laundry fiesta.

We have been feeling REALLY anxious for Spring

up at work and we decided to get an early start on it...

so yesterday, spring came to the studio. ;)

We have gotten so many pretty new fabrics for Spring and i

wanted to diplay them in a way that would catch your eye

and draw you in so i made a four "laundry" lines

 and clipped up some of our favs...

We also made TISSUE PAPER FLOWERS!

we had a fun, crafty time makin them...

and then i just placed them throughout the retail part of the studio

for some fun pops of color!



now if Spring would just ACTUALLY come, that would be great. haha

hope you all have a very lovely weekend!

spring teaser.

i might just be a wee bit obsessed with

JCrews Spring Look Book...it's just down right yummy.

and according to Pantone's top ten color picks for Spring 2011,

they are right on track with the color trends...( i'm sure it was by accident :)

 i also love the bright orangey red lipstick on each of the models

would i look like a clown? most likely.

 these scalloped pink shorts with the cutie pie bow are my favorite.

 tribal prints and stripes both seem to be all over the place.

am i ready for Spring to officially be here?

duh.

i just know this fabulous weather is a tease, but i hope not. ;)

i hope each and every one of you has a WONDERFUL weekend!!!



polish present.

Meredith at Sweet T family hosted a Polish Swap 

and I joined in for the fun...

my super polish swap partner, Kim, got me Essie's

NEED A VACATION.

Perfection...I love it! and I got it yesterday,

 What a great Valentine's Day surprise!Thanks Kim!

have a wonderful Tuesday!

digest this.

reader's digest books come in SO many different colors...

i have collected bunches of them since college to decorate with

( i've only read TWO stories out of them...both murder mysteries...haha)

every book has a different spine color and a

patterned paper on the front and back covers.

i love finding these books at thrift stores in their

solid book jackets and and taking the jackets off to see

what pretty paper is hiding inside...

the book spines are very pretty, but lately I have been

 wanting to create a fresher look. so i just turn the books

 around and feature the cover papers instead of the spines...

i have always found them at various thrift stores,

 but i was looking on Etsy the other day and found some!

 Rene at Cottage and Vine sells them in her Etsy shop... check em out!
