Oh my, these photos by Nick Meek are STUNNING. They make me so happy that I just want to sit and stare at them all day. However, it occurs to me that this may not be the most productive use of my time. *Grinning from ear to ear*.

When you're out of sugar, settle for the old-fashioned solution. Wander next door and politely ask your neighbour if you can borrow a cupful.

Never attempt to sweeten your tea with rainbow sprinkles*. Unless, of course, you enjoy a delightful, brown sludge surprise at the bottom of your teacup.

'Twas a whimsical notion, nonetheless.

* Thanks to hubby Mark who discovered this the hard way.

I hope everyone had an awesome Easter weekend! Most importantly, I hope you consumed lots of chocolate. I sure did. In fact, I haven't really stopped.

Meanwhile, Orla Kiely's spring/summer 2012 collection is pure cuteness.

So, apart from the cheerful stripes in candy hues, why is this my new favourite mug?

Oh yes, I remember now...

Happy Easter/Passover weekend everybody! xo

Boxes, gift tags, and labels...oh my. I feel like a kid in a candy store browsing through this online shop full of colourful paper goodies. If you love getting creative when it comes to gift packaging, you'll adore "Blank".  (Oh, and it's based in Australia too!)

In particular, I'm loving these 'blank' wooden eggs. Gorgeous Easter gifts!

Because dachshunds rock.

Claudia Pearson dog plates from West Elm.

I probably spent a good half hour today scrolling through this awesome collection of yummy paper ephemera from tropical (or tropical themed) bars, restaurants, hotels and the like... Definitely worth a look!
