{happy list} let's go fly a kite

occasionally when i'm in a bum mood about having an office job (and an office w/ 0 windows!) ... i listen to disney. it's true. today is one of those days. feeling burnt out after a looong week.

but "let's go fly a kite" just put me in so much better of a mood.

1 // this adorable kite artwork - so sunny and sweet. a must do for a future nursery (not that i'm pregnant, bc i definitely am not!) check out sunshine and carousel's before/after.

2 // this pretty pretty kite print dress available @ the red velvet shop (unfortunately it's currently out of stock. but here's hoping they restock it soon!)

my sweet friend ellen of black and white and loved all over posted pictures of the invites she created for her little tessa's 1st birthday - and her new obsession w/ sewing on paper. definitely going to give this a go this weekend!

4 // this sweet photo by alexandrena parker and that perfect homemade kite.

5 // this annual kite festival top by danish designer nümph available on modcloth. the multi-colored ribbons are the perfect little detail. simple and adorable!

just a note ... it seems a bit inappropriate to have a {happy list} today. my thoughts and prayers are with those in japan affected by the earthquake & tsunami. as i continue to see more and more devastation through pictures, i am reminded how silly i am to complain about an office w/out windows. definitely puts life into perspective.
