i spy!

5 things that have caught my eye this week:

1 // sap bucket collection via hatch creative. i mentioned during my first "hello neighbor" post that i'm really digging a good vintage collection. and i think i've landed on collecting sap buckets! i love all the fantastic colors and excuses for fresh flowers!!!  they also remind me of sweet memories of new england (and wade's love of maple syrup).

2 // vintage coffee can tiered tray DIY via brooklyn limestone. i've been looking for a cute way to store teas and all the coffee essentials. this is an absolute must!

3 // diascia hybrid via proven winners. the summer sun has taken a toll on our container garden leaving us with several empty pots. these whimsical flowering plants adorned the tables at mike and nicole's wedding over the weekend. excited to find out that they are hardy and "maintenance free", it's time to plant something new, don't you think?

4 // thai red curry soup via the culinary chronicles. there's nothing quite like a summer head cold! wah wah. it's way too lovely outside to be inside recouping. so i'm hoping a hot bowl of thai red curry soup will do the trick. of course - i don't want just any ol' bowl of red curry soup. i want a perfect recreation of the red curry soup at thai phooket (our fav thai restaurant in town)! time to explore a few recipes and create a perfect match.

5 // camping inspiration via scout's honor co. wade and i are planning a camping trip to celebrate our 30th birthdays (my big 3-0 is this saturday and wade's is the 27th). i've been scouring the web for a few fun ideas and stumbled upon this mini collection via scout's honor co. yes, please! based in vermont, their design lends itself to vintage new england. i'll have one of everything please!

happy wednesday. xo.

i spy!

5 things that caught my eye this week:

1 // set of 3 washi tape stamps via memi the rainbow. i love washi tape - i love stamps - best of both worlds!

2 // mint green mini heart earrings via dariami. aren't these tiny polymer clay & copper earrings the sweetest? love them.

3 // spekuloos spread via wafels & dinges. on our way home from ethiopia, wade tried to squeeze in a quick tour of NYC for me. i haven't been there since i was 11. we treated ourselves at the wafels & dinges' food truck in central park to a vanilla/spekuloos waffle cone. spekuloos is a traditional belgian gingerbread-cinnamon cookie that they've made into a yummy spread. (sadly it's not gfree.) but it alone is worth a trip back to the big apple. ooh yum wouldn't that be fun on an apple.

4 // dremu oil via the derm store. okay okay - vegan friends and faint of stomach beware. this is 100% emu oil! (yes emu - the bird native to australia. although this is big trend right now, the aborigines have been using emu oil for years for healing everything from fevers, coughs, arthritic pain to cuts & rashes!). i got a sample in the mail this week w/ my order from the derm store and before i realized what it actually was had already used it twice. so - do i keep using the sample bc i like the results or barf bc i have bird juice on my face?!?

5 // post-it note goal list via cornflower blue studio. CUTE, right? yup definitely on the "to do list: this weekend! i could use a little motivation now that the heat is rising & a summer nap sounds most tempting every afternoon around 2. :)

happy weekend-ing, folks. xo.
