I love magazines. Can’t get enough of them. I really love finding new things inside them – things I hadn’t thought of before, or pretty things I haven’t seen before. This is why I love to find magazines from other countries. Even though our world is getting smaller every day, it’s so intriguing to see the different aesthetics and trends in different countries. I wish more of these magazines were readily available here in Austin.
The image above is from Cotton Time, a Japanese crafts magazine. I love the Japanese craft books I’ve been seeing over the past year or so at the bookstore, so this seems like it would be a great magazine to spend some time with. I first heard about Cotton Time on So Cute It Hurts, a blog by the fabulous Jacqueline you’ve probably noticed giving me some comment love on a regular basis. She is always working on adorable crafts and has a great Etsy shop that you should visit and patronize! Thanks so much for introducing me to Cotton Time, Jacqueline! I may break down and buy a copy from Ebay or Etsy, which seems to be the only way to get it around here.

How incredible is this paper flower? It was made by TANGLeAndFoLd out of a children’s book. Just looking at all that gorgeous paper makes me want to dive in and create this! I know mine would never be as fabulous, so instead I’ll just *heart* this on Etsy and hope that someone notices that around, oh, I don’t know, December-ish? Maybe it could find its way into my stocking on Christmas morning??

I’m a little late today, guys. I completely overslept so I couldn’t get anything up this morning before work. Now that I have a few minutes to sit down at the computer (for fun) I found this beautiful bouquet to share with you. It’s featured today on Apartment Therapy, along with four other “Messy Chic Bouquets.” I love wandering around Apartment Therapy, finding decorating ideas and inspiration. In fact, I think I’m off to do some of that right now!

It’s a new week folks, are you ready for it? Well, grab some caffeine and dive in! Thought I’d share a photo of these gladiolas (or gladiolus) that I got on sale at the grocery store for a total of $10! Can you believe it? I just couldn’t pass up that much gorgeousness for that little money! They’ve made it a good full week, but are starting on the downward spiral, I’m afraid. But still beautiful. (however, my tablecloth looks ridiculously wrinkly!) Have a great Monday guys!

I love these earrings! The colors are great, they’re so fun and whimsical, and they’re recycled vintage tin – what’s not to love?! These are made by shixie and sold on Etsy! Check out her other shop as well, shix.
That’s all for this week guys! Have a great weekend everyone!
