Oh, my. How adorable are these prints from Haciendo El Indio? I can’t stop looking at all of the super cute characters. They also make irresistible dolls, bibs, and crib and wall decorations for childrens’ rooms and nurseries. The shop is based in Spain, but they ship worldwide, so you can have a little piece of Haciendo Et Lindio wherever you live!

Anna Rifle Design Lighted Pennant

We finally have some sunshine around these parts, which reminds me that it’s summer. I really do need a reminder, given the weather that we’ve had lately. I spotted the perfect summer-y DIY over at Once Wed last week, and since I’m finally feeling the warmer weather and sunshine, I had to share it here.

Anna Bond of Rifle Design, creator of fantabulous illustrated wedding invitation designs, shows us how to make an oh so pretty lighted paper garland, perfect for outdoor weddings, parties, and even a spiffy barbecue. Head over to Once Wed for the step-by-step tutorial, and have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Twig & Thistle 4th of July DIY

July 03, 2009 // kristen // 2 replies

I spotted this incredible 4th of July DIY project by Kathleen of Twig & Thistle on Twitter the other day, and I just had to give it a mention here, too. What better way to decorate for the summer festivities than with these awesome printables? Kathleen has created super pretty matchbook and straw tags, as well as sparkler cards for you to download and use to deck your fireworks-filled shindigs out in red, white, and blue. Thank you for your generosity, Kathleen!

To everyone in the US (and anywhere else) who celebrates Independence Day, have a fun-filled, safe, and hopefully sunny (we’ll see what happens here in Boston) day! See everyone back here on Monday.
