Spring Break At The Beach

I am taking a much needed vacation

at the beach with my family...

Here are some of the colors

that I've been admiring already...

Love this picture...

I will try to follow all these rules...

I wish I could look so glamorous...

I will be back next Monday...

Have a great week!

Sweet Friday - Bunting, Flag Banners, Garland

Could anything be sweeter than bunting, flag banners, garland?
(Whatever you'd like to call it)...
I completely think not...
I don't know what it is about it but it's just so happy...
Perfect for a Friday...
Here are a few favorites that I spied on Etsy...

Add a little tulle skirt to this...oh my!

Could there be anything more precious?
A cake topper...

How sweet would this be in a little girl's room
hanging on a dresser or mirror...

Talk about a fabulous way to spice up an ordinary cake...
fondant bunting...
I love, love, love this!

And of course my favorite done by Potter & Butler...

Happy Weekend!

An Adult Alice In Wonderland Tea Party

My friend is planning an Alice in Wonderland tea party

for adults...

I thought I'd help her do some research...

Here is some of the inspiration that I found...

I love this quote...

Wouldn't this be a perfect Alice dress?

So beautiful...

It's all in the details isn't it?

I love how the theme is carried out
in such a charming way...

My favorite...
This scene totally reminds me of 
Alice's tea party in Wonderland...

This is my other favorite pic...
I'm especially loving the books hanging from the branches!

An Alice table would not be complete without clocks...

In The Pink

Nothing conjures up images of Spring

more than the color pink...

So here is a little inspiration 

to remind you that Spring has sprung...

I'd like to have this chair for my desk...

It radiates prettiness...

Since the days are longer

why not relax with an ice cold pink drink...

This dress is absolutely SPECTACULAR!

Did I mention how much I L-O-V-E it?

You know Spring has arrived 

when you start to see the abundance of

gorgeous flowers begging to be admired...

Shouldn't we always take time to stop and smell the flowers?

Of course parties are wonderful anytime...
But in the Spring they are even more fabulous...
Especially when they are this pink...

Pretty Letters

Don't you just love getting letters and/or invitations in the mail?

Have you ever thought what you could do

to pretty up those sometimes boring envelopes?

All you need is a great envelope, some vintage stamps

and your finest writing...

I love this whole color combo...

the striped bag...

the many stamps...

the bright envelope...

Unique stamps can make all the difference...

Yes...it is easier to pop on one of those Forever stamps...

But with a little thought you can have the necessary ingredients

for a perfect mailing on hand...

Etsy has some great choices...I typed in unused postage stamps...

Or how about the next time you're at the Post Office, 

ask to see all the different stamps they have...

(the person behind you will just have to wait...

you are taking time to make life pretty & that's what's important)

and choose some unique ones that you can mix & match with...

Use different colored ink when you are addressing...
Or even write on a slant...
Think about your motiff...
I love how this horse party flows...

Jazz up your envelopes...

Who said you have to use what comes with the card?

Look how gorgeous & unique these glassine envelopes are...

With just a tad of planning

you can make your mail eyecandy...

Why not?

Everyone reaps the rewards...

you, the postal worker & of course the recipient!

Chevron or Zigzag

I've been noticing this zigzag pattern has become quite popular...

Did you know it had a name?

Chevron...

It comes in all different colors

and I just love it!...

Take a peek of some of the goodies I've found...

I spotted these pretties on P is for Party...

You must go and read about this party

sent in by Catherine Clay...

Precious!

And as you can tell, she used Chevron...

Is this the sweetest baby nursery you've seen?

I adore that bunting on the crib...

Don't forget to notice the floor...Chevron...

Doesn't it make such a statement?

I designed these chevon notecards as a surprise for my friend...

Surprise Kristy!  They'll be heading your way shortly...

Amy Atlas was before the times...as usual...

Is this chevron cake gorgeous or what?!...

Yellow chevron chair amidst the pink walls...

Love this color combo...

Notice the turquoise chevron napkins peeking out...

I really like how it turns up the volume..

Chevron can even be used for bathing suits...

Chevron flat notecards...

I whipped these up this weekend so I would have them

when I needed to send notes in to Goosie Girl's school...

Stylish & functional, don't you think?....

Chevron...

Zigzag...

Whatever you want to call it...

It's a fabulous pattern that comes in all colors

and really adds a pop of interest...

Are you a Chevron lover now that you've seen

all this eyecandy?
