A Day at the Bay...

This is one of my favorite local Beaches(or Bays)to go to: Belmont Shores. We decided to go to the Bay side~ if you want to catch some waves....just run across the street to the Beach side. It's right down the street from where my Dad lived when I was a kid, I loved spending weekends & Summer's there!

I also finished up a few frames for my Shop, these were flea market finds that needed some freshening up!

After.....

I hope everyone has a great weekend, I'm going to be spending most of mine catching up on Laundry :{

BookStores...Another Favorite Thing.

Love this place. I could spend hours here, just browsing around.



My daughter found possibly the sweetest book ever, All Kinds of Families! The illustrations by Marc Boutavant are amazing~ each page is like cute overload!



Love, love, LOVE his work♥♥♥

Special Deliveries.....

The last two days have been really really good Mail days. I found this Vintage yellow Lantern print Tablecloth(that matches my pink one)on-line. I recently found this design pattern and found out that it comes in Aqua too~ that's next to add to my collection.

My friend sent me this Vintage Pitcher, I Love it and can't wait to fill it with Lemonade!

This next package was an early Birthday present to me(from me). It's Handmade from PetiteHouse. I've kept an eye on her shop for awhile now, admiring her little dwellings. When I saw this....

I knew I had to have it.

I'm beyond thrilled, it's even more amazing in person!

Looking at this little piece of Art has me feeling a little unCrafty, I'd love to be able to create something as sweet as this!
Now, I'm off to find the perfect spot for it :)

Looking for Inspiration....

I have a huge project to take on: My daughters room. I promised her that while she's away I'd get started on painting her room, so I've turned to flickr for some inspiration. I'm finding that decorating your kids room when they're little is so much easier~ when they're little they love everything you do! Now my daughter says she's grown out of the Cutesy Pink, and no longer wants her room "All Shabby Chic", Huh, is she serious???
So, now we're looking for COLOR!!

1. Framed in 70´s fabrics , 2. art, 3. Art Wall Above Bed, 4. Patchwork Nest

I could spend all day looking through Boopsidaisy's photo's .

1. (Carou)salivate

1. Twas the Night Before

1. Walls @ N2Skin

This is my idea of the perfect room...amazing colors(and floral prints everywhere)! I wonder if they fall into the "Cutesy" category???

1. the new happy bed, 2. bedroom

This is my Crafting Space(Disaster area)in need of some serious organizing. I'm in the middle of a few projects for my Shop, but once I'm done, organizing this space is on the top of my to-do list!

I have a few things I'm patiently waiting to arrive in the mail{trying to be patient...but I'm SO excited}I'll share them once they're here :)
