looloo and i don't want to get out of bed this am.
one of us got a tad too excited about the american idol pool that she started.
yup, one of us had a bit too much wine.

happy friday!

owl take two: rain gear

i have a sneaking suspicion that we are going to make the most of our rain gear in the next couple months. 

'tis the season for  fb status updates with jokes about building an arc and kiddos that are climbing the walls. . .

so when we do venture out, the munkies may as well look good.

loving these i-play rain coats from babies r us.  love them so much that c & p have them, guess which color . . . 

how did you guess?

also digging these hatley coats available at cabela's.

and lots of adorable matching rainboots at the hatley site.

can always count on mini-boden - how great is the boy's anorak that folds into this tiny pouch?

splurge alert - burberry boots at  bloomie's!

run don't walk. . .hunter boots on sale at piperlime right now!

{stay tuned for some REALLY good-goodies coming of c&p in theirs.  guess which color. . .)

sweet silhouettes. . . literally

this lovely party has been making the rounds on the blog-circuit, and rightfully so. . . it's absolutely precious.  i adore the use of the silhouette. . .obvi.  

oh yeah, and the pink. . . so. much. fabulous. pink.

seriously?  love-LOVE. . . 

swoooooon.  

 {i'm fortunate to own this crown tuscan cake stand available here.}

melanie mauer did an amazing job capturing this perfect celebration from lovely little parties.

bravo, ladies. . .bra-vo.
miss ella is as lucky as she is adorable!

night owls : follow-up

so do we LOVE "bea's room" even more now that we see adorable bea in it?!  

big thanks to my first lil hoot client, ms. A, who happens to have FABULOUS taste, for sending me this image via the quadrille fabric site.  it was featured in the april issue of traditional home. i mean, if you have something by your computer to wipe up your drool, head on over.

the gorgeous fabric, Quadrille's Paradiso Background in Raspberry, used on the headboard is available to the trade at 102 dollars a yard. . .steep. . .perhaps worth it?
looks like bea thinks so!

i am totes in love with this room.  i mean, can you stand it?  it's positively LOVELY.  i'm a sucker for built-ins and as you may have read before, i have a soft spot for silhouettes.  {these pillows might seal the deal on the carter kustera decision that i must make SOON.  maybe need to choose me and CBC above the bed in the master?  hmmmm. . .i digress.}

c & p have a teal, pink and white nursery but this is a more sophisticated version.  i heart it.  i've been itching to change up the color scheme when we move to the big girl room but perhaps not. . . ?

find these precious pink toile pjs on sale here

available at amazon

we received this wonderful book from one of our coolest aunnie "shelbys".  we cherish it and often give the same one as gifts (imitation truly is the sincerest form of flattery!)  i even featured it on glitter, glue & fireflies holiday gift guide for little girls.

 i think it will be the perfect addition to the bedroom above. . . 

swoooon.

naptime treat: tender threads

i promised i would have some goodies for you this gloomy monday afternoon.  i'm so happy to share this delightful find!  

seriously obsessed. . .and cannot stop swooning.  can. NOT. stop.

barbara rucci of tender threads in new canaan, ct is the very talented heart and soul behind these gorgeous creations.  

i worship these quilts, they make my heart happy.  

i'm loving the peter pan collar detail!

and the bunny ears. . . swoooooon

images via tender threads

below are some images i snagged off tender threads' facebook page.  love-love-LOVE how they tell a story. . .

c & p and i are working overtime stuffing our piggy banks to save for these.  even the pictures have brightened my day.  having the real thing, joining c & p's precious past with the present, would make me overjoyed.  

{i'm thinking we have a new plan for our petit bateau bunny outfits}

wow - this big girl room is really shaping up. . .
