Things have changed a little in the last 2 or 3 years… the second picture was taken on a sunnier day but actually, regardless of that, the house feels lighter & brighter now. Thanks to inspiring ideas from the awesome Shannon Fricke and rolling up my sleeves and getting into the DIY!

Loving this alphabet bird print made with wooden letterpress blocks, found in the new shop on the block studiohuntingbears.  Artist is Stephen Caton.  Go check it out for more cool alphabet print ideas as well as some other lovely pieces!

One more advent inspiration photo from A Merry Mishap’s blog – cause, you know, she’s awesome and all.  :-)  This geometric shapes DIY is by her guest blogger Deborah (@apieceofcake82 on Instagram).

Would LOVE to see yours – please photo reply if you’d like to share!

BTW – there’s a honeycomb paper pompom/ball craze going on on Instagram. I think I may need to splurge on one or two!

I can’t believe it’s Dec 11 already, but better late than never, right?   Right?
