Remember the post about that fabulous zebra that could totally replace a disco ball? Well I just spotted these over at Joy’s blog and fell in love. All of the garlands and pinatas are made by hand in New York City by Confetti System. Let’s have a party. Heck, no need for a party. Just toss these up and liven up any space. Can you imagine these at a workplace? That could brighten up the day…






Tassel Garlands are made of tissue paper and mylar. You can request a custom color combo or go with the Multi-Color, Neutrals or Brights {$130.00/ea}.
Check out the pinata section, too! Oh, and browse around their site because they do amazing things for parties/events, etc.

Octavia Bloom is a great jewelry shop run by Jenny Christiansen. I had bookmarked her goods a while back as one that I had to share with you because of the work that I can only imagine she puts in to each piece. It’s been some time since I have visited an Anthropologie shop, but you may recognize her baubles there as well. Here are just a few of my favorites…

1. Louie’s Sunbathing Necklace: $88.00
2. Ms. Dapper’s Blue Sky Hoops: $98.00
3. Remington Rae’s Sandcastle Earrings: $96.00
4. Olivene’s Rosie Charm: $42.00

Aloha, friends! I have been so busy during the past few weeks, thus the silence here. I apologize and am getting caught up on things, emails, posts, life, blah, blah, blah. How have you all been? A couple of things that I am working on are special ad rates for the summer, guest posts/features, more crafty folks interviews, and more giveaways. What do you think? Sound fun? Let me know if you’re interested and we’ll get crackin’ on some projects together.

HELLO recycled wooden sign by wkd studios: $42.00

Turquoise-esque, perhaps? I came across so many lovely photos of things in this shade that I thought while they may not be the perfect definition of it, they would do just fine for this post. So pretty…

I just squealed with joy when I saw that this is available for pre-order…

One of my faves, Emily Martin of The Black Apple, has a book that will be released on November 2! The Black Apple’s Paper Doll Primer: Activities & Amusement for the Curious Paper Artist is a 160 page craft book full of illustrations and all sorts of Emily-goodness. I am really looking forward to receiving this in my mailbox.

Pink. I honestly don’t think I was ever really a pink kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong, I do like some things that are that color. Maybe it depends on the shade. Come to think of it I do not have a piece of clothing that is pink. Am I the only female like this? The funny thing is, when I was searching for pretty images to share with you for this color feature, I came across images of Jem and the Holograms. I loved her with all that pink hair {you did, too, right?}. Hope you’ll enjoy and have a great Thursday…
