I am looking around for some new wreath ideas.

Wreath Ideas

This snake wreath is so creepy! Perfect for Halloween but I couldn't look at it all the time without freaking myself out.

I love this wreath {my friend Roeshel} made of vintage brooches. I've officially started collecting!

Denim Wrag Wreath
{I'd probably leave off the red things and attach a long hemp string.}

Dollhouse for Pearl

Dollhouse

I love this Dollhouse Shaped Bookcase from the Land of Nod!

At my request my mom {Mimi} bought this dollhouse at an antique market for Pearl's second birthday. I had a dollhouse as a little girl (in slight disrepair it is stored in the attic). I have all kinds of loving memories about playing with my dollhouse and I am excited for my daughter to have one of her own.

The dollhouse is in need of some TLC. I am looking forward to transforming it into something amazing for Pearl!

Dollhouse Furniture

My mom saved a lot of my toys from childhood, including most of my dollhouse furniture. I enjoyed getting the tiny pieces of furniture out of the attic.
