Knitting // This light and airy cap sleeve lattice top looks like a great summer knitting project!
Crochet // I love this crochet heart blanket so much. I have to keep telling myself that I don't have time to start another big project this summer...even though I really want to! ;)
Etsy // This embroidered vintage tennis player pillow is so perfect! Tennis is one of my favorite sports to watch (and play!), especially during the Olympics.
Style // This dress combined with such a dreamy flower-filled setting is my idea of the perfect summer day.
Art // This is the sweetest art print by Katie Daisy. It isn't summer without a famers market! I need to go again soon so I can make some peach jam or....
Another wonderful summer weekend is coming to an end. I might be ready for sweater weather again, but I can't help enjoying the colors and flavors of this oh-so-hot season.
I loved watching the opening ceremonies on Friday! What a spectacular show! The fact that so much of the ceremony was dedicated to literature made me extremely happy. On Saturday afternoon, I made another attempt at thrifting. I am such a newbie and I get a little frustrated at the lack of vintage finds in the Dallas area. However, when I thought all hope was lost, I stumbled upon my first piece of Pyrex. This find fueled my new Pyrex addiction. I can't wait to build up my collection! I think I will end this weekend with a swim, some family time, and get ready for the week ahead.
Enjoy the rest of your day! What did you do this weekend?
Just love the ♥blanket!!! And that pizza must be our magic way to kick start the every day, bye bye vacation. Thanks for the inspiration and have a great week
ReplyDeleteI love how well everything coordinates in this list :) I've also been eyeing that blanket pattern on Ravelry, but I have so many other projects that are in the works right now as well!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that lattice top, it's been on my queue for a while. I have been waiting to see someone do it in a darker contrasting yarns but I think I might have to end up being the first to actually do it. :)
ReplyDeleteOH YAY! I am so glad you are becoming a thrifter. I can't wait to see what you find. Please post pictures. Thrifting is one of my favorite things to do, and is such a and inexpensive hobby. Please post a picture of your Pyrex. I am actually have a give away with Pyrex if you are interested in popping over to my little blog.

ReplyDeleteSince I've moved to Dallas a few months ago, I found out that the real thrifty stuff are at estate sales in the downtown Dallas area! I've gone to a few already and found lots of vintage treasures. I use this website to find Dallas estate sales: 24-7estatesales.com It's super handy-dandy! :) Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the tips! :)
DeleteNo problem at all! I was in your exact shoes when I first moved here. There's still hope for us Dallas peeps! :)
DeleteI'm knitting that lattice top right now! I should be done soon, I made it in a yellow Madeline Tosh. It's a fast and fun knit!
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I'm just sure you will find the most amazing and cute stuff at your thrifting sprees. And I'd love to see them on your blog! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely making that pizza, by the way.
I wrote a piece on my blog a week or so back about how to find vintage, if you want it may be a good read for you! I sadly missed the Olympic opening ceremony because I was having a girls weekend with my mom and sister! I'm gonna have to go youtube it later!
