For Some Reason . . .

I am always the last to leave a party.
I might put your lampshade on my head and I'll
surely do my infamous felting dance for you, right Reeve!

Pile It On . . .



My mom saves me all her of catalogs and every time I visit, we pour over them with our coffee in the morning. There was a new one in the pile this trip and as I started to tear out the pages, I realized that I was going to tear every one, so I just brought the whole thing home with me. Then, of course, I ended up on their website and building a wish list...


From ~ Bedding ~


to ~ Furnishings, ~


 ~ lighting ~ to the ~ floor ~
...you'll find rugs, gifts, fabrics and more...


I thought this was the ~ sweetest baby blanket ~
I've ever seen and can't wait for someone
to have a baby so I can gift this!



Remember the 2 seagrass poufs I wanted?
Good things come to those who wait!
Replace one of those poufs with one of these ~ cubes! ~


...their ~ Paint Palate ~ is irresistible...
yes, I did tear this page from the catalog for 
my inspiration board!


They promise a ~ Bazaar ~ update on May 21st!
Of course that's ~ PrettyStuff's ~ graduation weekend,
so I'll have to sneak a tiny minute to check out the finds, because
from the looks of the previous items available, they won't last long!

...and if that's not enough...


...check out the sale pages...
...I found another fabulously priced baby gift...


...so...


Visit their website!
You are assured your very own crush list!

I know, I know . . .

I just asked you to ~ turn out your lights ~
but LOOK @ THESE!






"Madeleine has always loved making things since she was a child. She went to Art School to explore drawing, sculpture, photography print and textiles and later found her happiest way of working - making the chandeliers - quite by accident after finding some chandelier glass. She has always worked in the creative field whether as a photographer, theatre prop maker or teacher before working on the chandeliers full-time."

but do it anyway!

The Thrill of The Chase . . .

Ok, so I'm not talking about Steeplechase Racing.
I love how the internet is a click, click, click
instant access to the coolest stuff.

I just saw this on ~ Spring Greens Tumblr ~ (click No.1) I reblogged it in my ~ Crush Cul de Sac Tumblr(more than one click but we'll call it No.2) then clicked over to ~ Ready Made ~ (click No.3) and landed in a VERY COOL site. Their post lead me to ~ Kara Paslay's DIY Mason Jar Chandelier ~ (click No.4). I bookmarked that page and clicked to follow her ~ blog ~ (click No.5)My next trip was to ~ Kara Paslay's Website ~ (click No.6)I like her attitude: "Do what you love, love what you do!" Next was the ~ Products for Sale Tab ~ (click No.7) because we all know I can help you spend your money. The ~ Mason Jar Chandelier ~ (click No.8) is for sale and only $200!

No.8 made my day 
and started the flurry of clicking that made me lose count,
but you're here now and my blogging duty is done for the day!
Y'all have a nice one and I'm going to go try to put a dent
in the rest of my Christmas to-dos...
I'm running out of time! 

(ps - I'll add the DIY link to my sidebar DIY List so you don't have to go chasing this around on your own.)

Gimme Some Zink !

returntable-0025-5-2
Just saw this console table on 
She posted a great home today...go see.

This table is haunting me. I even sent the picture to the master of my honey-do list along with the kitchen pics. I know he's sitting at work rolling his eyes because I send him something "I think he can make for me" daily. But we're in the middle of LITTLE fixes and tweeks in our modest little home to make us happy about being there. It's empty now (not stuff, kids, but not this weekend) and we'd love to hitch our wagon to the next star, but reality is that we're pretty planted for awhile. First it was the laundry room, since it's pretty much the entrance everyone uses. I'm sure I'll post pictures when we have all the stuff on the walls, but Jeff did a bang-up job on the wooden counter tops and beadboard walls. Of course now I think he can tackle the kitchen with his saw and nail gun, but we moved on to Hobbs's room first... well, because it has never been worthy of the artist that lives in there. We're not finished with either of those projects and I'm off planning the next. Does anybody know where a do-it-yourselfer can find zink? I'm thinking my kitchen island so I need a big piece! Those of you that know me are shaking your head saying "typical, what does she think she can make all by herself now?" But new stuff makes all your old stuff look really old. And I don't mean in a fine antique kinda way... Except the way this sconce is hung on this old door...I'm gonna do that somewhere too! PrettyStuff, you want that in your room?!!
