Rain All Day!

I am suffering from the non~motivational blues. The weather is perfect for a day of nothingness. Okay, maybe more like a day of blog diving, book devouring, magazine browsing all with a bowl of sweet and salty munchies to keep me content.

Parada Creations has offered up just the perfect collection of prints to lift any mood on this rainy day. Susana also has a blog to keep up with her inspirations and new creations.

On this cold Spring day this Cow Cowl collage brings me warmth and giggles.

Atlanta Trip

Sweet little French girl mannequin. She reminds me of my Mommy.
I desperately want her. 

I'm a sucker for burlap. 

More burlap and stamped! Double awesome!

Hello colors.  I need these circle cups for a festive Fourth of July gathering.  

Bloody Mary with salted rim and cute boy across the table? If you insist. 

After antiquing I needed to refuel with mussels and freshly baked olive oil drizzled bread. 

The W Hotel

We visited with friends and family, ate delish foods, browsed through beautiful boutiques, had many laughs and were beyond delighted to be able to leave town knowing our fur~babies were being cared for by Miss Emily.

Spring Baking

It has been a VERY long time since this domestic diva has baked up some yummies. This ribbon cake stand could be just the motivation to get me fired up to turn out some delicious desserts. Change out the ribbon to match my mood and dessert? Yes, please!

Sorry I'm Late

What a week. Another St. Patty's Day has come and gone and I'm feeling as if I'm running late on many projects. I was hoping to post pictures of the madness that occurs downtown but unfortunately my camera battery died. So no pictures but rest assured, Savannah was a sea of green shirts and overflowing Guiness. I have also had an ignored bag of the most delicious fabrics and fake furs sitting in my craft room for a doll making extravaganza and I missed out on my picnic this week due to well....being tired. I haven't had the motivation or much time to post; hence the next title being 'Sorry I'm late'.

I am slightly obsessed with stop motion films. You will see them here at Scout's Bazaar fairly often. The playfulness, sweetness, and assumed simplicity combined are beyond enticing and magical to me. This short film comes from Thomas Mankovsky via Vimeo. Please watch and enjoy, and if time so exists for you also enjoy his award winning short film entitled Little Big Love.

I'm hoping for more creativity to seep into my life this coming week. Happy Sunday!

Luck of the Irish

The week of St. Patrick's Day is upon us. The tourists are setting out on road trips and boarding planes to enter our little Irish filled, green bannered, Guiness flowing town for parades and parties. The young and old will gather in squares for sun soaked, fun filled days.

Katherine has created a Luck of the Irish banner for your last minute decoration needs. Go to her shop NOW and buy it!

ATL Bound

We are setting out first thing Saturday morning to Atlanta to scour Scott's Antique Mall! I'm crazy excited because I have heard the most rave reviews of this market for years. It comes to Atlanta once a month and takes ample amount of time to hit the hot spots. Just point me to the French Shabby Chic section and I will be one happy girl.

Hot items to be found (all vintage): costume jewelry, buttons, trims, ribbons, party decorations, green mason jars...clothing....will there be clothing? My heart is a flutter with all of the excitement to be had.

I hope that all of my little readers find the time to enjoy themselves over this weekend and please visit Ashley Goldberg to view more of her adorable prints. Her work is pure Portlandesque and it kills me with cuteness.
