while searching for a new iphone case, i came across these pretties from cath kidston. i’ve got to do a little more digging and find out if they are available for purchase in the states because i’d LOVE one of these!

update – they are available here for purchase in the states. yay!

i just found out that zara carries a kids line, and it’s SO stinkin’ cute!

have you seen this?! i would have looooved to have had an art party as a kid! heck, i’d love one now.

how was your holiday weekend? enjoyable? i hope so. kacey, em and i went to the lake house this weekend. we did a bit of relaxing. a bit of sailing. a bit of jet skiing. also, a bit of game playing. his parents bought a game called bananagrams. if you like scrabble or words with friends then you’ll love bananagrams. and if you have a large group of people, i suggest getting two sets. that’s what they did. plus, they marked one set with a dot on each tile [see above]. that way 2 or 3 players can play with one set and not have to use all of the letters from both sets. anywho, we had a blast. now i’m just playing a little catch up. i just finished a little printing, and now i’m about to tackle my inbox.

wouldn’t these look lovely filled with colored pencils? i know they’d pretty up my desk for sure. and they are affordable, too!

gingham picnic plates? yes, please!

have you seen this toadstool twine set from wee waldorf? cute!

have you seen what my friend kate has been working on? escort cards, menus, favor tags and more all cut from unconventional materials like wood and plastic. and totally customizable. you can purchase them here.
