it’s a pretty simple equation, isn’t it? colleen sent me a link to plastique’s etsy shop, which is filled with these fabulous creations. colleen says that she’s digging the helvetica nexklance. personally, i am a sucker for the apple-z necklace above, since i would very much like that option in real life.
In just over a week I’ll be getting married. One of many things I’ve enjoyed making in preparation for the celebration is a set of bean bag toss boards and these whimsical, monster adorned, bean bags.

so i mentioned to zara that i was in the market for a bicycle helmet and she sent me to the wonderful bobbin bicycles. oh, how i wish i could afford one of their lovely vintage riding hats. because what could be more wonderful than feathers and flowers on a bicycle helmet??? really. i dare you to find something more delightful. observe:
those are some seriously stylish helmets. and their bikes are beautiful too. ** sigh **
