This was the cake at my fella's graduation party. They are a bunch of hippy educators -soooooo, this is perfect.

Blue mason jars make perfect vases. They are heavy, attractive and practically indestructible. You can find them at second hand shops for a dollar or less. Perfect shabby chic. (Yes, I did just say shabby chic. Judge at will).

Can I justify spending $20.00 on these summer-lovelies-but-good-for-one-season-only gladiators (STUPID, STUPID name) from Kohls? Jury is out, but desire is in. That braid! I dig the braid.

As a cooker, eater, appreciator of pretty things and general organization fanatic - vintage Pyrex is basically cocaine. Gorgeous, functionally and capable of enduring a nuclear holocaust - there isn't much better.

And frankly - I'm not alone.

Yes, I like hoity toity expensive imported beverages. Pretend to be shocked. This one though is an absolute fav - partly because I love the foil seal over the top of the can. It feels luxurious and sanitary.

I am a sucker for this little retro print. Liberty of London's presence at Target may make resisting their terrifyingly cheap clothing more difficult.

My sister graduates next week and to celebrate I snagged her this little ditty. Nothing says smarty pants quite like owls right? But just in case, I plan to get it engraved with "terävä tyttö" which means "smart girl" in Finnish. Jealous? I thought so.
