Friday Pins

Hi there!  I'm here with my pins from the week.  I found lots of inspiring interiors and pretty hairstyles this week that I'm hoping to try out.  Also, I have got my taste buds salivating over a few recipes.  I hope you enjoy these!

Pretty, light interior.  I love the white walls, lots of light, and wood floor.
Teal birdy.  I love this color right now.  (Sorry, but the link was missing)  :(
Kraft packages.  I love the kraft paper with black twine.
Pretty braids.  This is such a feminine, kind of maiden-y looking hairstyle.  I love it!
Bedroom.  I love the gallery wall behind the bed and the throw.
Pretty flower arrangement.  Those colors are so pretty together.
Dress.  Gray and yellow polkas.  I love it!
Rosemary Straw Potatoes.  These look soooo good.
Bunny socks.  These would look so cute on someone little!
Quick and easy hair.  Three teeny buns look like a cinch to throw up.  And they're cute, no?
Chocolate eclairs.  I wonder how difficult these would be to make.  Because I'm sure they wouldn't be hard to eat...unfortunately.  ;)
Washi tape frames.  A creative and cheap way to emphasize those pretty images.  I'm thinking about doing this in my studio.

Alrighty, well that wraps it up for this week!  Have an awesome weekend!  xo, Ella

Hi there!  I'm back today with the week's pins.  I have been super inspired this week and am ready to start off fresh.  I hope you are as inspired by these finds as I am!

1.  Black Raspberry Ice Cream.  With that picture and name, there's not much else to be said!
2.  Silk-Screened Paper.  I love that ornate design.  And I'm on a yellow kick.
3.  Some french desert.  Okay, yes, this has a name.  But doesn't that picture do it justice?
4.  A beautiful interior.  Dark floors, white walls, and artwork.  Yes, please!
5.  A little inspiration board.  Look at that!  It's a ruler that they've pinned stuff to.  Very proper for the sewer.
6.  Pear and Fennel Salad.  Oh my, this looks so good.  I'm going to try to eat more salad this year...
7.  Bluette Pendant.   Isn't this an awesome shade of blue?  Not green, but not completely blue.
8.  Quote.  What else is there to say?
9.  Organizing boxes.  Okay, these should get me to stay organized.
10.  Quote.  I'm almost there.  Except for school, that is.
11.  Portrait.  I love that black and white!  Sooo pretty.  I'm sorry I don't have a link for this... it was uploaded by user on Pinterest.
12.  Old chair, new fabrics.  I just think this is so inspiring to look at. 

Okay, 'hope you enjoyed all of those!  xo, Ella

Hi there!  So, I kinda forgot about Friday Pins the last few times, but we are back in business!  I had a very fun and colorful collage this week, and I'm excited to share what's been inspiring me. 

1.  This is a very inspiring interior I found.  I love the white walls and gray couch surrounded by pops of color.
2.  I love this shot of an ice cream cone.  It reminds me that beauty can be found ANYWHERE!
3.  This is a cool print.  I love fonts!
4.  Chalkboard blocks.  Such a neat idea!
5.  A very practical striped shirt.  I like stripes a lot.
6.  This is probably the prettiest watch I've ever seen.  That color is stunning with the gold.
7.  Those bookshelves are awesome.
8.  A very prettily wrapped package.  Those pompoms are to die for.
9.  Chalkboard paint on glass gets me every time.  It's awesome.
10.  A pretty fish print.  'Would be soooo cute in a kids' room.
11.  A pencil sharpener called Gepetto's pencil sharpener.  I love the quirkiness!
12.  Striped J. Crew sweater.  Hey, at least it's not black and white like the other three in my closet!  I have brilliant excuses for my stripes addiction, mind you!

Okay, well, I hope you enjoyed those pins!  Have a great night (Friday nights are. the. best.), and I'll see you later!  xo, Ella

2.  DIY involving polka dots.  What could be better than dots on a wall?
3.  Vintage tin.  I'm into polka dots if you couldn't tell.

