Bungalow 4

I just read somewhere this morning that West Elm has a new line with a world market theme coming out June 12th.  So I hopped over to their website to see if I could get a sneak peek.  If it's there I didn't see it but I did see this very pretty blue stripe vase under the what's new column and it's on sale.

Seaside vases - Stripe

They scream cottage beach house to me.  I really like them and they're on sale starting at $6.99.

They make me think of this...

Check out those views!

Happy Friday!

Have you checked out Wisteria lately?  I have to say that I haven't in a while until yesterday when I saw this...

British Colonial Cabinet

Don't you just love it?  Bright fun color..check.  Bamboo detailing...check.  Greek fret panel...check.  What's not to love?

It also comes in Orange

And Green

Wistera

I want to apoligize for the sporadic posts lately.  So much going on working and keeping up with my boys and doing a lot of soul searching trying to figure out which way to go to find a career that I am passionate about.  I know it's out there and I know I'm getting close.  Just bare with me...

In the meantime, enjoy these lovely images of one of my  favorite color trends...gray and yellow. 

I am thinking about redoing my boys bedroom since little l just turned two and he really loves laying in big L's bed.  Maybe it's time to move out the crib and move in a big boy bed.  We actually have one under our house that matches the bed we currently have in the room.  Plus, it gives me a good reason to spruce up the room.  I have had my eye on anything Union Jack lately.  Maybe it's everywhere because of the Queen's diamond jubilee.  Anyway, I'm thinking of using it in their room.  Actually I am toying with doing half US and half London.  Who knows.  Anyway here are some fun Union Jack decor images.



There's just something about it that I love.  I'm not going to go crazy and do the whole room in it or anything maybe just one or two things. 

Have a great weekend!

I can't believe that our little guy will be turning 2 at the end of this month.  He seems so grown up and yet I am still clinging to the last bit of baby that he still is.  It's likely (very very likely) that he is my last and I am okay with that.  At least I think I am.  Anyway I have been stressing over what kind of party to have.  Do I invite his friends?  Do I keep it just family?  Decisions, decisions....

I have decided on one thing though, and it's the theme.  We are going to do a circus party.  It will be small but there are so many things that we can do for cheap that will make it really special.  For instance we will have snow cones with my new snow cone machine.  And I think I may rent a cotton candy machine.  Possibly a bounce house.  And there are a ton of free and not so free printables for invites and decorations online.  Here are some circus printables and pictures that I found.

one charming party

These are just a few ideas.  I want to keep it simple seeing as how he is too young to really get the whole theme thing.  But I know he'll have a blast with whatever we decide. I will post pics of the party after the big day.

Just wanted to take a moment to wish all the mothers and soon to be mothers a very happy mother's day.  I am just thankful to have such a wonderful mom and my two precious boys and that's really enough for me.  But... if I did have to name something I would like for mother's day I would pick this....

Frontgate's Waring Pro Snow Cone machine

It's nothing fancy.  It's not jewlery or clothes or shoes, but it's completely me.  It's a reasonable $69.95 (if it really makes real snow cones).

I have a major sweet tooth plus I think it would be fun for my boys.  So it's really a gift for the house.  

Hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing mother's day!

It's 90 plus degrees outside and I'm at work, sitting at my desk with a headache wishing I was here....



With one of these...

Oh, what I'd do for one of these right now!
