TOAST

I've been in love with TOAST for a couple of years now...and since I'm on a polyvore kick, why not a European, TOAST-inspired board? They pretty much have the loveliest skirts, don't they?

parties and projects

A few photos from my week...this is what I've been busy with! Minus about a thousand other things, but you know, you can't document everything. :)

Made up a lovely pair of wrist warmers in a coral-blush-pink color. They're gorgeous, and since they cost me absolutely nothing but a couple hours of my time, they're definitely a win.

Hosted a tea party for the twins...I ran out of time and couldn't do everything I had planned on doing, but it went well, and the little guests couldn't stop talking about it!

We ate crème brûlée, and it was delicious...

The tablescape...my favorite part was the tissue paper-tassel-garland in the background

[it only took me six hours to make it...no big deal.]

After the tea party, I hung up the pictures in my bedroom...

We also made lots of cookies!

And my Christmas tree...just because. :)

Ever since I was a little girl, I made wish lists...things I loved to dream about, even though I knew I would never own most of what I wrote down. And I still make lists. They're a little more refined and understated than they used to be, but they still make me happy--even if I never receive anything on them! :) Here's my 2011 wish list...I'll continue to add to it, since this is hardly even the beginning, ha! It's a beautiful thing to dream...

Lovely things from Anthropologie...

Inspire: [native american]

I can't even begin to tell you how much I'm loving Native American-inspired things. It probably began with my too-short-of-stay in Oklahoma this past summer, then took firm root when I acquired these lovely Minnetonka moccasins.

Here are a few of my Etsy finds...I can't help but loooove the colors, the reds, yellows, oranges, and shades of turquoise blue. The combination of bold patterns and simple, nature-inspired looks. As if each piece has an uncommon story to tell.
