like candy

After a trip to Williams Sonoma last friday, where I went

crazy purchasing WS's new stackable cake decorations,

I am totally into cake making. I made a cake on Friday,

and another on Sunday.

A seriously brilliant idea : making your

own personalized cake decorating tower.

Mine consists of Halloween pearls(I love Halloween),

hot pink sanding sugar, GOLDEN cake duster,

and genuine sugar pearls.

**sadly, these are not available online!

My beautifully sandwiched chocolate cake.

So many delicious things in one picture...

Home grown tomatoes, a giant glass cloche,

a dollop of crema on a nice cup

of Nespresso, 2 cuddly bunnies, a fantastic

vintage lurex stripe dress, and a stack of

apparel mags. ahhhh.

Anyway.. enough ramblings. Onto the main event..

the reason behind the 'like candy' title,

the most incredible random cake kitsch from

my new favorite HEYYOYO store on etsy.

These images of small vibrant plastic goodness

make me insanely happy.

CUPIE!

Seriously!

It is worth mentioning that these amazing backdrops are

all paper from the Martha Stewart collection. The best.

get yours here.

Lie to me and tell me how much you love plastic miniatures!

I'll take all of it.

Um, just when I was eying our breakfast nook this morning,

shaking my head over what seems like a BIG job, I saw these on etsy.

We all know I love crochet. Crochet on the seat, on the wall,

cozying my drinks.

These nook beautifiers are all from the EmmaLamb shop.

Considering I do a 'crochet' search on etsy at least once

a month, I find EmmaLamb very mysterious.

That is part of the attraction. I am really starting to buy into the

crochet corner. I was going to base the kitchen with the vintage

yellow-y palette of the top left pillow in this first stack image, as well.

These cushions give me hope!

hello beautiful!

I have been on the Tord Boontje studio site for the last

hour and it is such an ornate, delicate dream.

I have seen the Boontje cute paper curtains at a few home

stores and they are lovely.. like giant hand cut paper

doilies. But, the studio site is full of other amazing products

and intricately cut mediums. Very inspiring.

The site needs some dreamy music to match the

beautiful blowing wind on the home page.

Be amazed..

Wool felt ground cover!(to, you know, run around in with

your tiered twirly skirt on)

I really need some of this in my life.

Buy yours at the MoMA store.

wow

How amazing is this artwork by Sanna Annukka?

Many prints are available to buy in her new online shop..

And, just when I am thinking how cool it would be to make 

an all over print and wear it, she apparently just finished two

fabric collaborations with Medicom(middle) and Marimekko(bottom)

Click on the Marimekko link to see the rest of the print

colorways.Excitement!
