Lemonade anyone?

What a sweet idea! The weather has been so hot so why not have a lemonade stand? I was driving home and seen these two young girls selling lemonade and cookies. I had to make a U-turn and buy some. You should of seen the excitement when they received the money plus a tip.

Thats what inspired me to look around for some lemonade stand goodies and I found some! Tip Junkie has some really cute printables to help you get started on your lemonade stand. I also found another great set of printables over at One Charming Party. Take a look, print some out, have a cup of lemonade! 

Just incase you missed the great printables, here they are:

Ode to vintage books

I'm starting to have a real connection to vintage items, particularly books. The way they look, smell feel and just the overall way they remind me of the good old days before all this technology, and that sitting on the couch wrapped up in a good old book will do for the night.

Look here for more inspiring pictures of vintage books.

Five Fact Friday

I thought this would be a great idea for my readers and future readers to get to know me a little better each week. So here it goes:

1) This is one of my most favorite pictures of myself.
2) I ate everything with a fork up until a couple of years ago.
3) I can't stand owls. They freak me out and they are truely the creature of the underworld.
4) If you can't find me, I'm probably in a bookstore.
5) I would pay someone just to clean and fold my laundry every week.

I believe in pink

I have pink on my mind recently. I'm not sure why but I like it! Its so inspiring that this one color can fit into everyday life such as: home goods, clothing, and of course beauty.

So here is a little something to add a dash of pink to your life today. Hope it makes you smile.

Excited about my new camera

I couldn't wait any longer. I had to buy the Canon Rebel after my friend let me borrow hers. I bought it a few days ago and been practicing using it. Among the many pictures I took to test out the features, here is a photo oh my daughter that I just had to share.

I had the camera on a setting where I can take photos of moving objects, and depending on the f-stop and some other things, the picture would be still or appear slightly in motion. I told her to run around and got a chance to capture this beautiful photo of her.
