{button delivery!}

I love buttons and all trims for that matter. But, buttons...they're my current obsession. And though, I've been scouring for perfectly colored vintage buttons - I couldn't resist when I saw this little pack to create-your-own. Make my own? Why, yes! They could be the perfect embellishment to my homemade pillows and other such delights.

...taking off work and being by the sea today. Well, maybe in my dreams at least!

What would you like to be doing on the mid-week day?

{ta da!}

To my sweet surprise, I was blessed with another Glassybaby!!! The gift was so wonderful and unexpected and fits perfectly with my current collection.

I heart glassybabies and sweet friends.

Are you currently collecting anything you heart?

Saw this adorable handmade wooden toy on the Storque. Couldn't resist passing on the cuteness. For more from Santa Barbara Crafts click here!

I had several favorite childhood toys, but the top of my list belongs to a sweet doll. I took her {Mary} everywhere with me! Once after her head started ripping, my dear Grandpa took her to a 'doll hospital'...or so he told me. She was good as new!

What was your favorite childhood toy?

{crazy for navy and maybe a little red....}

...Either that, or I'm just plain crazy for Kate Spade. I love her designs cause they seem to come from a different era. More than that...I just LOVE navy right now. I'm craving it in nearly everything....from decor, to clothes, to yarn, to jewelry.

*Speaking of yarn. I picked up some scruptious navy yarn at one of my favourite shops yesterday. It will be perfect for a new little baby blanket I'm working on!

Are you craving navy right now?

{projects, projects and more projects}

Taking a survey of all my projects, overwhelmed me a bit. I therefore, spent some time working my hands at some of my favorite crafts. Seems like I barely made a dent, but I did have fun.

Happy Monday

{bonjour !}

There's no way to really segue into blogging again after such a long break; however, it was time I returned to this dear blog.  What better way to come back, than to bring my two passions together: French and Cooking.   Pick up this fun little toast imprint at Independence Studios.  This would be fun to change up a morning routine or even to share when guests come by.
