

I stumbled onto this site Honest Fare, a food blog by a woman named Gabi in Florida. I haven't even really begun to look at her recipes but her photos are very pretty. I love this photo of her aprons, probably mainly because I really want to copy it for the stairwell leading to our basement. I love the mismatched knobs, they are adorable!

hanger art...


I've been seeing this idea of using skirt hangers to hang art for awhile now, but never with an additional hanger at the bottom for support. Either way, with one or two, it's definitely cute. It adds a little pizazz to something you would ordinarily just tack up.

It must have been the brief glimpse of 50 degree weather that got me thinking about my front porch because now I am really in the mood to spruce up its drab looking self. I found this cute Amy Butler fabric from down shadow lane for some pillow covers that I think will do just the trick!

This is absolutely genius! I love fancy window films (see "j'taime" and "window lace"), but with the fancy comes the pricey. Or at least until now! With Design*Sponge's diy instructions, I can just make my own with regular clear contact paper and white paint! Love, love, love it.

define me...


I love quizzes and I love decorating so it makes sense that I would be intrigued by quizzes that define one's style. Sproost has an interesting quiz that determines your personal style based on your opinion of varying rooms. I never seem to be totally agree with my results when it comes to these quizzes, but I guess as long as "chic" is in the description I'm OK. What is your personal style?

Mine is:
60% Cottage Chic
30% Rustic Revival
10% Vintage Modern

I have the cutest little matchbook notepad from a restaurant in NYC called Cafe Gitane. An adorable notepad to match an adorable restaurant. Definitely go if you are ever near Mott Street! Seriously. I'm not joking.

I have been hesitant to even use the notepad because I don't want my memento run out! I don't know why I didn't think of just replacing the pages or for that matter, making more! All those cute matchbooks that pile up in junk drawers can now be put to good use with this tutorial from Design*Sponge.

I love how the blog world can keep you stumbling from one new blog to the next. Fall in love with one, see who else they love, and suddenly there is not enough time to keep up with all your new loves.

On Monday bliss led me to A Cup of Jo and now A Cup of Jo has led me to Garance Dore. Joanna Goddard (A Cup of Jo) interviews Garance Dore how to dress like a french woman and I love it. It's a simple look into a french woman's style.

For more from Joanna, check out her relationship blog at Glamour: Smitten
