Last Friday, we were at the Brown Bag Vintage and Crafts Market. It was the loveliest bazaar I've ever been to, with the nicest things for sale. I think one of the reasons I loved it so was because most of the people manning the booths had made everything themselves. I wanted to buy so many things! Please, support handmade, if you can.
Also, I had the chance to join the Keds painting workshop! Of course, when confronted with the actual shoe, I didn't know what to paint, and had a mild panic attack, since I always plan things like these so thoroughly beforehand. They ended up being Rob Ryan inspired. What can I say? I love that man. 

Of course, being the indecisive little girl that I am, I may decide to paint over these. All that white is just too tempting.

Thanks so much to Katrina of Keds and to the Brown Bag Market for giving me the shoes! I've always wanted a pair. Now I'm going to go and skip around in them to break them in. Adieu!

wishlisting

I picked out my three favorite items from Unestablish, an online retail shop with some really cool stuff.

1. Kling Skirt Polaroid 

2. Sundays Springtail Front Tee 

3. Kling Dress Goddar

The scalloped skirt is so pretty! I love that the waistband is scalloped too.

I'm aware the shirt is a guy's shirt, but I like it. And it's a cool DIY idea, no?
And the dress. Red and blue, I heart you.

I love making these lists. I could wishlist from now until Christmas day, I'm sure.

I'm sorry for being away so long. I'm hoping I can start posting regularly again! The holidays are hectic, but also inspiring. 

we're never looking back

Currently:

Papercutting.

Painting cake toppers in the middle of the night for ipromptu chocolate cakes for five-year-olds who like robots.

Listening to this song, and putting up a pizza dip recipe on the PT blog.

Sporadic blog posting? I'm a pro. I should win an award.

Here's one of the things I've made while I was away. I'm trying to put together some penpal packages for pretty people. Ah, alliteration.

Of course, I had to test it out myself, it was so cute.
This is my accidental light brown dye job that I'm trying to grow out. But ombre's in anyway, right? 

...right?

i'm just a basket case without you

My mom made some cookie samples today. They're just so perfect, I almost can't bear to eat them.
See what I did there? I know, I'm brilliant. 

I'm in love with this sparkly nail polish my friend Yela let me paint my nails with. I am despondent because it isn't available here. It's by OPI, I think. Sigh.

Gail gave me some cans of pink hairspray, and it's helping me get over my green hair withdrawal.

It smells funny, though.

wishlist wednesday

It's been a while since I made one of these. I've been trying to decide on a pair of boots because I simply cannot go on living without them.

All of these are from this online shop called Asian Vogue and they have too many things for my indecisive self. If it all gets too much, I will just put the numbers into a hat.

Although I am leaning very much towards No. 2.

Last week we went over to Andrea's house and had a craft day. We made bracelets for everyone and then I went a bit crazy with her camera and couldn't let it go. Hee.

Here's Ina:

Andrea had a dip pen! With a feather on it! And emerald-green ink!

It was a gray day, which made it cozier inside. 

Her mom made us hot chocolate. I know. You're jealous.

Ta-da!

I didn't get a good photo of Andrea, so I will just point you to her fab blog where she posts her art and all manner of pretty things. Go go go!
