Happy Weekend.

Happy weekend lovebugs!

What are you up to this weekend? 

Relaxing? Enjoying the great outdoors? Shopping perhaps?

As for me, I'd like to just spend some time sleeping in 

with The Husband, I enjoy cuddling with him lots!

Custom Nan Lawson.

As I've mentioned before, I am pretty darn 

smitten with Nan Lawson's art work

& I am so super excited to show you 

the custom portrait she just finished for us...

Isn't it awesome? 

Eeeek! I am in LOVE!!

Beach.

I 've have been given the opportunity to head 

down to the beach for a bit, so off I go!

See you in a few days!

DIY - Rustic Coat Hanger.

I just spotted this lovely rustic coat hanger made 

from tree branches & recycled wood over on Poppytalk...

I heart it! 

I just may make one even though I don't live in a cabin. 

But I do have lots of tree branches to spare! 

I even think it would even look cute painted completely white 

or  maybe a pale pastel color for a more modern look don't you think?

For more lovely things & inspiration from the creator Graca Paz 

head on over to her blog, flickr or etsy shop!

Happy (Fourth of July) Weekend.

Tis' 4th of July weekend so I hope you get to 

"Oooh & Ahhh" at some fireworks 
& enjoy some red white & blue desserts!

Oh & here is a little fireworks show
I found that I thought you may enjoy...

Happy 4th of July!!!

Three Festive Recipes.

Hip! Hip! Hooray! It is Fourth of July weekend! Woot! Woot! 

Can you tell I'm a little excited? Honestly, The 4th has always been one of my favorite holidays.

I think it is the mix of fireworks & festive desserts involving red, white & blue things. 

Which most often translates to fresh berries of all sorts- yum!

Here are three recipes which would be definite crowd pleasers in my humble opinion...

How bout some Gluten Free Fourth of July Chocolate Cake?

Or maybe some Mascarpone Stuffed Strawberries With Blueberries?

 & hey if you are super daring & patient, perhaps you will try 

your hand at Red, White & Blue Layered Jello Squares?

Whichever you try I hope you enjoy!

Yulia Brodskaya.

Have you ever heard of Yulia Brodskaya or seen her work? 

Oh my, wow! Prepare to be amazed...

Yulia creates her art entirely out of paper. Yep, you read right.

(Now scroll back up & look at those pieces again, you know you want to.) 

Each piece is created out of paper that is curled, shaped 

& molded to make up the complete design. 

How awesome is that!? 

Be sure to head on over to Yulia's website 

to check out more of her amazing work.

Byrdie Graphics.

I just bought these awesome bloom wall graphics from Byrdie Graphics

& I am so super excited to put them up in our bedroom!

I especially love how it will end up looking like wall paper since it is considered 

a wall pattern so it isn't just one graphic but several that you can arrange as you see fit...

Yippy skippy!

For more Byrdie Graphics head on over to the shop 

& yes, no worries,  I'll be sure to post after photographs shortly.

Handkerchief Art.

I'm lovin' this handkerchief art I spotted over on Poppy Talk.

What a fabulous way to spice up a room & add a lil' vintage, no?

Head on over here for the full post if you are interested 

in creating some handkerchief art of your own.
