Over the weekend, I discovered Joie magazine while reading this article. It's a really cute online magazine that's dedicated to the art of joyful living.
{I'M FEELING SO INSPIRED.}
It's full of pretty art, fashion, & DIY crafts. {I found a tutorial on a beautiful, floral headband.} Go ahead & take a look. I'm sure you'll get inspired, too!
On Thursday, I mentioned that I'm working on some new projects for my Ebay & Etsy shops. Well, one of those new projects is discovering new ways to decorate my booth for the public markets, where I will be selling my goodies.
I found this booth inspiration on Katie Daisy & instantly fell in love. Now, all I need is a trailer for hauling a vintage dresser...
{P.S. I've created a new board on my Pinterest dedicated to my inspirational finds for Gypsy Dust Vintage. Feel free to take a peek.}
Oh, my. Isn't this the cutest video?? It's the perfect piece to compliment my mood, right now.
School starts on Monday & I'm getting my lesson plans ready. In addition to unpacking, cleaning, & other normal household chores, I'm also working on some new projects for my Ebay shop and my Etsy shop. Busy bee, I am.
Alas, my vacation was wonderful. I spent my days soaking up the warm, So. Cal. sun., thrifting, making jewelry, & creating more memories with my dear family. My mother-in-love shared with me a ton of beautiful new crafts & blogs. I plan to share them within the next few weeks!
Sadly, there are very little photos to share. On this trip, I realized I'm not much of a picture-taker. I think I took about 5 in total, and that was on our drive down to southern California! I guess with my new love for blogging that's going to have to change, huh??
Well, I'm off to put the dishes away. Have a beautiful day!
How about a quick hello, and a favorites list today? While you're busy perusing, I'll be getting ready for my ROAD TRIP! There's a ton of things that need be to done before I leave on Monday & I need to get started ASAP.
In the meantime, there will be one more post on Monday morning & then I will be back sometime next week. Hopefully, I will have some photos to share from my drive!
I first learned about Mori Girls {or Forest Girls} here. Ever since, I've been scouring blogs {like little forest girl & a child woman) and shops {like little mori & mooncat} to get the inside scoop on this beautiful union of all things whimsical, natural, and vintage. I'm completely enamored by this Japanese trend & am excited to begin incorporating it into my wardrobe as well.
Last summer, I learned how to make Apple Butter. It turned out delicious! This summer I received a steam canner for my birthday &, ever since, I've been perusing canning blogs (like this one & this one), collecting jam recipes (like this one & this one), & yearning to get out the canner. With the summer fruits tantalizing my taste buds, I hope to get a chance to do some canning soon!
I recently discovered the photography of Tim Walker while tumbling around on my Tumblr. I absolutely adore the environments he creates. It's like witnessing a modern-day fairy tale unfold before your eyes.
Is it true that he rarely uses Photoshop, too?? AMAZING!
I don't know what captures the spirit of a bohemian summer better than Ruche's Late Summer 2011 lookbook, Summer Resort. It looks so chic & flawlessly put together; it makes one forget all about the 112 degree weather in the Palm Springs' desert, right now.
Even with the heat, I'm inspired to do a similar photo shoot during my next visit to southern California...which is in about 7 days!
