How I Spent My Monday

This could probably be a reoccurring post since I don't work on Mondays and I usually spend the whole day enjoying myself.
Lately I've been really hating our "headboard" I love DIY projects and I liked the concept of our headboard I just didn't like the way it looked.
Need a reminder?

I had been thinking about finding some old windows to use as a headboard so I headed to my favorite local thrift/consignment/vintage shop and this is what I ended up with.

What do you think? Jus has requested a garland to hang on the windows so I'll be working on one.
While I was at the store I found this original scratchboard of a promethea moth. It is signed "Philip A. Reddel 1/19/72" and I really love this little beaut.

After my thrifiting adventure I went to Target and was beyond happy to see that they were thinking along the same lines as I have been and were stocking $1 pinwheels!

Wouldn't a bouquet of pinwheels be awesome for a bright, summer wedding?!

I was also totally smitten with all of the gorgeous Liberty of London line at Target, have you checked it out yet?
I kept loading Liberty of London things in my cart and then taking them out when I found something else I loved. Here are the three things I got, but I might be heading back later in the week to pick up the things I passed by.

I also got Edie a little treat, she was feeling a little naked at our party Saturday so I got her this adorable little dress.


Yes, we I dress Edie up, but in my defense she actually likes wearing clothes.


Do you ever spend a day splurging on fun goodies?

PS Don't forget to sign up/pass the word along for the Brown Paper Packages exchange! I'm so excited!!!

Love the headboard, that's a great idea! Also, envious of the moth print. Nice find.
I may mimic your pinwheel bouquet, since my kitties will not allow real plants in the house.
