Here's just a few of the things I'm swooning over these days. Think of it as a special mid-month "Monthly Faves" post with prettier photos :)
1. The idea of Black & Tan cookie bars topped with everyone's favorite bar snack seems pretty ingenious.
2. How fun would colored masking tape printed with your logo be?! I can think of dozens of applications...
3. My desire to buy a sewing machine was cemented when I saw this quilt, in that exact color scheme. Perfect.
4. Black & white living spaces seem so clean and fresh to me, and I love the pop of striped pillows and fun artwork in Lotta Agaton's living room.
5. This photobook by Nettio Designs is a great twist on Ali Edwards' "A Week In the Life" photo and journaling challenge. It might be my favorite example of AWITL that I've seen yet.
6. I'm in the midst of brainstorming how I want to wrap my holiday gifts this year {see last year's wrapping here}. Kraft paper, yellow and white is my current favorite.
And a bonus, in case you missed it yesterday: The Hunger Games movie trailer is out and HOLY, GOOSEBUMPS. I've been super nervous about how they're going to do the movie, and this trailer eased those worries for sure {even if I still wouldn't have cast Woody as Haymitch}.
Is there anything you've been loving lately?
PS- Have you entered the giveaway for a gift certificate to the Sadie Designs shop yet? The giveaway will be open until Friday!
I am very excited for the movie though I am not sure about most of the casting choices yet -except Jennifer Lawrence. She will be a teriffic Katniss. That AWITL photobook is fantastic.
ReplyDelete@Danielle ~ I was unsure of the casting of the boys and Effie, but seeing them in action eased my concerns a bit. Still not convinced with Haymitch AT ALL-- he doesn't look gruff/grizzly enough to me.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I were rooting for Jennifer Lawrence to be cast before they even announced she was in the running for Katniss. We watched Winter's Bone last year and immediately said, she'd make an AWESOME Katniss.
I can't believe you posted the most delicious looking baked goods when I'm moving and can't make them! Noooo! I will have to bookmark this post and come back to them. Hope you're having a great week, Caiti.
ReplyDeleteI got teary eyed AND had goosebumps while watching the Hunger Games trailer!!!! So then I showed it to my husband (he has not read the book) and I asked him what he thought from a non-reader-of-the-book perspective. He said, "I donno. It looks boring." HAHAHAH WHAT. Okayyy. Great.
ReplyDeleteSo was I the only one who pictured Haymitch to be like a more human looking version of Hadgrid from Harry Potter? I think Effie looks amazing, even more otherworldly than I pictured but in a good way.
@Megan ~ Get your husband to read the book, stat! :) He's missing out.
ReplyDeleteFor Haymitch, I think I was visualizing a scruffy (and drunk) Phillip Seymour Hoffman type of character. Or even Hugh Laurie. But I can see how you went to Hagrid :) I'm really happy with how Effie looks too.
