threading paper.




Oh no.  I haven't been without the delightful this summer, I've almost just had so much of it that my head is spinning: four weeks of swim lessons, camping on the coast, a birthday, school shopping, furniture deliveries and a big family reunion coming at us quickly.  (And I can't help but take any spare time to Pinterest instead.)




But this- threading paper on a string- stands simple but colorful and clever.  That's what I'm attracted to most this month.

knock knock kids




I love & use knock knock pads and was very excited to see this at our local bookstore this morning.  "Sheds new light on the phrase 'use your words,'" which will likely come in very handy in our home of kids who think and feel deeply.  For all future listers!

sexy beast card.

(scanned image by me)

Today I walked into a local stationary store and found this cheeky line of cards from the UK, who I vote has the best sense of humor.  I left with the above card.  My scanning does it an injustice, but it's large, thick, recycled, and very man-appropriate.  For only $3.50.  That's hard to find.  

Other favorites:
Keep an eye out or order in their online shop.

one favorite family photograph by Justin Hackworth

I love sending & receiving Christmas cards and am excited that twenty-ten will bring back a Burgoyne family greeting.  This year, coming from The Bay area.

minted: photo calendars




I've made & gifted photo calendars before and believe that they can make such a thoughtful gift (sometimes tricky to avoid the tacky).  But these? Easily my favorite I've ever seen and definitely on my to give & to get list this year.

I collect shopping lists: a display of found + illustrated lists with names.  If this were a book, I would buy it! (I'm a devout lister.  It's my therapy..)  Really brilliant, Debbie.

just some weekend thoughts:

Since Delightful serves as my 'inspiration journal', I typically save my thoughts (+ personal) for the family blog.  The kind that probably only interest my family and the friends that like me enough.

But when it's 9pm on a Friday and we just had one of those really long winter days, the husband isn't home and the kids are finally sleeping, I'm left with these randoms:



I would love this on my new inspiration board.  Not because it's the kind of print I would typically buy (although I really like it. It's peculiar..), but because I want my marriage to fit the "I adore you" declaration.  

"The term “Je t’adore” (I adore you) has a stronger meaning in French than the English “I love you”. I like the idea that there’s something you can say that represents that rare depth of feeling, affection, respect and admiration."



I didn't do anything creative this week.  That always seems to feel like failure.  But these?  They're the perfect fit.  What a clever, friendly gift.  And how about pulling out some of these votive holders next time there's a blackout!  




I know I'm so behind, but add this to my wish list: a sewing machine.  I know we would get along perfectly.  Stefaniexu has some really great fabrics for less.  






I was just saying that I need some more adult appropriate wrapping paper on hand.  This new eco-friendly paper shop debuted with perfect timing.

Do you twitter?  I only kind of do with a handful of followers.  But maybe this will motivate me.

Just found Story-Of.  It's beautiful!




I'm really interested to try some of these recipes by {frolic!}'s foodie sister, Elizabeth.  


[can't remember where I first saw Choka??]

I'm really tempted to find and go somewhere warm and dry.  (Thoughts?) Turns out, I'm headed to the cold + snow (Utah) on Wednesday and I'm still really excited.

p.s.  One of the first things I remember learning about my husband Brad is his mini VW Bus collection and his love for Woody Wagoneers.  


Have a happy weekend!
