stick it to me


What is better than hanging a great framed print or painting on your wall? Why, sticking one to it of course! I have seen quite a few vinyl wall decals in the last little while at home decor stores, but none has tickled my fancy like the ones from artist Jenn Ski. I absolutely love her retro style. She has a great ">etsy page as well as a lovely blog which I follow daily. Once again, sigh...

The above decals are available in a number of colors on Jenn's etsy page for only $12 USD

shifts and roses

Well with all this lovely weather I had to succumb to shaving my legs... I'm sure you all can relate. So I thought, why not start wearing dresses (I have really stocked up in the last year or so) I am enjoying the retro feel of some of the cuts this season, especially this lovely shift dress from narcissist.com

oh and while you're at it, pair them with these lovely rose studs from Gingerly Designs



"Giselle" dress - $155, Rose studs - $21

summer deck parties please...


It's about this time of year when I spend a portion of my day trying to find leaves budding on trees. I guess a part of me feels like I will be relieved of this prolonged winter blues syndrome I and others seem to be suffering from this year, when I see my first leaf.
This flowered enameled picnic wear from www.vivaterra.com made me just a little excited as I dreamed of sitting on my patio drinking all sorts of calorie chalked drinks. Bring on summer, I'm ready... really... I mean it.
Enamel Cups (set of 4) - Blue, Red, Yellow, Green - $55

my clock obsession

As a child, I was always fascinated my my Grandma's cuckoo clock. It was a genuine German one, straight from the Black Forest... I think she still has it. I wonder now if she would part with it, it would look lovely in my kitchen. However, if she won't there there are more modern options. sigh...
