The water in the canal had a glow to it.

Very old and rusty. Love the texture!

Egg-Psych-ing Pencils
This was Miss Middle School's Easter basket.
It contained the usual assortment of candies,treats and beauty supplies...like any teenage girl would want. I also found some really fun pencils to tuck in there to make her smile.
I stumbled upon this pencil set. Each one has a different nickname that Shawn Spencer gives to Burton Guster on the show Psych(see our recent obsession with the show here).
I found them at this etsy shop..
Not to worry, College Girl got a set in her Easter care package too.
She got the Hipster Bingo Set.
There were so many fun ones to choose from!
Like, Batman sound effects...
"whack"!
and Twin Peaks(anybody remember that show?)
My husband would have loved the Spinal Tap collection.
"Put it up to 11".
I, personally liked the Good Things set. I mean, who doesn't love pink unicorns and extra sprinkles?
They are a sweet, inexpensive and personal gift.
Want your own set?

Disclosure: I'm not being compensated by the company, I just really like these pencils!

Window Shopping at Ikea
You may or many not know that we've been working on a staircase gallery wall and it was finally coming together when two things occurred. 1) We had an unfortunate frame accident and 2) We realized that we needed a few more frames to complete the wall.
It was a sacrifice but I made the trip to Ikea for more frames.
While I was there, I felt it was my duty to see what was new/inspiring and report back.
I took all of these photos with my Iphone.
I have a few of these red lanterns but I loved the bright poppy pink and orange ones for summer!
This petite sewing machine (that my daughter got for Christmas) was featured in a few room set ups. I'm always looking for sewing/craft room ideas. This is kind of my dream crafting space.
Nothing was blooming yet so these faux gerbera daisies brightened my day.
I was drawn to this room and it's gorgeous blue wall, the whole set up made me want to repaint my dining room.
I've looked at this table so many times as a possible sewing room solution. It folds down to almost nothing but extends and has storage too. I took a photo this time, for good measure.
This was another sewing room idea that caught my eye. Spools of thread and other notions were stored in large mason-type jars. How clever is that?
I got sidetracked by this gorgeous bathroom tile. It was pretty droolworthy!
I did find the frames I needed and a few other items jumped into my cart.
I mean, what's a trip to Ikea without a few unplanned purchases.
In the back are curtains for the living room..finally!
Have you been to Ikea lately?
