YELLOW OWL TO DO LIST notepad by boygirlparty $8.

I'd love to have some of these cheerful notepads from boygirlparty instead of my usual list on the back of a receipt, envelope, scrap o' something that I always accidentally throw away.

Flutter

image from Flutter

Thanks to Holly at Decor8, I spent waaay to much time this morning visiting the new online version of the Portland, Oregon shop, Flutter. It seems to be everything a gal could desire in a shop- vintage, vintage-inspired, color, birds, housewares, books, de-constructed and girly original clothing, and bath products! The website is pure delight and actually offers an amazing selection to purchase online. I adore the category headings(image above: books) Every nook and cranny of the site has been artfully considered. The shop even includes a studio for Julia Barbee of Frocky Jack Morgan-see website here- positively the stuff of dreams! It seems Portland is the place to be for all things bright and beautiful these days...I must get there....soon!!

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

I'm a little late finding this book- but I read it over the weekend and have really taken it to heart. If you haven't already, I hope you'll read it too. Visit their site here to read updates about the family and print the book's recipes.

Back in the Day Bakery!

Look at this!! These are racks of the absolute yummiest cupcakes from one of Savannah's gems- Back in the Day Bakery! Aren't they beautiful!? I miss all of their food so very much! The sweet and talented duo, Cheryl and Griff Day are responsible for all this goodness. Visit the bakery here, and read more about these cupcakes on Cheryl's great blog, Buttercream & Roses.

Kinchi Kids Love

My husband would be relieved that I can't fit into these darling girl skirts from Kinchi-or I'd be stepping out all over town in these sweet kitty skirts! The designer is from the Netherlands and has a great eye for putting vintage patterns together in fresh ways! I love her tiny model(daughter?)-such rosy cheeks! I love her tag line too: "The Stuff to Buy when You're a Mum from the Seventies" She has much more available in her etsy shop including dresses, apron tops, and accessories. Uh-oh- I see now she has a new shop for grown-ups!! See: Kinchi Mama
