Board No. 86: Beyond the sky blue sea

8 March 2011


(Click to enlarge!)

Get it? Beyond the sky blue sea, not the deep blue sea. I love this board’s combination of gorgeous sky blue, shingle, kraft paper, and white cream. I picture this wedding taking place on a dock beside a marsh or lake, with simple white flowers and a gorgeous, ruffly gown.

Anthro headbands

7 March 2011

My friend Nancy wore an adorable Anthro headband to our dinner date on Saturday, which of course merited a trip to their website this morning. Hers was a multicolored braid of bright pastels on one side that reversed to pink embroidery and tiny seed pearls on the other — LOVE. Anthro doesn’t seem to have anything quite so cute in stock at the moment, but I did like the two above (here and here).

My whole heart

2 March 2011

Came across this nifty little piece of art in my searches the other day. I’ve been looking for something to go over my bed, and this might be just the thing! The only downside? It’s priced at $300 at Marmalade, which is a bit out of my budget (expensive or not, they have a few other neat options, too!).

Happily, I think this might be a doable DIY — I’d just need a thick, smooth piece of wood (this one is 36 inches by 36 inches), some cream paint, some black paint, and a stencil set. I’ll let you know if I make an attempt!
