A garden wedding

So I was invited to a lovely garden wedding last weekend.  It was the wedding of my dear friend’s sister.  The venue was decorated with lots of yellow, white and green shades.  It was pretty shabby chic and I spotted many cute planters like the one shown in the photo below.   There was a live band at the wedding with the musicians on classic banjo, drums and more.  After the wedding ceremony, the guests danced the night away.  It was a beautiful wedding.

Paper Straws For Parties

I have been seeing these paper straws everywhere nowadays.  They seem to be the rage right now.   I guess it all started with Pinteres and everyone is looking for these paper straws for their parties.  There are so many things you can do with them besides drinking.  I have seen them on cakes for hanging buntings.  These colourful paper straws are sure to add some retro charm to the party. Get a few of them in different designs for your special occasion.

 

Sleepy Lamp

Hey peeps. I thought you may want to take a look at this Sleepy lamp by Boaz Saragossi. This unique Sleepy lamp falls asleep on its own. Sleepy gradually lowers its head until it reaches the base, presses the button and shuts down the lights. It is great for those who love to spend an hour or so to read before bedtime. That way, you can fall asleep without worrying about forgetting to switch off the bedside lamp. Pretty cool ain’t it?  Check out this link for more cool ready made design items.

Queuger

While the spouse was busy looking for racks and stands for the garage,  I was surfing the internet for some quirky birthday gift for my girlfriend.   That is when I stumbled upon Queuger at IPPINKA.   I am still having a hard time trying to pronounce this word.  Queuger is a flexible elastomer wire with aluminum core.    You can bend or twist it for a wide range of applications.  So whether you want it to secure things, hold a book open or carry your groceries, just get the Queuger.  The possibilities is endless.   It can hold up to 5 kgs.

 

mustache nails

The cute mustache design is everywhere now.  From hangers to t-shirts, you just cannot miss it.  I just came across the cute mustache decal for nails at NailsDecalMarket in Etsy.  They are just too cute.  It comes in a set of 20 and look great on natural, white or light colored nails.  Just in time for me to do something unique for Chinese New Year.

 

 

Cute Stencils On Your Coffee

I always love looking at the cute designs in my cup of latte.  I have always been fascinated with how the barista make them.  Sometimes it is a few swirl designs and at times I get an owl or a heart shape.  If you are like to add some fun into your own latte or mocha, well you may want to check out Cosmic Emotions at http://www.etsy.com/listing/88197117 and get a stencil.  Have fun sprinkling cinnamon on top of your coffee.

A Girls’ Night Out

This weekend I have been invited to a birthday bash of one of my close friends. She will be turning 40 and we plan to have a nice Italian dinner downtown with a few other friends. Right after dinner, we will be hitting the karaoke for some singing and maybe dancing too. I know it is going to be a fun and crazy night. We all love to sing, especially songs in the Eighties, when we were teens. Nothing beats singing with a wonderful vocopro uhf-5805 microphone and dance the night away with your buddies.  I cannot wait to wear my lace print sheer shift dress from Dorothy Perkins.

Filigree Headboard

Saw this cute Filigree Headboard at Urban Outfitters today.  Made of heavy-duty sculpted metal, this headboard adds a vintage charm to the room.  So if you are thinking of adding a bit of decor to your bedroom, why not get this Filigree Headboard?  It is very easy to hang on the wall.    Now I am trying to decide if I should get it for the single bed in my guest room.

 

MacKenzie Childs Flower Market Wine Cooler

I just found something that is great for wine lovers out there. If you like hosting parties at home, you may also like this lovely Flower Market Wine Cooler from Neiman Marcus. Made from enamel steel and features an antique brass handle, this wine cooler will definitely be the topic of conversation at the dinner table.   It make a very nice housewarming gift too.

 

Packing Tape With A Twist

While the spouse was busy checking out the Delafield petroleum drop hose specification, I was doing some online shopping for my craft.   I stumbled upon this  http://www.mmiinn.com, an online store which offers a wide range of printed adhesive tapes which gives the illusion that your boxes are sealed with leather straps, bolts and hinges.    I find this pretty neat and I think I am going to get some.  You all know how much I love tapes eh?
