may day!

Tomorrow is May Day, my friends! Martha's got it covered, of course. Here are her instructions for making a maypole and she's even got dance instructions. Happy May Day!

two things + weekend!

With the impending summer, I've been thinking back to last summer's trip to Sweden. I took these Polaroids while wondering around Vaxholm.

  

Two things:

If you are in Portland, check out Crafty Wonderland this weekend. Our friend Abby will be there along with a whole host of other amazing crafters.

I am always surprised how bloggers can really pull together to help people. Consider donating to this fundraiser for Lynn's son Liam and be entered to win some gorgeous handcrafted goods.

Have a wonderful weekend, readers!

Polaroids by me.

misha lulu spring 2010

Super cute ensembles from Misha Lulu this season. The little red skirt is a favorite and I simply adore these shots the photographer got.

By Coincidence, Misha Lulu is a Frolic! Sponsor.

my nightstand

  

Kate over at The Goodie Life asked to see a photo of my nightstand for her series. I am kind of cringing at those dirty windows (It's embarrassing to show these things on the Internet!). If you care to, you can take a look at the post here. Thanks, Kate! I love your blog, especially the bio which I can wholeheartedly relate to, minus the baking bit!

P.S. My current read, pictured on my night stand is This Common Ground: Seasons on an Organic Farm.

breezy tops + dresses

     

I love these simple tanks and dresses for summertime.  From Steven Alan.

P.S. Some readers informed me that the site was loading very slowly. I've tried to resize a bunch of the photos. Please let me know if it is working better for you now. Thanks so much!

travel journal

  

I love this little travel journal a stylist at J.Crew put together from one of their shoots. I've been meaning to do this with all my Polaroids from Sweden and Greece. But, if my other two trips to Europe are any indication, it will be half way done in 12 years or never even started.

simple healthy snacks

 

I love all the simple snack ideas over at Body and Soul. One of my favorites is the Banana, berry and buttermilk popsicles but they all sound delicious. The photography from this spread is gorgeous, particularly when viewed in the real-life magazine, which recently had a super lovely re-design.