5.  Gingerbread cakes.  Oooh, boy!  Definitely going to try these.
6.  A collection of pretty shaped mirrors.  I love the whimsical look.
7.  Lemon Blueberry Breakfast Bread.  I wouldn't mind this for breakfast!
8.  An inspiring studio.
9.  A pretty metal rack.  It's mint and it's pretty.  That's all that matters.
10.  Fawn Pillow.  I'm usually not totally big on deer, but this has got my heart.
11.  Pom pom scarf.  I wouldn't mind this 'round my neck!
12.  Beautiful black and white photo.

Hi there!  It's been such a rigorous week!  First, I learned this very interesting thing in Chemistry called Stoichiometry.  It was confusing until it clicked.  Now I even like it (heaven forbid)!  Thanksgiving was awesome as usual, and I'm resolved to be more thankful this coming year.

For this week's pins, there's a lot of floral and super feminine stuff in there.  That's unusual for me.  But anyway, I hope you enjoy this fit of girly-ness as I'm sure it won't last long. ;)

1.)  Pretty bed.  I love all those pretty layers and the white walls.  I like how there's an equal mix of solids and patterns.
2.)  When it is all finished, you will discover it was never random.  'Love that!
3.)  Christmas cookies!  I love that they're animals and nature things.
4.)  Pretty landscape.  Buttercups and water?  Ohh my.  I could live there.
5.)  Awesome skirt.  I like how there's a flowery skirt with roses.
6.)  Nice bag.  Leather bags always get me.
7.)  Blackberry thumbprint cookies.  Those look so good!
8.)  Herringbone skirt.  What could be better?  Only an orange purse with a jean shirt and black cardi.
9.)  Lovely roses. 
10.)  Pretty lace.  I like the stark, delicate lace against that bright orange.
11.)  Gorgeous garden.  I don't often use the word gorgeous.  But when I do, you know it's got to be good.
12.)  Cool-weather outfit.  I'm into sweaters right now.  Who's not?  They're even better with polka dots and a coral scarf.

Well, I hope you enjoyed those and I wish you a weekend as terrific as it can be!  xo, Ella

3.)  Cozy throws.  I love the textures of those throws.  They make me warm just looking at them.

Hi there!  Well, I recently joined Pinterest, and it was a great choice.  I love it!  It's such a fun and easy way to collect inspiration and things that you like into different categories. 

So I decided to do a weekly post about the pins I find and their links.  I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

1.)  Pumpkin Pie Bars.  I'm definitely going to have to try these this season.  I always look forward to fall's good flavors.
2.)  Pretty outfit.  I am loving mustard and navy this season, and what better thing to do with them than put them together?
3.)  Lemon Glazed Biscuits.  My infatuation with lemon continues even when it seems the season for it is over.
4.)  Hanging felt decor.  This is actually a kit and it would be so cute in a little girls' room.
5.)  Street style - chunky sweater.  I am really enjoying all the chunky oversized sweaters this season.  They definitely dominate my wishlist. 
6.)  Pretty book quote.  I am a bookaholic and this is such a pretty quote.
7.)  Gold sequin and leather pouch.  I absolutely love this pouch!  Isn't it beautiful?  Yes siree. 
8.)  Pretty words.  I have a board called Nice Words on Pinterest.  I am really liking the typography things that are popping up lately. 
9.)  Elbow patches!  Elbow patches just take a top from 'eh' to 'I want!'  Heart ones are the best.
10.)  Floral card.  Rifle Paper Co. always has me open-mouthed with their beautiful illustrations.  I'm definitely a sucker for floral stationary.
11.)  Beautiful interior.  I am totally obsessed with white interiors currently.  This space has wood floors and a beautiful amount of natural light.  Yes, please!  PS:  This link is in a different language.  Whoops!
12.)  Jewel image.  Pretty, minimal artwork. 

That wraps up this week's pins post.  Hopefully I can do this every week.  xo, Ella
