Something Fun for All Seasons!

I have to admit I almost did not share this Etsy find with you all because I wanted to keep it as a secret for fun gifties :-) but, I was just too excited not to share!!!

They have clutches, bags and wristlets in all shades of fun colors and styles! Oh, the options! They have formal, informal and even more fabrics and ribbons to create a custom look!



I actually pulled these images off their blog that show some of their custom work for weddings and/or special projects for customers.

They do have other styles of bags as well - it just happens the pics I pulled are all of their Alexis bag.

Which one is your fav?

Ikea Upgrade

Since I've been working on 1 project a week or at least on the weekend, why would this one be any different? :-)
So this past weekend, I took this bunch of boxes and .......

Built/Assembled the majority of 2 glass fronted bookcases for my study.

Then I filled the majority of them up with books and assorted items. The large black box on the left is my speaker/radio; I took the two small lamps I had in storage and tucked them on top for more light (especially since I hate the big ugly overhead) and I also put up some magazine storage boxes that are black and silver.

I hung up some photographs and our college undergrad diplomas on either side of the window AND mostly cleaned off my desk :wink: but there is still a LOT of cleaning up to do. Thinking of the closet makes me shudder!

I need to find something organizational for above my desk. The wall is too blank and frankly, a bit boring. So yes, another weekend project, but like the stairhall it will take me more than just 2 days to get it done. Sigh. Ah well, such is life!

What did you do this weekend?

Cool Find!

Ok. For those that know me, you know and understand that fabric has had a pretty large role in my life since I was very young. So how could I not get excited when I found a website where you can design your own graphic fabric?!

Well, I didn't find it really, I found it through the YHL blog, but still. HOW COOL IS THIS?! (Believe me, I am aware how dorky I am) So cool. So very cool. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet, but I just had to share my excitement!

My other happy news is that the storage units I ordered for my study are coming today. Yippeeee! This means I can finally organise the space (Monkish = Me) and really start using it to its full advantage.

I hope your rainy week is filled with simple joys too!
