wrapped in piano strings

well i had a crazy day at work today, i have a big headache and it's way too hot, but i did a little mushroom & moss vintage shop update (check out this amazing thermos and lunch box!) and now i'm going to reward myself with ice cream (coffee with slivered almonds, yum).

i also wanted to share my latest thrifty find ~ this amazing vintage fisher price "change a tune" piano. so freaking cute!!! it'll probably go up in my shop at some point, but for now i just like to look at it :)

hope you're having a great week!

the sun shines through the curtained lace and shadows wash the room

went to a few estate sales yesterday morning and listed some of my fun finds in my mushroom & moss vintage shop (including a few things i'd been holding out on listing ~ sometimes i just need some time before i can let them go :)

i also found a bag full of the sweetest little birthday cake decorations. i don't know what it is but i just *love* old boxes of birthday candles. they make me so happy! hm, that might explain why i dreamed about a ginormous sheet cake last night. sadly i woke up before i got to eat any. you can guess what i'll be doing today!!

have a lovely weekend!

looking out across the morning, the city's heart begins to beat

i have today off and a to-do list a mile long, but it's overcast and lovely out and i had delicious homemade granola for breakfast so i'm excited to get this day started. just a few things to mention ~

~ i did a guest post for summer on design is mine of my vintage back-to-school wish list.

~ check out these pretty vintage-map covered 12 things i love about you mini books custom order i made recently. i might make some of these to sell, they're so lovely!

~ i held a crafty girl's night at the park last night ~ the plan was to make some amazing wire creations like these or these (gah! so gorgeous) but debbie and amy warned me and they were right: wire is impossible!!! so instead we brought our favorite crafty/inspirational books and magazines (brittany brought a stack of gorgeous uppercase magazines, i didn't want to give them back to her!) and chatted and ate snacks. it was such a lovely night!! (if you live in portland and want to join us sometime just let me know. we had 3 new girls last night and they were lovely!)

~ i think that's it for now. that pretty polaroid is of the sunset the other night. my sweetie and i went to the top of an empty parking garage to get the perfect shot. i just added it to my shop here. hope you're having a great week!
