night owls. . .the country bunny edition

who remembers the country bunny and the little gold shoes? the ultimate bedtime story this time of year. i took the gorgeous coral color palate to create this week's 'night owls'.

i just heart this chair {and wallpaper}. i have a similar houndstooth fabric sitting in my 'pile' with all of the other fabrics that i plan on doing something with at some point.

i haven't been able to find this image in a print, but i simply must have it somewhere in my home. i adore it and i need to believe it. . . and after all, isn't it what easter is all about?

that and this. . .

c & p's 1st year portraits by wonderful corinna raznikov

which of course we already have and send all of you!

find the LOVE poster on etsy.

{you'll have to get your own twins}

oh, and look- here's the country bunny's little gold shoes!

c& p's mary janes are no longer available but head over to trumpette for the metallic mocs. . .

naptime treat: more garland love

not much of a DIYer, as you may have picked up on by now, but i heart this concept!

i've been a sucker for paint chips since i was a wee one, which actually came in handy when i was on bed rest with c & p. i swear i looked at paint chips for days on end, and was totes content {minus decent food and my pups}

even the doctors and nurses would join in on the fun.

i'm thinking this could be a great conversation piece- people love to talk paint colors. . . and it's just, well, pretty freaking adorable.

amy atlas re-posted steph from modern parents messy kids phenom tutorial this am. head over to the modern parents messy kids blog for the full details. {totes love that name, btw}

enjoy!

thanks again to steph and amy for sharing this eggcellent idea.

{you know i love working in a pun on a tuesday}

owl take two. . . in yellow

so i promised to post some easter goodies. but there are just so. many. to choose from!

i've decided to separate the 'owl take two' by color.

i'm working with these cute baskets from pottery barn kids as my inspiration today.

and they are on sale for 8.99!

perf for the crawford chicks.

love that cute tushie on the bunny. . . hmmm, decisions.

{must get two of the same to avoid WWIII. wahwahhh}

i'm totally fixated on this LIHO dress that is sold-out on zulily. boo.

available at janie & jack

this lil girl looks a bit creepy (sorry little girl if you're reading!) but this dress is sort of awesome.

available here

good ol' mini-boden

easter is the kick-off to official lilly season in these parts. why not start with this delightful shift?

yellow chevron. love. buy yours here

available here, at gymboree, who knew?

pick up these sunny shades at the gap.

what a fab treat for the basket!

you've seen them before and you'll see them again. . . i just heart joyfolie shoes. these are called the daffodil shoe.

oh, and hey easter bunny, don't forget about moi.

available at neiman marcus

yes, please. thank you.

what color do we tackle next? such. big . fun!

naptime treat: garland love

did anyone else see this gorgeous garland in martha's latest wedding issue?

martha stewart weddings and i hadn't hung out in awhile but she still calls my name at the airport gift shop {along with the diet coke and cheez-its.}

anywho, this image caught my eye. a bit pricey and i'm sure someone with an oz. of craftiness (unfortch not me) could whip one up for 1/100 of the cost, but i still love. . .think it could be adorbs in the girl's room.

something pretty on this gloomy day if nothing else.

monday punday: sneak peek

hellooooooooo, old friends. i'm back.

and i'm everything one should be post-vacay.

tan. check.

five pounds heavier. check.

new laugh lines from having so. much. fun. CHECK.

rejuvenated. check.

a bit depressed to be back to reality. check.

realizing "reality" is not so bad?

check!

i missed you! i was going to give you the post-vacay wrap-up today but to be honest, i'm just not ready to talk about it. . . it was that good.

i must admit, i did enjoy the time away from it all and i was none too pleased to be greeted by a lovely "wintry mix" upon my arrival to logan on thursday night, but luckily i had the super mac party to look forward to.

super mac happens to be my nephew and godson, and for all intents and purposes, he is the closest thing to a super hero i know. . .

some very special peeps were busy bees all day friday and saturday preparing.

sugar on top (obvi) and supermom lc . . .

paiges of style had already put in her late nights and long hours creating THE most adorbs paper goods- swoon city, folks. . . get ready for some serious eye-candy. . .

and of course the fabulous meredith nelson was kind enough to capture the festivities. eternally grateful to this chick, i mean i just cannot say it enough.
AND the party was at you & me studio, my very fave place for a party!

are we talking dream team or what?

i'll gush more about these ladies more when i do the full party post.

for now, i have the ultimate pun for monday punday.

it happens to be a "sneak peek" of super mac's party.

it is my precious P peeking at the dessert table. i swear on all my future vacations this was unscripted. this silly lil rabbit pulled the flower pot seat right up to the table in the midst of the birthday party chaos to take a closer look at sugar on top's gorgeous confections.

{she managed to keep her paws off until super mac blew out the candles so i guess i'll keep her.}

for those of you questioning miss P's choice of outfit, i hear ya. first of all, wasn't she just wearing those polka-dotted leggings in the amazebalz hunter boot pic that fabulous meredith shot a few weeks ago? YES. we like to get our use out of the 4 dollar target legging. i worship target. plus, these leggings are the only things we own with purple (my least fave color) in them. and i know what you're thinking, why, in the name of Jesus, is she wearing a purple t-shirt to the birthday party anyway?

well, because it's super, and it rules, that's why.
