To Stick or not to Stick?

I know that wall decals are coming back in a big big way, but I'm still a bit...eh? I don't know. Is it weird? Are they pretty? Are they cheesy? Is it too much trouble?

I mean, I get it for a baby's room. That's the majority of cool ones that I found. Like this one from Coolil:

But what about for a home? Like..your living room?

Crafty Easter Eggs

I stumbled across this website searching for...get ready...mini gold foiled craft leaves. I know. Don't even ask.

But the site itself is gorgeous and they have this beautiful little DIY on there for these charming little Easter Egg boxes. I'm usually not a fan of overly intricate antiquey things, but the possibilities are endless! I always forget about decoupage...

Heart to Haiti

First, I have to say I've been HORRIBLE about posting! This past week was insane, so updates are coming. And I haven't even had time to visit all of the wonderful blogs that I usually frequent. My deepest apologies!

Secondly, my beautiful friend Stephanie is over in Haiti helping piece back together the broken hearts there. I deeply respect her and wish I had the gumption to drop my life and do something bigger than my day to day selfish existence.

But alas, there are fabulous people in this world who DO do that, and to them I am eternally grateful.

I religiously read her fascinating blog, Heart to Haiti . There was this picture that inspired the artist in me and I had to share.

These are packages of scented candles on the store shelves - a huge luxury over there. Aren't they just lovely?

Jonathan Adler Giveaway

LOVE Jonathan Adler. LOVE giveaways.

I hoping that just this one time I can get some luck and win one of these fabulousnesses (um, no. that's not a real word).

There are 3 drawings - 1 on March 22 for a porcelain frame (I'm not quite sure if this is the frame or not -but they're all very yummy):

March 29 for a monogram pillow:

April 5 for a monogram rug:

Thank you!

I got some wonderful blog love from the very talented and ultra-fabulous Susan over at Chirps and Cheers (a perfect little paper store in Edmond, Oklahoma).

Thanks!

Handmade Love: Easter Felt Acorns

I saw these over at etsy from FairyFolk . Aren't they adorable? I want 50 million to put on my table...=)

"eat pray love" love

I LOVED this book - along with every other woman in the world who has felt like they lost a bit of their passion somewhere along the roadside.

Plus, it really ignited my love of reading again after I went though a dark period of constant work and didn't ever have a chance to get lost in myself. You know what I mean? There's nothing more satisfying to me than breathing and getting lost for a bit in something, anything, and realizing that hours went by. I've once spent 8 hours straight painting and when I was done began crying from joy. Yeah. I'm weird.

And I just saw the trailer for this book of beauty and CAN'T WAIT! I think Julia is the perfect choice too. Oh yummy yummy.
