design: creative kid's corner

design idea i'm filing away for later days:

i got this image from a super creative designer/mom/blogger who runs the happy home blog and inspires me for the kind of creative momma i want to be.  my favorite parts are: the clothespin art gallery & tin pans for art supplies -- too cute!  [full article here]

random: funky fishbowl

i stumbled upon this post on the quirky design blog, design for mankind.  it's quite possibly the most unique fish tank I have ever seen -- a "luxury fish hotel!"

check it out! :

I honestly have never seen anything so fun for fishies!  It's not even that expensive, so if anyone want to buy me a little present go ahead and click here  ;)

These are great.

And wouldn't they been even better with those thin slouchy glittery socks I've been searching for?

sooo me

If you know me in my real life you are smiling right now. It's b/c this girl is dressed exactly like me. (She just needs a little sparkle mixed in and this is literally exactly what I dress like every day.) I have a new love for berangere claire.

Taking a Break

Sorry for my week long unexplained disappearance, everything is fine, I'm just overwhelmed by how much revision I have to do and is spending 9am - 11pm in the library!! Will be back when exams finish around early June, thanks to all my lovely readers for your understanding :)

random: posh picnic

 

coco+kelley: LET THEM EAT POSH

 i absolutely adore picnics and preppy style, so i'm slightly in love with this posh picnic themed image board. i especially love the wine tote by Anya Hindmarch!

terrain anyone?

Tonight, I am so happy to tell you I have been invited to show my bridal illustrations- and some other work, at the lovely Terrain at Styers. I have been fan of Terrain since I moved to DE so I am so happy to be showing my work there. If you live in PA, DE or anywhere nearby I'd live to invite you to stop in and see the work and the pretty space- you won't regret it. Plus- I'd love to meet you!

You are invited :) tonight, from 6-9, 914 baltimore pike.
a wedding and event services event.

rain, rain

no may flowers here just yet. I have pulled out my equestrian wellies from dav rain (the black ones below, and my matching black umbrella) - and set out to pick up some framing today.
I tend to wear some impractical clothing when it rains. white jeans with my wellies...sometimes even big brights florals. It keeps my happy in the wet cold.
Other things keeping my smiling: Coach's new webpage!

How sweet! Bring on spring!!!
