Roses

I still can't believe I'm responsible for these.
When I planted this rose bush four years ago I really didn't expect too much from it. I've never been good with plants or planting anything, so I'm always thrilled when I see a blooming rose{let alone a couple dozen}.
When I see a house with overflowing rose bushes I always wonder if they actually cut them and have them throughout their home...because I would, and do.

Just a few of my favorite vintage vases, filled and ready to place around the house♥

Terrariums

Holy Cow, does it get any cuter than this??? I know there's been a whole Terrarium craze this last year{even though they've been around since the early 1800's, you can see the History of Terrariums here} normally I like what I like, not usually what's Hot~ but how can you not love Terrariums??? My Paper Crane has taken them to another level.... I am seriously crazy about these!!
They were being sold at the Renegade Handmade Craft Fair in Chicago{which has already come and gone} but you might be able to snag one here....if there are any left, unfortunately they're almost sold out :(

She's also created the cutest Terrariums Fabric, which you can purchase on Spoonflower or in her Etsy Shop.

Eggs, New Fabric & Flea Market Finds

I used to have four Decorators, now I'm down to two. I guess 15 and 17 year old boys aren't too into decorating Easter eggs???? Thank goodness my girls still love doing this stuff!
I've been anxiously awaiting this little package....
If you've never heard of Spoonflower, you really need to check it out. It's a place where you can design, print and sell your own fabric{and also buy}**Warning: You'll end up stuck to your computer{for way too long}browsing through the pages and pages of fabric AND you just might find your Cart overflowing by the time you're done. This is what I ended up with, but believe me I could have easily picked out a dozen more!!

Such cute & fun prints, now to figure out what I'm gonna do with them.
Here's a few things I picked up Saturday at the Flea Market: Dutch themed tablecloth, flat floral sheet, terry cloth toaster cover, terry cloth apron, handmade coasters and a 1958 Carnation's cookbook. I was there looking for frames, vintage jewelry and buttons....sometimes you end up in a whole different direction :)

Finding your Chosen Path...

What an inspiring video! I came across it after finding her Book "Confections of a Closet Master Baker". Although I'm not the best baker{or that I do much baking at all}it reminded me of how much I loved my first job which was working in a Bakery~ seriously the best job ever! How nice to see someone getting a second chance to do what they truly love♥
