Moving Along

Just dropping in to leave a quick note.

As I'm sure anyone has noticed who has visited this blog in a while, I haven't posted on it.

Truth is, I've been putting off writing this post for a while because it makes me a little sad. I really enjoyed writing about all of the things that I like and things I thought you would like too but I'm going to be focusing my attention on my other blog, Keep Smiling, for the forseeable future. Please check it out and stay in touch! Thanks for reading

Candy Lights

It's no secret to people who know me that I love lights. I mean LOVE them. I go just a teensy bit overboard during the holidays but hey, it's once a year, give me a break! So natch, when I saw this candy lights DIY by Brittany from The House That Lars Built (Seriously, is there anything this girl can't do?) I just about died and went straight to twinkly light heaven. The best part? I think they actually look even better when they're not lit which is a rarity for Christmas lights.

The Thought

Don't have enough moo-la to buy your friend a custom fixed gear bike but want to show them that you at least thought about it?

From Partners & Spade, this little box will be mailed to your friend for 99 cents. Complete with packaging and a polaroid of "any overpriced item" in their store. Including that bike...

This $1800 model party boat 

Or these $45 wooden "table stabilizers"

Thoughts?

Is it really the thought that counts?

Would you be pleased as punch to get a polaroid in a box?



Peter Pan

I believe I have lamented over my love of the Peter Pan collar on here before. So cute, so sweet so...ironically Wendy. But whatevs. I keep seeing little add-on collars here and there that just kind of sit on top of your shirt and thinking to myself, "Dang, that's cute but wouldn't it get moved around and what if your shirt's neck is just a little too big for it?" So, as cute as they were I never put any of them on here until now. Kind of. See, this isn't just an add-on Peter Pan collar, this is an add-on Peter Pan dickie!

 They are sooo cute and I think they would work so well with sweaters this winter! In fact, I think you should all buy two or three and then we'll just all walk around being cute for the next two or three months. Whadaya' say?
