    Brain air plant planter! YES! (PS If you need air plants, I still recommend this bunch of them. I bought in 2017 and they’re still kickin!)

    This dress is so fun!

    This pin!

    Oh! These shoes are CUTE! (Here’s another great pair of shoes in the same color!)

    YES!

    This bisected head! Hello! Also awesome – this ear model & “mr gross mouth” (omg!)

    Isn’t this stained glass suncatcher gorgeous?! It’s absolutely incredible to me that something like that can be handmade.

    Such a cute summer dress! Plus…POCKETS!

    I have a major couch crush! After my bright blue couch, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to have one that isn’t bold.

    Last year I fell in love with bodysuits. This year, I will wear more of them. Such a simple summer style! How cute would this mustard yellow one be with these polka dot shorts?!

    Link love…

    • Love the pattern on this sleep shirt!
    • I’ve been looking at getting a custom piece of jewelry to wear in honor of my mom. I want a ring and I was thinking of getting something like this one with her initals. My issue is I know how huge the internet is and have this feeling that as soon as I order I’ll find something cooler. So, do any of y’all have any recommendations? Even if it’s basically the same thing but just a seller you’ve personally bought from!
    • Skeleton notebook!
    • SadRosetta has a really fun vintage shop. If you enjoy baby dolls and other slightly creepy but somehow charming home goods, check it out! I’m way into this doll.
    • This romper is perfect.

    Last but not least, The Dainty Squid shop got a mini update today! There’s a handful of brand new food themed fabrics. Hard to choose a favorite but I really am fond of the hot dogs!

    xoxo

    Convincing others to beach comb with me! Took my sister-in-law ninety-eight years to finally get up here and now she wants to come every week! YES! All the tiny treasures from the lake. This plant, still! This weirdo. Yes, he absolutely got in there himself. Hitting the four leaf clover jackpot. Then finding a second …
