{7 pretty things on Sunday}

Filed Under: 7 pretty things

YEOW! The celebration starts tomorrow! All 5 days of giveaways will only be open the same day the giveaway is posted {1 day} so make sure you enter ASAP if you’re interested in something. I’ll announce the winner on the following day’s blog post. Yay! See you Monday morning!!! ~

♥

Another post on inspiration! They are always so fun to share :] This week’s topic is “pretty things I don’t have but wish I did have” — hah! Kinda in a dreamy, wouldn’t this be so fun! way. Some are things for inside the house, others are more playful/relaxing, but my favorite is photo #6. Go ahead and look, I’ll wait.

See what I meant? An endless supply of baked goods in the house… {What? I can dream, right?}. Yummers. OK, here’s my list…

{photo credits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

So yesterday I went to the Mall of America to see the one and only Kelly Cutrone speak for a bit before her book signing. It was amazing to see/meet her in person and chat with her for a few minutes. Eeeek — more on this later! :]

Share with us: what is a pretty “thing” you dream about?

    These are lovely inspiration pics! A pretty thing I dream about constantly, espec. while working on my dad’s king sized quilt for father’s day, is a long arm quilting machine! *sigh* I will be dreaming about that one til the day I die haha.

    Becoming a better photographer so I can hang pretty pictures on my walls. HA!
    Your inspiration pictures are dreamy, by the way.

    Oh, and I’d love to enter your giveaways this week, but since I’ve already won something recently would you prefer I not enter? I’ll understand honestly.

    One pretty thing I would like to have is a hand stamped necklace with my kids names on them. I love the one from The Vintage Pearl, Chunky Love. Hope to be able to get one one of these days.
    Blessings, Lori

    I would like my new blog designed & all laid out, ready to launch. Maybe a little sunshine as well, if it’s not too much to ask :)

    That first shot reminds me of the wall paper that used to be in my parent’s bathroom! I love it!

    And I WANT that swinging bed/best-nap-spot-ever thing in that last shot! Looks SO cozy and dreamy! :-D

    Wonderful pictures! They looked like a picture-story to me, like how you would spend a Sunday in spring.

    Here are just a couple of pretty things I dream about… I’d love to have an old Royal typewriter in pink or turquoise, I’m not sure if I would use it but I’d definitely love to look at it just to get inspired :) I also find myself dreaming about a playful camera bag and strap although I haven’t yet managed to buy that dreamcamera :D:D
