I love anything vintage. Really, I do. Just ask my husband. Or come to my house. It’s everywhere.
I found this precious website called The Baby Gardner that specializes in vintage of all sorts. And these hats in particular had me at hello.
And while I’m on the topic, check out these cuties from Oeuf. (Bat boy on left, Bat girl on right.)

I am a self-proclaimed pack rat. One could even say that I should have started this blogging thing ages ago if only to record my tastes du jour.
When I saw this piece by Simon Evans called Everything I Have, I got it. I totally understand why someone would want to do this. This is not to say that I do, or that I even could (lord knows this would take volumes), but wouldn’t it be impressive to see a snapshot of your possessions on one sheet of paper?
After all, you can’t take it with you.

Definitely a “why didn’t I think of that” moment!

I love getting flowers. Any kind, really; I can even relish in a cheap grocery store bouquet. (The trick is to take it apart and make separate little bunches—just ditch the baby’s breath.)
I’m always trying to invent a new way to make paper flowers. Here are some lovely examples…
From Maya*Made (one of my fave blogs)…she used shredder scissors.
I love these quilled flowers from Garden Party.
Flowers made from sewing patterns found at Polka Dot Rabbit. For real!
And lastly, from one of my favorite magazines, Parents (wink, wink), here are flowers made from catalogs and magazines. Blair Stocker from Wise Craft is the genius crafter behind these.
What’s better than a flower that doesn’t wilt?

Everyone is doing a part to help the devastating situation in Haiti, even the craft community. Visit the Craft Hope store on Etsy to purchase lovely handmade items. All proceeds will benefit Doctors Without Borders in Haiti.
As of January 20, 2010, they have sold over 1,000 items and raised over $20,000. Amazing.
