Yesterday was Spring Equinox and also the start of the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC. How I’d love to see all the pink blossoms that dot the city. Instead, I’ll be daydreaming in delicate flower crowns, pretty rings, and a spritz of cherry blossom perfume. By the way, how good do those cherry blossom dark chocolates filled with cherry almond liquid caramel look! I also found these adorable cherry blossom sticky notes. Come back tomorrow for a free cherry blossom notecard to print out and celebrate Spring!

PS: If you are looking for more cherry blossom inspiration, try making a crown like this.

I’ve been daydreaming in pallets for a while now. I work in a warehouse with plenty of them and I often dream of making all the discards into amazing furniture. My inspiration folder was bursting when I checked it today, so I thought it was the perfect time to share so that you can join in on these pallet transformations.

What would you make with found pallets?

I’m so in love with all things honeycomb ball! Seriously, how can you not smile at the sight of them? Besides, a bunch of my friends & my birthday are coming up starting today. My college friend A’s is today, mine is the 23rd, my other good college friend E is 25th, and my high school friend M’s is the 27th. I’m drawn to fellow pisces, I suppose. Lots of reason to celebrate!

Have you used honeycomb balls for celebrations before?

DIY on A Subtle Revelry

Since watching Moonrise Kingdom, A and I have been talking about converting our secret attic room into a cute “tent.” This beautiful inspiration on A Subtle Revelry had me lusting after a sweet and feminine version. I’m extra loving those stars & giant flowers.

Do you have an attic room? What have you done with it?
