Happy Saturday: (some fun links for you)

Hallelujah, my friendly friends! It is, at long last, The Weekend! It's Saturday which, in my reality, translates to "the day that is half spent in bed, on the computer, and half spent drinking tea in thrift stores."

And, look at all the exciting delights I have discovered in the www...
First up, Unhappy Hipsters!A slightly sardonic look at those inexpressive photos from Dwell. Eye candy, for the interior connoisseur? Yes. Decidedly off-center context? Totally. The perfect marriage between right and wrong.

Next! A posting of the Best of The Best at the Toronto IDS10 at PoppyTalk. Who wouldn't want this King Size pinecone to reside in their living room?

I look forward to seeing it again, first on Dwell, then on Unhappy Hipsters. Ahhh, isn't that what the WWW is about?

And now, for something completely different, check out Kate Bingaman-Burt's Obsessive Consumption blog. With daily, hand-drawn posts of her latest purchases, Obsessive Consumption gives something sweet to the idea of consumption.

Happy Saturday.

Pinch me and say that it's true!

If you thought I was excited about the fashion show, you have no IDEA how excited I am about posting this...
I have found a recipe for Samoas!
Yes, Girl Scouts everywhere, stay away from my door! I will make my own, and keep my four dollars!
Millions of thanks to Designs by Vanessa for posting a link to the recipes. I can't wait to give these a try.

Fun flies

Typically, flies are less than cool. However, I think I'm willing to overlook their nastiness to see the awesomeness in these tiny works of art...

Fine Little Day just posted these fantastically playful pieces by Magnus Muhr.

After looking at these little portrayals of daily fly life, does it make your heart hurt a little for all those that you shamelessly swatted in the past?
Yeah, didn't think so.

Get inspired... Vintage romance

I discovered Ruffles and Stuff today, a great blog showcasing her DIY discoveries. From clothing for herself and her child to jewelry on Etsy, she has some wonderfully inspiring pieces.
Seeing pieces like this reminds me to experiment with other mediums. Does anyone know if you can cast lace, or would that be too thin?

Make it! - Bib necklace out of vintage pins

Check out this great tutorial by Bromeliad. The ever-so-popular bib necklace is demystified and perfectly attainable with her simple step-by-step. Go here and learn how to make it!

Now that's a necklace!

Check out the gorgeous jewelry by Maslodesign for sale at Need Supply. The jewelry is made mainly out of vintage jewelry.

Someone, please remind me to save up so I can buy some of these!
