{shopping: vintage frame chalkboards}

. . . after discovering this beautiful vintage frame chalkboard in gosia's shop last year, have been rather obsessed with them and open gosia's weekly updates hoping to find another as lovely, until this morning, when this one appeared . . .

-- and was gone nearly immediately -- and so the search continues . . .

{chalkboard eggs}

A little late for Easter, but a fun idea any time of year, these wonderfully creative chalkboard eggs are the perfect place to leave sweet nothings . . .
