Work Weary Wednesday Wants

I am having a very frustrating week at work. It’s one of those weeks where I fantasize about walking into my boss’s office and simply quitting. On a happier note, and in order to keep my sanity, here are a number of beautiful things that make me forget about work for a few minutes:

1. Bridal Silver Bird – Plume Pretty 2. Antique Machinist Tool Chest 1940s – Tawney Vintage 3. Red Heart Buttons – Craft Embroidery UK 4. Little Red Umbrella Nursery Mobile – Shop Littles 5.  Retro Grey Black Metal Eskimo Oscillating Fan – Tawney Vintage

Random Wednesday Wants

There’s no rhyme or reason to the below wants. Just things I think are really pretty right now, or things that make me excited for autumn! Unfortunately we’re going through a mini-heat wave which is making it feel decidedly unautumn-ish. Luckily, the forecast for Friday is cool and grey, bring it on September!

1. Notebook A5 – Et Mamu 2. Dolly the Sheep Embroidered Wool Felt Necklace – Knit Knit 3. Three little bows – Be Something New 

4. Felt Leaf Brooch Harvest Trio – The Felt Boutique 5. Bike Fox Handwarmers – Warm Yourself 6. Antique Victorian Locket – My Booms

Wednesday Water Wants

I’m pretty sure not a single summer has passed that I haven’t swam in one of the Great Lakes. My sister and I have always been the crazy Canadian girls swimming in freezing water up north with foreign tourists staring in disbelief, the little girls being called in by lifeguards because we’d gone out way over our heads, we love the lakes. I think my happiest days have been spent getting knocked over by huge waves with my big sister. So for this Wednesday Wants entry, to commemorate the end of summer (hopefully!), I thought I would go with a lake theme:

1. Glimmer – Lupen Grainne 2. Sea Green Chalcedony – Form and Funktion 3. Smocked Up – Cricket Capers

4. How Strange It Is Banner Necklace – Rare Indeed 5. Wave Rider Cotton Tea Towel – Pickering Linen Co. 6. Seaglass Mermaid Tears from English Coast – North Sea Treasures 7. Schumacher Betwixt in Water Decorative Pillow – Pop O’ Color

Wednesday-ish Wedding Wants

Ok, so it’s Thursday, not Wednesday but I’ve been sick all week so be kind. I’ve decided I want a distinct 1920s feel to our wedding (not like a theme…just a feel). I also really want to wear saddle shoes. Hence the collection below:

1. Tan & White Saddle Pump - Metropolis Vintage 2. Cake Banner No. 2 - Ready Go Wedding Co. 3. 1920s Wedding Couple Photograph – Queenies Collectibles 4. Save the Date Sticker Set - Nice Package

Wednesday Wants

I’m dreadfully attached to all of these pieces right now, even the skirt which is too small for me (boo!). Unfortunately we have a wedding to save for so I can only buy maybe half of these, hehehe. Any suggestions for which ones I should pick?

1. Peter Pan Kisses Necklace - Annebien 2. Leaf Children in the Wind – Swan Bones Theater 3. Flying By Night – The Black Apple

4. Northern River – Tastes Orangey 5. The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou This Is An Adventure – Big Bad Robot 6. Life aquatic Pinback Button Set – Arthurs Plaid Pants 7. Striped 1970's Midi Skirt Blue and White – MPLS Vintage
