Oh yes, time for a little eye candy.
Thursday evening I had a little run in with the impressively rude little twerp at a nearby grocery store. I almost pulled one of these, with groceries in lieu of papers:
Last night was an eye candy night. Before embarking on some evening research (after a long day of research) I needed something pretty too look at. So I took another look at the cute billy buttons Carrie, from Dream DIY, made. I love when people try my felted wool billy button tutorial. It makes me so happy when the project turns out and it's so fun to see them styled so many different ways. Carrie's styling is exceptionally inspirational and her cheery photos were just the right amount of chill out stress relief I needed. I hope you enjoy too!
Look, she made a few more:
Check out these posts to see more billy button success stories: Emily's, Tamsyn's and Krista's. And if you are looking for more eye candy, take a look at Carrie's blog for fun projects and perfectly styled vignettes!
P.S. Thanks to everyone for their input on my impeding splurge, and also for your kind words on the reveal of the teeny tiny corner of the basement. I hope you all have a splendid weekend!
Thanks for the shout out (and the AWESOME inspiration), Tanya!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy to! Your billy buttons are perfect in your gorgeous home.
DeleteLove the felt buttons but distracted by the brass bed...wow & looks good!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that brass bed gorgeous? I love how she paired it with the vintage inspired pastel colours, too.
DeleteThe eye candy is great- I really have to try the billy buttons (have to get off my duff and order some roving)
ReplyDeleteBUT.... I was incredibly amused by the "inspirational" poster. I can't imagine myself ever doing something like this but I have fantasized about it.
My favourite story is my brother's boss waiting in line with his wife at Walmart with bedding in a long snaking lineup with only 2 check-outs open. There's a particularly slow customer at the cash, needing a price check or counting pennies, when he looses it, colourfully expresses his frustration and drop-kicks the bed-in-a-bag across the check out. I live vicariously through that story when I have a difficult cashier encounter.
You MUST make some so I can feature them! Or, just so you can enjoy them. They really are cheery.
DeleteHaha - I wondered if anyone has felt the same way! I don't think I have ever sworn on the blog because it's just not that kind of space, but I was so darn frustrated!! I LOVE that story and if I would have seen your brother's boss doing that, I might have just died laughing. I wish I were that hilarious when I'm frustrated! Your story made my day - and gave me an idea, lol.
Nice! Love these boms :)
ReplyDeletethanks for share.
