A Lovely Lark

Friday Favorites

5.30.2014

Definitely on my bucket list (not the elopement part - it's too late for that! Just the picnic on a beautiful mountain/hill top a la The Sound of Music).

Such a sweet and simple birthday party.

I've been obsessed with her artwork for a long time, but now I'm also obsessed with her hair.

And definitely trying out this hair tutorial (as soon as I get a curling iron lol!)

On my wish list (although I so wish it was still available in the emerald green!)

In love with these adorable handmade dolls - every detail spot on is right down to the adorable little bear purse.

Dollhouse nerd alert - freaking out over this dollhouse. This would totally be my Barbie's dream house.

DIY play kitchen perfection.

The cutest kids' tee ever.

And the happiest print.

Happy happy Friday! xo, Lauren

Handmade Love - Woven Wall Hangings

5.29.2014

I've been loving the current trend of woven wall hangings a la Maryanne Moodie and - they can bring so much color, texture, and whimsy to a space! Here are a few of my favorite handmade offerings currently on Etsy. Some of them can be a bit pricey (understandably so considering that they take a ton of time, effort, and creativity), but if you search hard you can find some that are budget friendly (one of these is only $40! Can you guess which one?!) Or you could even go the route of some of my favorite bloggers like Rachel or Jen and create one yourself.

Here are a few shops that I've discovered on Etsy (whose work you can see above) if you're not feeling super creative today:

Jujujust
Hazel & Hunter
Wall and Woven
Maija Eliz
Jennifer Lesley Design
Jeannie Helzer
