Happy 4th of July

I know, I know, it's a bit early for the 4th of July but I'm taking off a few days early for an extra long weekend. I just found these and think I need to have a party to try them out. If you're more together than I am and try these ideas sooner than later, let me know how they turn out. Have a Happy 4th of July!

Wouldn't This Be Lovely?

Sorry for the non-post today. But this caught my eye and now I'm on the hunt for lanterns for my backyard!

India Rose

Take a look at this lovely duvet. Doesn't it just say summer, sleeping in, and napping? The bonus part is that it's made in a Fair Trade Factory in Indonesia.

PomLove

I saw these over at simplesong and they just made me smile. I would love to get a bunch of these in a vase, clip a small one to my denim jacket, or attach one to a present. The possibilities are endless. I hope they make you smile.

Mirrors, Mirrors, On The Wall

Check out this simple, elegant, and in-expensive idea for a headboard. It's made from four-packs of miniature Sorli mirror tiles from Ikea ($4.99). It's genius!

Target? Yes, Target!

Target just keeps getting better and better. Take a look at this accent chair and headboard. This is just one pattern that comes in variety of color that can match any decor color scheme. And the price isn't too shabby either!

Every Mom's Mantra

Have you ever had one of those days? Oh, wait, you just did have one of those days AND you have one of those days at least once, twice, three times a week. Been there and am there! So I think every mom should have one of these hanging in plain site. Or better yet, this one...

How Cute Are These?

These would brighten up any kitchen, nightstand, mantle. The only question is, which color?

World Market

How great are these towels from World Market? I love the espresso color and the scroll design. These will definately provide an instant facelift to any bathroom.
