Lane's Little Bear

Along with my book club, I hosted a baby shower for my friend Lane this weekend.  It was good because it gave me an excuse to completed a knitting project - something I've been slacking on lately.  I made her this little garter stitch brown bear.  He's not perfect but I think that's what makes handmade gifts nice.  They aren't finding out the sex of the baby so his bow is a gender neutral navy and white polka dot.  We can change it out to blue or pink down the road!

Happy Menocal Art

Happy Menocal's name describes it all...Happy Art. And that's just what it is to me.  (Especially those pet portraits...)

Black Olive Cards

Loving these greeting cards from Black Olive in the UK.  Each one feels like a little mini work of art.  I'd love to frame some of them!  They feel very happy and carefree.

Photo Prettiness for your Monday

I want to get married...again.  No, not to a different husband.  I just want to redesign my wedding again...and again, and again.  Don't get me wrong.  I LOVED my first wedding and wouldn't have changed anything about it.  (Even the things that went kind of wrong like the flowers still added up to make it one of the happiest days of my life.)

Now with my Pinterest addiction and all of the blogs I read,

Michelle Edgemont has a really cool job.  She styles weddings.  She also does floral arrangements, invitations, etc.  The whole kit and kaboodle.  I just love looking at the pictures and imagining the fabulous parties that were had.  Makes me happy for a Monday.
