HOLiDAY GiFT iDEAS / ANKiT

Happy December! I wanted to share some product finds for the holidays but time is just not on my side these days. I'm going to get a least one post in before the end of the year, dammit! I really want to get back to blogging so hopefully 2017 will be my year of getting back to a schedule! Okay, so lets get back to cool products because we still have some time left before Christmas...

The lovely people over at Ankit sent me over a few products and I am in love. I added some photos I took playing around with things and some other links to cool stuff I found on their site. The mermaid sequin pillow is my new favorite thing and the hoarder in me wants to now own all the other colors they have...but seriously, they are so fun! I love all the Christmas lights up in our house reflecting off the sequins. It looks like they might be sold out of the color I have on their site but I added the other colors below.

PRODUCT FiNDS : MODERN DAY SKULL

I thought I would start sharing more of my product finds here on my blog. I'm constantly pinning to Pinterest but don't often share much of it here. I tend to pin in themes, usually unplanned. I'll see a pattern of similar colors, imagery, etc start to form in my Pinterest feed. For years I use to create mood and style boards of trends when I worked for Hallmark. It's something I absolutely love doing but don't usually have the time for. I plan to change that because they are huge sources of inspiration for me and I haven't been feeling the most creative lately. 

First up are some skull related products I've found over the last few days while hunting for Halloween inspiration. Hope you enjoy! All products have a link.

WHAT i WORE : NUCLEAR CiTiZENS

Happy October! I can't believe how fast this year is going. October is my favorite month so I'm going to do my best to get a few Halloween posts up. 

I love hunting for cool products and art so when I found Josh Ln's Nuclear Citizens artwork I kind of fell in love. Like most, I grew up with the Simpsons and they have been a part of my life since 1987 when they appeared on the Tracey Ullman Show. The Simpsons were some of the first characters I would draw on everything. I even painted a giant Bart for an art contest in elementary school but was disqualified because I didn't create the character. I was in 4th grade, I just wanted to draw Bart Simpson! I actually still have the painting I did, I'll see if I can find it.

Okay, so back to this illustration, it's very Treehouse of Horror in feeling which I love so I though it would be perfect for Halloween. I loved the look of the overall printed shirt but hadn't ordered a shirt from Society6 before so I wasn't sure how well it was going to print. Unfortunately my first shirt arrived with some printing errors I just couldn't ignore. You have to be aware when printing these kinds of shirts that there will be some imperfections but there were too many for me to ignore but Society6 will re print and ship you out a new order free of change if you are unhappy! Thankfully my next shirt looked much better and I'm pretty happy with the quality. 

SHIRT AVAILABLE HERE

Josh has other products available with this print so be sure to check them out! Have a wonderful week!

RETRO iDEAS FOR YOUR KiTCHEN

As you know we are currently working on our home and will be renovating more areas as soon as we can. One that we definitely would like to update is our kitchen. Unfortunately it's not an option just yet but as soon as we are able, there will be some changes made. Nothing too drastic but upgrades need to be made. Our appliances are on the list to replace and I'm always on the lookout for unique products. One of my favorites on our wish list is retro inspired refrigerator. One company I love is Big Chill. They have a huge selection of custom color options which is awesome for someone like me that has to match everything! I recently partnered with BigChill to share their very cool products. If you're in the market for appliances or just want to dream up colorful kitchen ideas, go check them out! Also be sure to check out my Pinterest for other retro home ideas.

"The fact that most families spend the greatest part of their day together in the kitchen proves how vital a part it plays in the household. The most well known tenant of every family kitchen, the refrigerator, will always tell a story of its owner’s if we give it enough attention. The time of simple iceboxes has long passed and newer refrigerators have become so diverse in their designs that there is one for everyone’s taste. BigChill.com have been compiling all the different faces of refrigerators in order to recreate a classic refrigerator that could fit in the modern kitchen. Let us show you the different designs that represented breakthroughs in refrigerator design history and you can tell us about the one that you consider."

LONG TiME NO SEE

Wow, where did the year go? I didn't plan on taking such a long break from my blog but I blinked and most of the year had passed. So to get anyone who might read this up to speed, I moved last year across the country and since then have been setting up our home, organizing my collections, and doing home improvements when I have the time. I meant to share photos on here of our progress but it all just became too overwhelming.

Things are starting to finally slow down a bit so I will slowly be adding posts on here but plan to do a full blog makeover soon. Since my favorite holiday, Halloween, is coming up I'm starting to get really motivated to create and decorate. I will be sharing Halloween inspired products and art I find over the next couple of months both here and on Pinterest. I will also be sharing home improvement photos along with how we display our collections. I hope they can inspire in some way. Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Here are a few photos from last year right after we moved in. Halloween was the first holiday I decorated here and I can't wait to do it this year.

xoxo
