Lil Works of Art

I have been collecting Lily's scribbles and masterpieces since she first began her love affair with crayons and I have been wondering what to do with the massive collection I have accumulated over the past 2 years. Today I was reading another fav blog, kenziepoo.com and received the perfect answer. A collage made by Interior Decorator Jan Eleni! Isn't it just beautiful!

Jan will collect your child’s art and other paper treasures, they edit the pieces and pull together a feel of the art, then all art will be returned to you in archival boxes. Their end product is a professionally framed collage of little square-sized repro cards for you to treasure. A vast collection of art turned into one specialty piece of art. What a great idea! Love it!


Here are also some lovely children’s rooms Jan decorated, which I love! In one of the photo’s you will notice her lovely collage.

Lovely Things Thursday

I have become quite enchanted by a few things lately...

Miss James is the princess of vintage fashion and is expecting a lovely little bird. I can't get enough of her weekly belly shots and love the way she mixes her vintage pieces so beautifully.

Sexy Little Things Noir Body Mist from Victoria's Secret smells so delish! I've been wearing it non stop since I received it as a gift.

Design*Sponge is another of my favorite blogs! They have crafty ideas and I die for all the features they do on refurbished furniture. I have added refurbishing to my goal list for this year because of all the amazing pieces they show on their blog.

I hope to make this a weekly feature and show some of the things that make my heart flutter!

Sewing Machines and Coloring My Hair

I'm going to start this post with the simple fact that I am an addict... I am addicted to hair color and pretty fabric! In the past six months I have gone from a blonde...

to a redhead...
and I am currently a dark chestnut brunette.
What can I say, I love changing my look. I also love making things. It doesn't matter what it is as long as I can craft it with my own hands. I went through a phase where I made feather hairpieces every waking second of the day. I was incredibly good at it and even had a store carrying some of my pieces but I eventually became bored and moved on. I am now obsessed with my new sewing machine and have plans to make Lily a whole wardrobe of pretty things! Just my thoughts for today....XOXO
