Oh So Beautiful Paper

My husband and I are close to buying our first home.  While he goes into a showing thinking of all the logistical aspects, I go in picturing where I’ll put built-in bookshelves, a nice gallery wall and my party supplies.  I’ve already told him that he doesn’t need to worry about the decorating one bit.  That’s the way it should be, right?

Here are some recent gallery walls I’ve come across and bookmarked for that fateful day we’re handed the keys.

Do you ever look at something lovely and handmade and think that it looks simple enough to make yourself but then you give yourself a reality check and just fork over the cash instead?  Yeah, me too.

I want every single one of the colorful clay beaded necklaces from Etsy shop Not Tuesday.  Cleaning out my Paypal balance right now…

I love the sweet hand illustrated paper line from Kathryn Whyte. Tell me, if someone handed you a one of those get together cards inviting you to brunch would you even hesitate to say yes?  Even if it was your arch nemesis?  I think not.

You can’t really go wrong with pretty typography, watercolors and stripes.  At least when you’re Sasha Prood you can’t.  I’m pretty sure if I attempted it it would look more like my signature on one of those digital credit card devices.
