Craving…
Mojitea from Argo Tea.
Carmel and cheese popcorn from Garrett’s.
Just two of the zillion reasons I miss Chicago.

Farmers Market Week 6
Farmers market week 6: corn, peaches, peppers, dill pickles, cucumber, yellow watermelon, zucchini pineapple bread. Total spent: $12. Live bluegrass music: Free.
I was out of town weeks 4 and 5, and I was happy to get back to my routine this week. My big splurge was the jar of dill pickles for $5, but they were calling out my name, honest to goodness.

Know who I love?
Amy Sedaris, that’s who.
Know who I love even more? Moms who indulge your frivolous wishes and send surprises from your Amazon wish list, for sure.
This can’t be confirmed, but methinks Mizz Sedaris perused Regretsy for some of her craft ideas.
How can you not love to make fun of crafters, honestly?

Yes We’re Going to a Party Party
Someone in our house turned 40 this week.
No, not me. I’m not a day over 27, remember?
While the birthday boy further solidified his old man status and napped on the couch, his two best girls got to work and threw him a surprise party.
Turns out all you need to decorate for a party in less than an hour is a round paper punch, cardstock, tissue paper, and a printer (or some pretty awesome handwriting/drawing skills, which sadly, I lack). Oh, and I never bake a cake that doesn’t come straight from a box, don’tjudgemethankyouverymuch.
Of course, setting up a face painting station is the piece de resistance of any party.

Handmade Holiday
I know, I know, we’ve all moved on from the holidays – planning for Valentine’s Day and wishing for spring. But before I get too far ahead, I wanted to show a few handmade items that I received for Christmas that I just love.
The above card was made by my lovely friend Kristen who always sends the cutest notes.
These two little carolers are made from clothes pins. They are so adorable I don’t want to pack them away just yet.
Al’s aunt makes her crocheted Barbie clothes every year. This year, however, she outdid herself. That’s layers and layers of crocheted lace there. Pretty fabulous.
And finally, my friend Kim made me these awesome pair of earrings that I’ve worn everyday since opening because I love them so much. Terrible picture, but trust me on their awesomeness.

Little Elf Party: Elf Party Decorations
Part 2: Elf Party Decorations
For the little elf party, I kept the decorations mini-sized and simple. Basically, I just made strands of mini pennants and hung them everywhere.
Because I’m on the mini pennant bandwagon.
And because I can’t resist the adorableness.
Mini pennants on the wall.
Mini pennants on a mini tree.
Mini pennants on the table.
Mini Pennant cupcake toppers.
Mini pennants and mini snowballs hanging from the chandelier.
And lots of little mini trees and mini snowmen scattered about. (Which was the unexpected hit of the party.)
Finally, Al and I made little treasure ball party favors with mini-sized trinkets inside for each girl to take home. (I made a tutorial for these treasure balls HERE @ D.I.Y. Louisville.)
