Hello July

Happy Canada Day! Unfortunately, it's cold and rainy here today. It's nice to have a day off to get things done at home, but it would have been nice to have some sunshine to head outside for a bit today. I feel bad for everyone wanting to set off fireworks tonight since it's so wet and chilly out there.

It's hard to believe today is July 1st. At the rate that June flew by at, Summer is going to be over sooner than I'd like. Which means I better take every opportunity I get to eat cotton candy, head outside in the sun, and go swimming.

I've completely fallen head over heels for pastel colours recently. Whether it's because they have a vintage Summer appeal or remind me of hanging out at the beach, either way I've been feeling inspired by muted, pretty colours.

What are you looking forward to in July?

Big City Dreaming

Ever since me and Adam decided on NYC being our trip this year, I can't stop thinking about it, planning it, looking things up online... I lose track of time thinking about and planning our trip constantly. It's fun though and I'm beyond excited!

Of course I've thought about what I'll wear and pack. I want to look cute but I also need to pack sensible clothes... lots of layers and shoes I can walk around in all day comfortably. But I'm definitely dreaming of adorable ModCloth dresses, trench coats, and Spring shoes. All things that I won't be packing, well maybe there will be dresses, but that's about it. Either way, I can dream about the perfect Big City wardrobe...

I'm just in love with all the cat prints at ModCloth right now. And the vintage popsicle dress needs to be mine!

DIY: Vintage Flower Beads

A while back I received some amazing vintage flower beads from No Snow Supplies. I knew that I wanted to make some magnets out of them so they could be on display all the time. They are way too pretty to be hidden inside my jewellery box. But I had to get my hands on a glue gun (yes, I'm a crafter that doesn't own a glue gun. I plan on changing that sooner than later).

Anyways, after borrowing a friend's glue gun I pulled out some crafts supplies... magnets and pin backs.

It didn't take very long to glue everything together. I think the longest part was figuring out which beads and colours I wanted to put together. I ended up making 4 magnets and 2 pins.

While I had the glue gun out I decided to stick a couple of magnets on the back of LSP that I received recently in the post. Now she gets to hang out on my fridge too!

I still have a lot of flower beads left. I think I might make some magnet sets to put with future gifts.

Check out No Snow Supplies for an amazing selection of vintage beads!
