I love these gilded wood blocks from Cabin 7. A little pricey ($8 each), but they’d make for a lovely, sophisticated touch in a wee one’s room. Maybe this is something one could find the raw materials for at a flea market or garage sale and then attempt to DIY?

So apparently I have this thing for alligator paper products. I have no idea why. It’s not like I really love alligators or anything. It all started with this pad from Boatman Geller:

For a list lover like me, it doesn’t get much better. Thick but not too thick paper, the right size, cute graphics. I highly recommend. Again, no idea why I initially picked the alligator design, but I did and have stuck with it ever since, reordering the exact same pad several times over the last few years.

Then, when Liz was having her sample sale, I picked up these oversized alligator note cards. Sadly, I won’t be able to snag any more of these, as Linda & Harriett is going in a new direction. Sniff sniff!

Who knew gators could be so cute?

Whoops! I skipped out last month, but I’m back again with an update on my 101 in 1001 progress. As of right now, I have completed 48 goals and have 20 in progress. This month I am planning to…

1. Read one more for no. 5.
2. Make something from this book for no. 38.
3. Finish no. 53.
4. Do no. 57.
5. Do no. 60.

You can read more about any of these goals right here! Thanks for following along!

P.S. Happy June!
