I used to love this time of year, back when we were living in Germany. Spring is creeping in, slowly thawing out the ground and giving way to little flowers ready to mark the end of winter. Here in Singapore, we don’t really get change like that with the seasons, and I miss it! Right now we’re just making the transition from hot, wet and humid, to just hot and humid (although apparently it’s not ready to give up the ‘wet’ part yet, as I type this I can hear the thunder rolling in!).
Anyway, none of this really has anything to do with this post except that if you’re in the northern hemisphere you’re probably getting ready to be spending long days outside, enjoying the sunshine and growing warmth. So here are 5 goodies under $10 that will get you ready to spend some time outdoors in your yard or on your balcony.
Please enjoy Spring for me! :)

Never have coasters been so pretty!
I stumbled across The Tilissimo a couple of days ago, and thought their decoupage ceramic coasters were really quite special. I love all the different patterns and colours, they’d certainly add a little bit of fun to a coffee table!
Which ones would you choose?
You can find all these and more over at The Tilissimo Etsy shop.
Have a lovely weekend everyone, I hope it’s a happy one! See you Monday :)
I thought with Easter only a week and a bit away, some bright, fun egg stickers could be a great way to get into the Easter spirit. And not just any egg stickers, but ones with letters on them, so you can spell out easter messages to your heart’s content! :)
All you have to do is click on the size you’d like below, and print them out on a sheet of white sticker paper. Then cut out the eggs you want to use, and get sticking!
Here are some ideas I had for what you could use them for:
What do you think? What will you do with them??
So, I have a confession to make… This time last week, I jumped on a plane for a rather last minute trip to Hong Kong. Surprise! I hope to share some more of the photos next week, but until then here are a couple from the ferry ride we did on the weekend.
Don’t forget to pop back tomorrow for a fun Easter printable! :)
Good morning! I hope you all had a nice weekend!
Do you remember my post a few weeks ago featuring Becca Stadtlander? Well, this is another one of her gorgeous prints, paired with some pretty funky wallpaper :)

I was watching So You Think You Can Dance the other day, and this song came up in the auditions (yes, we’re WAY behind!). It’s so beautiful.. I wish it was longer!
It’s called Shadow Bird, by Patrick Griffin.
Have a great weekend guys!
I love bunnies! Not just at Easter time either, all year round.. they’re just so darn cute!
Easter is a good excuse to get more of a bunny fix without looking obsessive though, so I thought why make a bounding group of buns for above my desk?
I had some extra embossing foil lying around, so decided that would be my material of choice – and boy do these bunnies shine! If you don’t have any foil though, you could easily make them from cardboard and just colour them in, piece of cake! Carrot cake in fact. Yes, I went there.
Ok, so here’s what you’ll need!
- Embossing foil (something like this. The metal I used was approx. 0.1mm thick)
- Bunny template (I’ve made one you can use: A4 and Letter)
- Sharp pointed tool (or large needle)
- Blunt pencil
- Scissors
- Strong thread
- Beads (optional)
- Foam sheet (optional)
- Sticky tape (optional)
Step 1.
Print out your template, and use it to cut out a bunch of bunnies.
Step 2.
Put something soft down on the tabletop, like a piece of craft foam. Take one of your metal bunnies and overlay the template again. Using your sharp tool, pierce through the two circles marked on the template. These will be where your string goes through. Do that for all the bunnies. Then, keeping the bunnies on the craft foam, take your blunt pencil (if it’s too sharp it might rip the metal) and indent lines and patterns into the bodies of your bunnies. Flatten them out again if they’ve bent a bit.
Step 3.
Once you’ve finished decorating your bunnies, all that’s left to do is thread them onto your string! Make sure that you always thread them in the same way – from front to back through the first hole, then from back to front though the second hole, so you’ll end up with a line of string running along the backs of each bunny. If you want, you can add a piece of sticky tape to the backs to hold them in place along the string.
Step 4.
String them up and admire your work! :)
It turns out that it’s quite a hard thing to photograph.. I’m not sure they’ve really done it justice! Oh well.. still cute :)
A little something I’ve been working on.. coming up next week! :)
