things i saw, things i love

oh weekends, blissful glorious weekends. I can’t get enough of you!

Here are some things that have caught my eye recently…. hope you like!

I have a wish that someone will make me a quilt as colorful as this one someday. I am such a quilt person and the colors and patterns in this one are so bright and beautiful. Photo via flickr.

How adorable are these handmade hairpins by Little Miss Mamma. She’s inspired by anthropologie and gives a great tutorial on how to make these gems over at KoJo Designs.

I love the light in this bedroom. The skylights are a dream come true and I love the wall paper on that one wall. Looks so simple and pretty! Also note the bookshelves right in the alcove by the bed. Perfect! Photo seen at My Ideal Home.

Yummy fruit skewers!! All this needs is some strawberries and raspberries and they would be the skewers from heaven. Summer fruit, I love you! Photo from flickr.

Speaking of summer (it’s all summer, all the time in this head of mine), I think this carnival party theme from Martha Stewart is so fun. So perfect for a July or August birthday!

I recently saw this purse/travel bag on Pinterest and I’m head over heals in love. I can’t figure out where it’s from though! Anyone know? If so, let me in on the secret. Isn’t it so awesome!?

And lastly, I’m perfectly addicted to buying bowls at anthropologie. I’ve started collecting a few of these lovely patterns and I won’t stop until I have them all. I love the mismatch look!

Hope you’re having a great weekend!! I’m enjoying my time in Connecticut visiting my new tiny baby cousin, little Hope Elea. She’s too precious for words!
