Not too Shabby

She almost looks like a really cool homeless person. The image, from Free People's September catalog, is inspiring the shabby chic in me. The muted colors I would wear with my boyfriend jeans this Fall:

The Knit Kid Sweater

Zara Sweater

JCrew Swiss dot sweater

Yigal Azrouel cardigan from Forward

Food for Thought

For my sweet tooth. Strawberry swirl cupcake pincushion by Made in Lowell. iPhone ice cream sandwich cover at Amazon. Doughnuts dishtowel from Crate&Barrel.

I See Russia

Sometimes I'll sit on my husband's lap while Jackson sits on mine and we'll feel like a set of Russian nesting dolls.
I adore the humor in artist Emma Gardner's Matryoshka Mug Shot Print and the sweetness of these Matryoshka post-its and cards from JolinTsai. I'd like breakfast in bed on these hand-crafted trays. And who better than Beaky's little lady to keep your coins safe. She looks like she can be trusted...most of the time.

I heart...

A.P.C. heart cardigan, Felix Rey vintage heart print umbrella, Golden Goose tee, Tilo heart scarf and Jennifer Meyer rose gold ring. 

Silverware

I found JJEvensenArt to make my entryway quirky and ecofriendly - they reuse vintage spoons and forks to create hooks. My coats and hats love to hang there.

Rainbow Brights

Highlighter coaster set from Dandyrions

Spectra tumblers from Burke Decor

Cake and Tart servers from Leif 

Striped Candles from Leif

Neon Shot glasses from Burke Decor

Happy Monday! Inspiration to add a little color to my life...though I think my shot drinking days are over.

Tooth Fairy

Oeuf pillow from Noeuf

When I was a kid, I'd have to walk 5 miles in the snow to school and put my fallen teeth under a regular pillow. Not a fancy pillow like this one with a little face and a little pouch. I used to get quarters for every tooth. Now I hear some kids are getting 20s.
I think the tooth fairy is a cute custom. I know technically, it's lying to our children, but it adds some fun to a painful process. From my memory, losing baby teeth was scary...especially when they didn't fall out right away and they'd be teetering by a thread. I'll likely keep the tradition of exchanging teeth for money. If he asks where the money comes from, maybe I won't tell him it was the stupid tooth fairy...maybe I'll tell him to use his imagination.
BTW, I think Jackson is teething at 4 months. He keeps rubbing his checks uncontrollably when he's nursing.
