As Easy as ABC

I'm a typo addict. Seriously, when I was a kindergartner, when mostly everyone learns to write the alphabet, I was trying my luck copying the exact arial typo they used in student's book. I'm really really frustrated why my "A" wouldn't look exactly the same as the "A" printed on the book. Silly, huh?

SO ... enough babbling. Here are the most awesome ABC's you'll ever know! found on SharesomeCandy.

And their names also stand for each letter! Andrea Kalfas.

And I want to apologize for the fifth and last matryoshka party kit, it will be up on Sunday instead of today. I'm guest blogging for the last party kit so be sure to find the kit elsewhere. It's a secret place. If you know before I tell you on this blog you're super cool! HAHA!

Have a nice week everyone!

Ahoy Summer

Hello, everyone! Back from early summer holiday (more of the topic soon), I can't help but thinking about nautical themes on everything! I feel the urge to immediately share the inspiration with you! Just think Donald Duck in St. Tropez! Sands between your toes and cold wind playing with your bed hair. Aquamarine sea under the sun. swoon.

Why should Pumpkins have all the fun?

All vegetables in your kitchen would feel a little sad and wee jealous when Halloween week's coming. Everyone seems to like Pumpkin more this season, picking a special one at Mr. Bones, hugging him home, carving him till late at night, children laughing at sight.. Sigh. What's an eggplant to you?

They even have the concrete lover picnic boxes too, just in case you can't spot a field of grass near you.


Enjoy your weekend.

Pants for Parents

I was thinking of how cute the idea of this (which I found via swissmiss), when I suddenly think of this possibility.


With Baby G's fondness of things, I change my mind about the pants. *shudder*

Have you heard of..

..of Rice? Well, it's a shop and since the webpage left me speechless, I'll just share with you some pictures and let them do all the talking. You'll get it.

Oh...Bags!

Bags. Something you stroll along with, maybe in your hand, on your shoulder, across your body, or even on your back, to store your belongings that you can't just leave at home. That's my definition, you must not take it too seriously. Bags are definitely much more than I had stated there. They are luxurious, one of a kind, must haves in fashion world known as " designer handbags". Hunted and copied all over the world. Geez. Not all fashion items receive the similar treatment, I think. And since I was born to the lesser part of fashion caste, I love the idea of making your own designer handbags. Such as ..



the notorious printable Kelly...

and this Chanel. Aaah, bless the person who made this. (found via SourCherry)

And speaking of bags, these are the ones I'm currently obsessing about. swoon.

from Paper Plane. Bless the designer.

Air Mail, Snail Mail.

(no offense to all email lovers and Twitter savvy divas and dudes out there, I love technology too, heck, I can't breath properly if I haven't checked everyone's status update, but don't you love simple and slow white, red and blue?)

Present&Correct airmail letter set found through Oh Joy.

My Ten Things....

I procrastinate.

I am a skeptic. (bah, who says that?)

I think Johnny Depp is the most handsome (does anyone still use this word? All I read now is "hot" and "sexy" nowadays) man on earth.

I think Tim Burton is far from handsome, but his works are.

I love food and everything about it, including eating it.

I am really really bad at social games/sport, like on the pool table, karaoke, bowling, poker, etc.

handmade daisy headband by Mandizzle.

I love putting something pretty upon my head.

I can't bend my thumb backward and I'm sure you're all bending your thumb backward just now.

I love playing the piano, but not very good at it.

I am addicted to video games, but not playing any recently, because my husband won't let any device into my home. (even the computer is video game free)

Things ...

...which are beautiful beyond words, I'd rather stop typing and share them with you.

Soooo...

..Aqua! The color of the ocean and a bright sunny sky. My Etsy favorites sporting the color..

You really are a deer!

Yes, you, tastysuite!! Say hello to my "deer"-est friend, tastysuite, the decals extraordinaire. You might notice that I had previously featured one of her vinyl decal sticker. Guess what? She sent me the exact deer to my home!! Yaaaaay, thank you tastysuite!

A bright Hello that took my breath away...

...well hello, my deer (stop, not funny anymore)!!

As seen in her product pic, I guess the deer look mighty nice on ash/silver laptop surface.. I don't have one, really, but my brother (yes, the one who just recovered from dengue fever) bought a laptop recently, and I think I'm giving the deer to him. Rejoice, mr. New Laptop.

Don't forget to check all of her decals on her shop. All are very unique and one of kind (she accepts custom order, just pick a design and choose your desired colors, and I mean LOTS of colors, not just black, white, and red, you can pick from a total 18 colors.). Don't worry about the DIY you'll be facing, mine too come with a clear step by step instruction sheet. Don't worry about your surface either, they're removable and kind to any smooth surface (you heard me, mr. Laptop, it's going to be you this time, lucky you!). Remember that vinyl is waterproof, so do I hear bathroom walls, anyone? (Sadly, mr. Laptop is not waterproof himself)

Here are some of my favorites from the shop:

I'm a sucker for alphabet, so this would be the top of my list. And picking up an accent color on your initial? Too clever!!

Though seems very creative and out of the box, this one shouldn't be worn with a scissors-happy toddler in the house. He might run his favorite tool on your favorite furniture,... mmm... not good. Otherwise, this is a very witty idea.

Like to have your own wall in the house? Why don't you barcode it?

Style up with this lamp, no space on the table needed, and once again, alphabet on its best.
