when i discovered joojoo’s art blog (via august empress) i instantly fell in love. inspiration boards, watercolor paintings and possibly the most beautiful sketchbooks i’ve ever seen!

you can click on the photos to read the stories behind each of these sketchbook entries, don’t they make you want to start keeping one?

ohhhh, i love these! what a perfect way to entertain your guests at a get together! wouldn’t this be fun at a wedding reception, baby shower or going away party? playing grown up has several chalk board options that each allow guests to write a personalized note on them. set up a photo booth at your next gathering and let the speech-bubble-fun begin!

wow, was this a quick, easy and oh-so-worth it way to spruce up my ol’ ironing board!!  i ordered this ironing board cover last week from city chic country mouse, and was so excited when it arrived.  it really did do wonders for my entire sewing room!  now i’ve got some projects to finish with coordinating fabrics, can’t wait to share them with you!

jamie and carmen are a mom and daughter team who own and run their etsy shop, blog and facebook page. mom (the country mouse) and daughter (the city chic) come together to make these lovely ironing board covers, towels, scissor holders, clothespin bags and more!  city chic country mouse makes it easy to brighten up your sewing space, what a beautiful way to collaborate together!

have a sunny weekend, and i’ll be looking forward to seeing you back here on monday! xo, bonnie

i think we’ve had a good week here, don’t you?  i’ve had so much fun chatting with you all!  i’ve got some more really fun stuff planned for next week, and hopefully i’ll be fulfilling a promise i made long ago on monday- i’m at least going to try!

i had so much fun doing my first mood board, that i’m going to stick to what i said and do some more!  this one of course, was inspired by valentine’s day. cupcakes, cinnamon cookies, dark chocolate and russian tea- yup, that about sums it up!

do you see the soap bar in the middle? that is yummy chocolate soap by mojo spa- and it’s incredible! it smells so delicious.  what could be better than having permission to rub chocolate all over your body? :)

pretty little things like these vintage buttons really me, i love looking at all the little details in life.

what are you doing for valentine’s day? i think we’re going to lay low this weekend and spend the day at home with movies and a nice dinner.  i really want some new bubble bath, i haven’t had any in months! so i’m just putting that out there- sweetie, did you catch that?

xoxo!

this is my project inspiration for a blogging class that i’m taking by the lovely holly of decor8, what do you think?  these are things that truly inspire me, and the colors and soft palette make me feel so feminine and peaceful!

this was fun, but even more so therapeutic, and you guessed it! inspiring.  so, i hope to start doing more of these to share with you.  it’s important for all of us to gather the beauty in our lives that inspire us, don’t you think?
