{instant love} vintage baby nursery

The title of this nursery is "Days of White" and this nursery captures and displays beautifully the memorable "white days" in one's life.

The nursery design is by the creative Brooke @ All Things Thrifty.

The color palette and soft details of this shabby chic nursery are on point! My mom would absolutely die over this room. I could envision this in her cabin.

Love the homemade, whitewashed wooden door in the background. Made for $12 bucks, what a steal! White wash and the door tutorial are lovingly provided. Thanks!

Such delicate bedding... All those lace ruffles are made out of a $25 thrift store wedding dress!

Other room details:

Like the mobile?!? It is made out of thrift store foam Christmas ornaments!

The floral arrangement in the shadow box is actually her dried out wedding bouquet.


Lesson learned: Want beautiful, unique accessories?!? Hit up the local thrift store.

Great Job!!!

Enjoy!

{instant love} pretty packaging

The packaging alone makes me want to buy from Danni's shop! It is so great how she takes basic office supplies and makes them into something so fun!

I am especially digging those hot air ballon wooden tags *smile.

Check out all the wonderful items in her etsy shop **I am loving the pocket watch necklaces** and visit her fantastic blog.

Enjoy!

Gorgeous, right?!? The tutorial can be found over at Life Blessons

{instant love} leo reynolds typography printable

How great is this printable? Thank you Stephanie Lynn @ Under the Table and Dreaming for creating this printable with Leo Reynolds' squared circles. What is a squared circle you ask? A squared circle is a photograph of equal height and width, containing a circle. The circle must fill as much of the frame as possible with its outside edge remaining visible. Leo is a master of them. He has uploaded over 25,000 squared circles to his Flickr.

Print it out & enjoy!

{instant love} advent calendar adventure!

I know it its too late to do an advent calendar, but this is the one I want to create for next year. Geez, I feel as if I should start searching out things for Valentine's day so I have to time to craft! Anywho... I found an advent calendar that I absolutely LOVE, and I tried to re-find it. It was definitely a quest--let me tell ya! My blog reading hops from blog-to-blog so much I should leave behind breadcrumbs to find my way back! How can I help it?!? There is so much INSPIRATION out there! My only regret is that it took me this long in life to discover just some of it!


I turned to my top 2 blogs that post all kinds of crafty goodness: Tatertots & Jello and Someday Crafts. I was hoping they lead me to my dream calendar. No luck! Next up, GOOGLE. I got pretty inventive in my search criteria. The one that finally put me on the right trail:

From there, I saw the picture! It led me to A Little Tipsy which in turn led me to my final destination! The Painter Family's Advent Calendar.

Isn't she a beaut?

Mission completed ;)

Enjoy!

{instant love} burlap & corn husk table runner

Sometimes you stumble across things and have to blog your love for them! I looked through my blog feed and noticed this fantastic table runner on Someday Crafts.

Is this not fantastic?!? I am going to buy corn husks today, and I have yards of burlap at home waiting on a purpose! Amanda (what a great name lol) gives a great tutorial on her website. Please check it out & show her post some love! PS- I definitely looked at buying those chargers. Now, I have an excuse to do so!

Enjoy!
