Crafts!

So I've been really crafty lately..


I've been making paper and felt crafts out of some stuff I had lying around..vintage reader's digests, buttons, vintage sheet music, yarn, etc.


I feel so Martha. I have to say I'm very proud of all of my endeavors and take it upon myself to show all my friends whenever they come over. (:







I had bought some Kraft paper a while back and didn't know what to do with it. I made some gift-wrapping kits that will soon be available on my brand new Etsy shop!




I learned how to make pom-poms at home (thanks Google!) and I used butcher's twine to make a rustic version. (:




These are some lovely paper bows I made out of vintage Reader's Digest condensed books. The buttons I managed to scrounge up from my grandma's old button box. xo




I made these remarkable* fabric flowers which i am going to glue to pin backs, hairpins and ring templates. (:

*My opinion.(:

Photos

These are just some photos I had lying around from various small trips I've taken and I've decided to share. 



A beautiful gorge I visited while in Quebec. The air smelled so nice.






The awe-inspiring Basilica de Sainte-Anne du Beaupre , en Quebec aussi.


The trees at the world-renowned Griffis Sculpture Park in Buffalo, NY

mmhmmm. . .

Have you ever seen someone and just thought, "WHY are they not a model?"


Nacho Figueras is pretty much that. He's a huge superstar polo player from Argentina, but yes, he models as well, for none other than Ralph Lauren Polo .


We're friends, I've decided. He seems like the kind of person you wouldn't need to ask to be friends with. 
Thank God. 





P.s. He was on the Oprah show and taught one of her correspondents how to play the game. Yum. 

We'll Miss You Coco

Tonight was Conan O'Brien's last show as the host of The Tonight Show. 

He's so great, and Tom Hanks and Will Ferrell were hilarious. Conan's so genuine and his hair is fantastic. 

Sad to see you go, Coco Christopher. xo



p.s. Conan's classic string dance. *(:
