Sweet Seven

As I mentioned in a previous post...I work a 9-5 job.  A lot of my work is based on the computer so in my down time I tend to wander around the internet searching for lovely things.  I honestly can't help it!  Here's seven sweet pieces that I've been in adornment of all week. 


1.

Peas Pass the Salt and Pepper Shakers- ModCloth

 I cannot describe how cute these two are.  It was pretty much love at first sight. They are a little pricey in comparison to some other places that sell the same concept (ie: Pier 1) but these ones are much cuter with their painted faces and subtle pod.

Canvassing Backpack in Uptown- ModCloth

I feel like I'm beating this coral color to the bone (since it appears twice in the Sweet Seven) but it really is my current favorite so why hide it?  This bag is so simple and perfect, it's making me want to attempt pattern making, dye some canvas and get sewing!  I'm terrible at patterns and following directions in general so this is most likely in my dreams but it's definitely something I want to learn.

Sweet Tooth Cookie Jar- Urban Outfitters

I'm obsessed with teeth and always have been; I have literally no idea why.  When I was younger I would say I wanted to be a dentist even though I'm pretty sure I had no real desire I just loved teeth.  I made a ton of art about teeth in college and it turned out most times to be a pretty big hit.  Turns out lots of people share this same interest with me; once you admit your love for teeth other lovers start coming out of the closet.  This cookie jar is sweet!

Camera Love iPhone Case- Urban Outfitters x Society6 Print Shop

I was never aware of this society6 print shop that Urban Outfitters has on their website until I had too much time to browse.  I am in love with the concept that you can pick a print made by an artist and make it your iPhone case, laptop case, or just do it the old fashioned way and have it printed, sent to you, and hung up on your wall.  I love old cameras and thought this was sweet.  I "Amazon Universal Wish Listed" about 6 of these guys but this was one of my favorites.

Vintage 70's Orange Floral Lace Mid Day Dress- btbvintage (Etsy)

Here's coral-ish sweet find number two.  I love the 70's, flowers, dresses, and this color so this is a win, win, win for me.  I would seriously consider purchasing it if I hadn't made a million other purchases lately (a new computer included)
6.

Home Is Where You Are- Urban Outfitters

I love this for about 12 different reasons.  It's so simple and cute and true and it's amazing.  I want to re-create this in my own way. 
7.

Jeffrey Campbell Delilah Tan Leather Platform Wedges- LuLu

If I were going to drop dead tomorrow I would need to have these first so I could wear them as I depart this world.  I'd probably give an arm to have these.  If I could have the 70's dress with these 70's inspired wedges I would be the happiest girl in the world, and also wear both every single day.  So.Attractive.

That sums up the Sweet Seven.  I intend to do this often..I am constantly adding things to my Amazon Wish List.  They seriously couldn't have invented a better (or worse) little button for your toolbar.  It really is an awesome idea and I use it everyday. It's nice to conveniently track all your interests and inspirations. 

As you may have briefly read in my blurb about the 70's floral dress...I found out yesterday that my beloved laptop is beyond reasonable repair (has an issue where I can't see the screen very well due to a death red that has consumed it) so I bit the bullet and rooted myself -quite literally- with a refurbished 2010 21.5 inch screen iMac desktop computer.   I'm looking forward to adapting to a new computer lifestyle.  I wanted to move away from the laptop to avoid spending so much down time staring at a screen just because it was convenient and portable, and spend  even more time on my crafts.  =]

Have a great Thursday!
