Wishlist Wednesday.

After seeing dinosaur toes' wishlist wednesday post, I was inspired to make one of my own!

So, if anyone knows me, they know that I LOVE owls! So, you can guess that I was very excited when I was looking around etsy today and found these adorable owl soaps made by  EternalSunshine!

Arent they just adorable with their little crocheted scarves?

What else you ask? Well, Ive been doing alot of looking around for cute things for the apartment, and for some reason I keep coming back to the kitchen. Maybe its my love of baking? There are two things that i especially love. Vintage hobnail glasses & a Kitchenaid mixer.

I love the white, but I wouldn't mind some in blue either. :)

Isn't the blue adorable?

Well, even though I'm sure I could go on and on forever, thats it for my Wednesday Wishlist this week! Sociology homework is callinggg. But before I go, I wanted to tell anyone who hasnt signed up for dinosaur toes' Knick Knack Exchange to hurry! I think theres still time, and its such a cool idea why wouldnt you want to be involved? Who knows! Maybe you'll get my knick knack! :)

La Petite

I just ordered this adorable little embroidery kit from Sublime Stitching! It comes with one 4" wood embroidery hoop, one pair of embroidery scissors, an embroidery needle, embroidery floss in 4 colors, stitch lesson, and your choice of one pattern pack (I chose "Forest Friends")! :) I cant wait! Yayyyy!

Embroidery Love

I really want to learn how to embroider. Like reallyyyy embroider, not just the little stuff I learned when I was little. And by hand, not with a machine. I recently bought some of the cutest vintage dish towels for just a dollars each (maybe pictures will come later?), and the poor little old man that sold them told me that embroidery was a "dying craft". He made it sound so sad! So, I have decided I will learn to embroider, and keep it "alive". Haha, no but really! I want to learn! :)

Childhood Memories

So, last night my mother and I were talking about all of the wonderful family trips that I have gone on in my lifetime. New York, Washington DC, the Grand Canyon, California, etc. But my favorites were always our summer trips to our old house in the little town up north. There is no mall, no tourist hot spots, and no fast food restaurants. Only mountains, clean air, and generations of families living together. In some ways, its like a step back in time. And it was MY home away from home. It is a symbol of all of the best parts of my childhood. By the end of the night, we had decided that we would go back to the old house this summer. It needs alot of fixing up but I know we can do it. Here are some pictures of my home away from home. :)

Things done today:

1. Went to my second day at Blinndergarten. My math teacher taught me more about ducks than math, the bookstore consists of a closet, and I believe I have officially had a class in every room of the school in my two short days there.

2. Looked at pictures of what will HOPEFULLY be my future apartment!!! :) Its modest, but still a nice little place for us to call home.

3. Gave my miniature dachshund Ralph a bath.

4. Skype'd with my two amazing people, Dena & Makenzie!

5. Looked at lots of amazing craft websites like The Design Sponge & Craftynest.
