Weekly Devotional: 5.18.15

What is going on?  I've been watching babes do ballet, hitting the soccer fields, and slowly accepting that my baby is not a baby anymore.

Oh, I went to the decorator's showhouse.  I can honestly say it sucked less than usual.  And this mural was really good in person...which is soooooo rare.

We also worked on our planters.  The girls like a multi-colored approach, and I had just seen this image in my pinterest feed so I was easy to convince.

We aren't quite there yet, but this is a good start:

And I went to Milwaukee and had breakfast at Holy Moly Donuts because I could--I had the Violet Beauregard (blueberry filled with blueberry cream cheese icing) and a cake donut with blood orange glaze.  I ate half of each and they were delish.  While i have no trouble eating an extra 1000 calories a day while work traveling, I always have trouble surfing the web--its like walking and chewing gum for me.  Or it isn't...however that expression is supposed to work.  Luckily I have stock piled links because this is all I saved while I was travelling:  70s amazingness.

Need those shoes.  And the attitude.

Viva la Biba :) via  That heavy bottom lash is really working for me.  And turbans...that is a whole post.  

But......

Mrs. Blandings wrote a charming piece on hand drawn lampshades, among other things.

She has also provided inspiration for my next birthday:

 A beautiful book on San Francisco--a must read before your next trip.  Mielle could inspire a party or two.

And incase that pic failed to make you hungry, try this super chic cake shoot.  Edible flowers can be found on amazon.com, btw.

Am I the only one who is in love with this?  Hillarious DIY here.

This DIY is so hardcore...these are resin bangles.  Like she mixes resin and has a bangle mold.  This is too advanced for me but just knowing this is in the realm of DIY opens up a lot possibilities in the future.  

Its not a weekly devotional without one home tour.  And I compulsively point out every published home with Chiang Mai Dragon upholstering goods.

Amazing performance art and art..  Even if you are less obsessed with Spirographs than I am (because everyone is a little obsessed, natch), you will enjoy the human spirograph.  Someone on the interwebs has tried this out...use photo backdrops if you need paper that big.

Bonus points if you turn in a human sized spirograph piece :)
