DIY Pillow

See that pillow. It's made of doilies. Yes, doilies. Most people can find a huge stack of doilies at their parent's or grandparents house. And if not they cost anywhere from 0.49-0.99 each at the thrift store.

Rachel of the blog Smile and Wave made that pillow and posted a how-to. Click here to check it out.

If I weren't going to India and, you know, and still had a couch to put the pillow on, I'd totally be making one this weekend. Heck, I might take some doilies to India and make a few while I'm there. You know, to spruce up whatever cheap sofa I'll have while I'm there.

Second Uses

How fantastic are these hanging lanterns?

While their intended use is for outdoors (the garden or porch) I think they would look delightful hanging inside in a spot that needs a little...something something.

Think I may get one, or two, to hang in the corner of my bedroom - 

to inject a world-traveled feel to the room.

(because they are quite Moroccan-ish in feel aren't they?)

And while I'm there I may just pick up one of these....

...because even though they are for flowers I think it would look incredibly chic on my desk filled with pens and pencils...nice pens and pencils of course ;)

Pink Hearts

I am kinda in love with this photo:

It's just so deliciously girly. And while I wouldn't call myself a girly-girl, it certainly has me thinking of new bedding for my bedroom. The heart print, the scalloped edges....love it.
