Vintage Books, Pretty Necklaces, and Dumb Friends: It’s Friday I’m in Love


Favorite comment on Prudent Baby: Rebekah left a comment on our Beautiful Dress Up Wings tutorial, with a link to this picture of the set she made using our instructions. OMG, have you ever seen such a cutie? Everyone go give your child wings: How to Make Beautiful Dress Up Wings.

Awesomest day of the week: Wednesday! Why? Because it was Jacinda’s birthday. Jacinda, to make up for my dumbness in forgetting and texting you inane work questions instead of sending you champagne and babysitters, I give you this lobster cake (via Cake Opera Co.). If I had your skills I would make a cake lobster-thought-bubble that says “I’m sorry.”

Random blog we are crushing on: I came across this blog through my literary agent’s pinterest, and I just fell in love with it. Vintage Childrens’ Books My Kid Loves is exactly what it sounds like, a treasure trove of beautifully illustrated reading material that will take you and your kid back in time.

Our pin you loved the most: This week the honor goes to the Summertime Jumper Tute we posted on Monday.

Funny thing my kid said: She didn’t say anything funny, cause she’s all sick and snuggly right now. We are on appendicitis watch, send us good vibes.

New fabric on my wish list: I LOVE this Alexander Henry Folklorico – in both colorways. Go check it out, I think you’ll adore it. I did just get my latest fabricworm stash, with many yards of Dear Stella Maasai Mara in Nairobi Cream (not sold out yet! snag!).

Place I wish we were headed this weekend: To Chicago, to see my friend Sonya and go to her salon and have her work her magic on my hair. Dude, I love highlights but they are kind of a pain when your stylist lives 4,000 miles away. I’d stay at Longman and Eagle and I’d definitely eat twelve entire pizzas.

This thing I acquired and utterly adore: Oh, just THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NECKLACE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!

Pray tell mamas, what were the highlights of your week?
