Espresso

Been seeing a lot of antique espresso cups and saucers, they are very cute to put on a stack of magazines, on your dresser to hold earrings, or even to plant a cute little flower plant.

I like these white and gold, the pattern is so old school, yet it doesn't look dated.

Available here.

Tea Towel Time

Lately I've been seeing a lot of nice tea towels. I usually go for just plain white or a plaid country house style, but these printed tea towels from a shop called Bookhou at Home are very pretty.

I've been looking at different types of plants I want to decorate with and found these ficus lyrata or "fiddle leaf" trees. There is the option of grooming it to look like a tree, or more continuous branches with leafs. Its hard to decide with they both look so good!

Here we have the continuous branches.

Art

Found some beautiful prints.

Its a combination of watercolour and sketching, I like it because the shaped are very defined, yet at the same time it is still light and airy.

The Only Time Twigs in your Hair looks Good!

I first saw these in Real Simple Magazine, they were shown as a good small

gift for christmas. Extremely cute is a good way to describe these twig booby pins.

I think loose waves is the way to wear these bad boys.

Family Time

Went to visit my husbands grandparents.

Very nice day, church, a large Ukrainian lunch and time outside looking at their garden and riding bicycles.

End of the day picture. My husband and I and the left, then mother-in-law, grandparents, sister-in-law and father-in-law. We make a nice bunch don't you think?

Vintage Box

If your looking to organize, there are so many cute bins and baskets you can buy, but I like to take it to the next level! Buy randomn vintage pieces and mix it up. I saw this vintage chesse box, and it would be perfect for storage! There is so much character too!
