The Easter Bunny delivered my gift a day before he visited the masses.
I was SO excited when my box from Nice Package came. (I still giggle at the name...sorry, I'm 12) Unfortunately they are going out of business but I was absolutely giddy when they announced that their whole shop was 50% off. I've been drooling over that store for a while but could never bring myself to spend the money.
Tons of goodies in that box...even the photo makes me smile : )
One of the owners of Nice Package (tee hee ; ) runs Creature Comforts, one of my favorite blogs evah! Always lots of eye candy and fun, beautiful ideas.
I am obsessing about plates lately. I have collected some from thrift stores, dollar stores, discount stores, clearance racks, etc. Here is part of my collection. (please ignore the glitter all over the table...oops!)
I say *part* only because I popped into Tuesday Morning...on... well...Tuesday morning, and was knocked over by their selection of random, fun, bold and bright clearance plates. I had to buy more. Had. To. It's my MIL's fault. (She told me to go look at their drapes...yep, THAT curtain mess is STILL going on.)
I bought 11 more...buuuuut they are awesome so that makes it ok.
WHY am I buying so many plates?
Because this photo made me all tingly inside!
I LOVE IT!
I want to do something like this in my kitchen and I have the perfect wall for it.
HERE is where you can find this photo and
HERE is the yummy photostream it is in. (It will give you warm fuzzies I promise!)
It is the home of artist Lisa Congdon and WOW her place is incredible*!* Holy mother of pearl...how do you NOT smile looking through those photos? She made her home into such a fabulous, bright, interesting place! Inspiration is a wonderful thing isn't it? Happy happy stuff : )
Ha! Now I have to buy plate holders hu? Cripe.
