8 Things I’m Loving Right Now

The roundup of goodies below has made it into this latest edition of Things I’m Loving Right Now. Included today: a few recent purchases, a useful tool, and nature at its finest! (You can also check out my last round-up of things I love here.)

one.
Frocks.

The girls’ Easter dresses, made with the darling Olivia’s Dress pattern from Olabelhe, are, by far, my favorite dresses my mom has ever created! The Joel Dewberry fabric and all of the thoughtful embellishment touches combine to make two truly show-stopping garments.


two.
Blooms.

The first rose of the year always seems the loveliest of all to me. So much gorgeous potential represented by one little bloom!


three.
Thrift store finds.

Imagine my delight when my most recent trip to the thrift store led me to discover a collection of vintage-y dessert molds just like I have been wanting for ages. And see those lovely yellow tags? It was yellow day, which meant I got them at half off!!



four.
Something sweet.

My new little honey pot is filled to the brim with delicious local honey, and it makes such a bright, happy yellow statement on my kitchen counter.

five.
This little piggy…
Many of you have asked about the little ceramic pig pictured in the background of my recent tiered planter post. I found her at HomeGoods a month or so ago. One of my favorite purchases in a long while!
six.
House pretties.
This gorgeous rug from Urban Outfitters really wants to come live at my house. And at that price, its wish might just be granted!
seven.
Lightning quick!
A couple of projects I’ve been working on recently have required turning fabric tubes. This Quick-Turn Tool makes a typically tedious job an absolute breeze! I don’t know how I ever did without it.
eight.

Planning.

A box containing this fabric goodness should be arriving on my doorstep later this week! I can’t wait to show you what I have up my sleeve. :)
