Dreaming .........

from here via here.

I love this picture....

I just spent the whole night with my mom watching Gilmore Girl reruns and making things like acorn squash and cookies. I wish I had a huge kitchen with beautiful cabinets and counter tops and a TV. I once had a TV in my kitchen it was amazing. Especially at Christmas.

The Spotted Moth

I found this stop the Spotted Moth... I love the name but I also love the clothes...

Oh my The Carousel dress, I would have totally bought it right this very second if they were not sold out. Isn't it just the greatest.

Isn't this the most beautiful scarf!

The Pollyanna Coat

(It comes with that amazing collar!!)

Love This

I was supposed to be Christmas shopping on Etsy but instead I bought this for my husband and I was so excited because we love Bill Murray that I already showed it to him.

I love this Bill Murray Shirt

Lip Balm Labels

Here are my Root Beer Float lip balm test labels.

I liked them so much I did a couple of tiny alterations and ordered them in 9 styles... different colors of course...

so pretty soon I will be selling lip balms.

Stuff I like... with links I can't find.

My husband and I wanted to have a carnival/ circus theme wedding but since we were getting married in December it was going to be a little too cold. Every so often we think... "um want to renew our vows so we can have a circus wedding?" But it seems to be a bit soon (we have been married for 2 1/2 years) Its my fault.... I love to plan parties. This couple here had the cutest engagement pictures I ever saw. I love them.

here

I have a tendency of saving pictures of things I like on my desktop but never really remembering where I found them...

Cutest invitations EVER!

I want this store front so I can start my gluten free bakery and coffee shop! I want it bad.

(So if you know where I can find it let me know please)

Some beautiful looking cakes

Back to School

Well then I guess Summer is almost over.... so sad. Yesterday was the first day back to work. I wanted to stay at the beach but it didn't happen. (I was on "vacation" last week)

So here is what I am excited about instead....

I made this cake for Robin's B-day. Happy Birthday Robin!

Yes, Those are SKITTLES!!!

I made and ordered some test labels for my lip balms....

They really have a nice scalloped edge.....

I named the company Honey Bunny Bear after my snuggly cat...

and speaking of cats!!!!!

This is Elenor

Robin's new kitten... So So Cute!!

I want to paint a room like this wall..

Pauly and I are going to lay on the couch and watch Lost!!!!

I want to do some nice napping and maybe shop a little and make some things on my nice long 3 day weekend!!

Wednesday...

I am trying to clear out some clutter in my house.

Ooops I know I wasn't supposed to buy more stuff... but I couldn't really help it. Look how lovely. So I had about 4 minutes before I had to leave for work and I just sort of bought this. I mean I really wasn't thinking .... but I am so excited to get it.

from My Selvages Life

I played monopoly all day with 7 year olds. And I went to visit my friend, Kristen, at the hospital because she had the cutest little baby today. His name is Mason.

I Dream in Cotton Candy

Oh I love anything Circus or Carnival related.... Thats why I need these super cute cards....

riflemade

I am also in love with cotton candy...

I dream of cotton candy clouds.

I am (sort of) patiently awaiting the delivery of my new lip balm supplies so I can continue making delicious new flavors and scents. I am planning to make some root beer and some cotton candy flavored lip balms very soon.

Friday

Well its Friday!!!! I have been looking up lots of new ways to fix things..... I need a change of scenery. I am considering several options for the weekend.... including but not limited to...

1. making a bunch of clothes

2. farmers market then lots of baking.... (if I can find a farmers market in Litchfield)

3.Painting my cabinets in the kitchen... not sure how that is going to pan out. Pretty much I just want to go to Ikea and get a new kitchen or find sweet vintage cabinets on the side of the road. actually that would be the best.

4. Lots of etsy shopping.... I found two million things I need to buy people on etsy.

I just love it.

so I am off to a picnic in about 12 minutes.

but

If you can't find me its cause I moved here....

or here....

But either way I'll be in Switzerland living in an Earth House.

oh Happy August

Whats really weird is that I have been sort of hot lately. Not normal at all for me. Of course I am an idiot who things its appropriate to wear jeans and converse and knee socks in August.... but anyway so I have been thinking about some cooler weather things which is very strange for me cause I live for the summer. But I also live for cooking and Christmas!!!! So here are a few things that I found on Etsy that I have to get for some people for Christmas Presents cause they are amazing.

Oh right these are actually for me.....
