It Gives You Wings

I fell in love with these cups when I saw them in the tour of the home of Jeanne Chan of Shop Sweet Things on Glitter Guide a few months ago. At first a search brought nothing up but when I tried a few months later I was able to find them.  Turns out they are called Angel Time Mugs and are by Pylones.  I found them at Amazon but the availability seems to come and go.  They come in six colors (red and black not pictured) and while I had intended to only get the four above I accidentally ended up with a red one as well so now I'm think I might need to just get the black one too to have a complete set.   The wings are rubber and the cup is porcelain. I had planned to display them but I've been breaking glasses and dishes left and right and so they are currently still in their boxes in low lying cabinet that is hardly ever opened (at around $28 each I don't want to have to replace them any time soon). 

Neon in the Home

I love a little bright here and there my home.  I fell in love with the letters from Twisted Twig a few months ago.  I had a custom LOVE set made for my own home in gold and pink and they are displayed on my bookshelves at home.  The cushion covers are great together or just one to brighten up a space (at $48 each you might have to pick one or two).  The salad servers from Leif are part of a larger collection that includes teaspoons, jam spreaders, cake knives, tart servers and sugar tongs.  I have a few different pieces and they are so far really good quality and have held up really well (the glitter spoons are adorable but usually set out really quickly).  And while I may not be able to have a neon sign put in any time soon I found a few brightly colored lights.  And if you really aren't sure if you will like something this bright the tea towel is fairly tame (and it's from France).

Under $20: Turquoise Party Supplies

I love a good party supply.  I like to have party supplies on hand at any time - just in case - and Shop Sweet Lulu has some of the cutest supplies around.  You can get a lot of supplies in different colors but the turquoise is so fresh for summer.  And the best part is that these are all under $20.  There are some pricier items at the site (my favorite being the pink porcelain cake stand) but most are pretty reasonably priced.  And there are a few surprises as well - who doesn't remember these. 

Good as Gold

I have had this little beauty on my wish list for some time and today it arrived when I got back from my morning walk - I never get packages before I leave for work! Can't wait to try it out.

Living Room Makeover

I have been planning my living room for a few years now. I've been buying pieces here and there and now all I have left to buy is the couch and the chair. The only problem is I keep changing my mind about the couch - I know I want a grey couch but the actual choice keeps changing. But I think I need to make a decision by the end of the summer or I may never bite the bullet.

Happy Independence Day

Hope everyone has a great Independence Day.  It is one of my favorite holidays - there are fireworks, crazy outfits, parades, dogs in costumes, potato salad and the beach!  And a day off to boot.

Under $10: Unicorn Cocktail Picks

A few weeks ago my sister posted an Instagram photo of her drink with a unicorn cocktail pick.  I decided I needed those for my collection of bar cart accessories.  But after a few searches and checking my favorite sites I had just about given up.  I came across a unicorn bottle opener after about an hour and there was a link for Unicorn Corn Holders which were of course the cocktail picks disguised as corn holders.  A set of eight costs only about $7.50 (there are actually eight in this package and not four - I didn't realize and ended up with sixteen) so they won't break the bank.

The Unicorn Corn Holders by Gama Go can also be used as cocktail picks!

Getting ready for happy hour.
