I am pinwheel happy!

Yep, completely pinwheel happy!  They make me smile.

And if they whirl, well, even better.

I've ordered paper pinwheels for the upcoming wedding, one for each of the 9 children that will be there, and I was searching ways to display them when I came across all the delightful images from above.  I hope that they will be a hit with the kids!  Still am not sure how to have them displayed up until the children run up to take one...maybe just in a simple, galvanized bucket as a centerpiece at the kids table?  Or perhaps not unlike image 4, dividing them up into groups of two or three and placing them on the outdoor beverage table, adding a bit of whimsy?  Thoughts?

By the way, it is like Christmas in August right now for me!  All of the packages from Etsy have been trickling in over the past couple of weeks, and it has been great fun opening them up and seeing all the wedding lovelies.  Yippee!

Friday finds from Etsy

don't you adore the vintage charm of these tiny tin teacups?

this pedestal tray would look lovely on the counter...

a porcelain berry basket! too cute!

pretty cotton 'postcard' purse - perfect for make-up when travelling

this dress is so dramatic and gorgeous! and it has a draped back!

Well, happy Friday to you!  Are you looking forward to the weekend?

You know what? I wish that here in North America we called cupcakes 'fairy cakes' like they do in the UK..I think that I might just have to start because its just too darling not to!

And that's what I would place on top of that sweet vintage stand from above...fairy cakes!

a tuesday that feels like a monday

Hi {lovely} people!

Here is a sweet and fun little quote...

Loved all your kind thoughts on the mason jars.  Just goes to show how much love there is for the simple, charming jar!  So it's Tuesday, but feels like a Monday as we just came off of a long weekend.  Wish every

weekend could be a long weekend.  Now how great would that be?  Have a bit of a busy week coming up, but I just did the count and it is 28 days

until we leave for NY.

Hooray for that!

Wishing you a happy week!
