Mail Should Look Like This

 

Oh Pink Sparkle Fun. How I've missed you. I've been waiting for inspiration to strike, of just the right sort. Things have been rather lackluster in the Land of Pink. Until now.

I found Ishtar Olivera's FABULOUS site. I just can't rave enough. Look at these parcels! Look at the envelopes! Look at the attention to darling details! You can see more on her Snail Mail Party post.

I will only send letters that look like this now. Can you imagine how receiving a letter so charmingly embellished would brighten someone's day? I want to mail a similar kind of letter to my daughter. She'd be so utterly delighted.

Pink Neon Stickers

I want to get some of these PINK NEON STAR STICKERS from Ferm Living and go to town in my daughter's room. Or my room. Or any room!

Pink Washi Tape!

LOVE this washi tape set from Paper Source! This would be sooooooo cute to have on hand for Valentine's Day!

Flower Power

A dazzle punch of floral bright to start your week off cheery and light!  (yeah, I rhymed.)

Party Birds

I saw this Party Birds print over at Creature Comforts the other day, and what do I think....how should I put this....I AM PRETTY SURE MY LIFE WILL NOT BE COMPLETE UNTIL THIS IS IN MY HOUSE.

You can find this darling print over at Les Zigouis.

Sweet Shop Lip Gloss

SO CUTE! A set of 4 cupcake shaped lipglosses! I want them. And maybe I want to eat them.

Honey Bunny Bedding

Just saw this new bedding from Land of Nod! Can't decide which I love more, the Honey Bunny shams and quilt, or the Honey Bunny sheet set. Is this not the cutest?

Brave

The following is Julia's review of the movie 'Brave':

"I liked this movie because it was a girl who was BRAVE and Scottish and, and brave, wow."

If that doesn't sell the movie for you, I don't what would!

A Little Snow Fairy Sugar

Watch. And marvel. At THE XTREME CUTE! At the PINK HAIR! At the SUGAR BABY LOVE! (it's in the song).

Your mind is blown away, far far away, right? 

You can read more about 'A Little Snow Fairy Sugar' here.

Pink Bunny Baby

Julia INSISTED that I put this picture on Pink Sparkle Fun. Now that I think of it, all she saw was the baby in the bunny suit and not the caption underneath. But really, this is pretty darn hilarious and cute and hilarious.

(I cannot find the original source! If someone knows, I'd love to be able to credit properly. I found it on this Tumblr.)

Darlybird Mini Totes

These mini totes from Darlybird are just about the cutest things I've ever seen! Darlybird's tagline is "for the love of darling". Ridiculously adorable! I couldn't decide which one to show you so I showed all of them.

From top to bottom:

1) Join Us Mini Tote, $10

2) Yum Mini Tote, $10.

3) Flora Mini Tote, $10.

4) I Heart Lunch Tote, $10.

OH THE CUTENESS!!!! 

Prettyrific Room

I saw this room yesterday over at Bleubird Vintage. The original images and whole house tour can be seen at The Selby. Made me stop in my tracks.

A little bit of pink, a little bit of sparkle, and A WHOLE LOT OF FUN.

It's Little Girl Heaven!

A Pretty Pink Balcony

A buddy of mine pinned this picture from Apartment Therapy on Pinterest, isn't it charming? Look closely at the cup on the table. It's a MOOMIN cup! (You can read about my Moomin love here.) And you can find the cup here.

I want to be sitting at that table! Drinking from a Moomin cup!

A Pale Pink Room

So serene. The bed! We have a sleigh bed somewhat similar (the sides don't go up quite as high) and it's in our guest room. I'd love to move it someday into Julia's room. This picture made me feel very, very happy....
You can see the whole feature on this home and family over at The Glow.

Pink Sparkle Fun

Some dear friends of ours gave Julia the most wonderful birthday present last month. They literally sent a box of pink, sparkle, fun. The box itself was wrapped ON THE INSIDE with glittery wrapping paper and there were faux jewels just bouncing around among the gifts, which included this pink glitter purse and skinny pink glitter belt. 

To say she LOVED these presents would be a huge understatement. She has worn the belt and the purse everywhere she goes! She puts them on as soon as she gets home from school. She takes them to Grandma's house. She wears them to playdates.

Proof positive: PINK SPARKLE FUN is where it's at.

Washi Tape

I am so in love with washi tape, the pretty Japanese decorating tapes that make EVERYTHING LOOK GOOD.....

1) Teddy Bear & Cupcake Deco Tape. 2) Cute Deco Tape. 3) Cath Kidston Masking Tape. 4) Purple Washi Masking Tape Colorful Spots. 5) Japanese Washi Masking Tape, Pink Flowers Floral. 

Go forth and tape, my lovelies!

Pink Office Supplies

I want ALL of these. Just right for Spring, yes?

Be Sparkly!

This cute and inspirational artwork was created by a favorite blogger of mine, Nicole from Sketch 42. She's an AMAZING artist and her design blog is cooler than cool. Nicole made this art for her daughter and I hope she sells it in her Etsy shop soon, because I would snap this baby up in a heartbeat.

And then there's this one from Brave Girls Club.com:

 

Also, I recently saw this nugget of awesome on Pinterest via http://goodthingsarewildandfree.tumblr.com/ . Oh how true this is!

 

Be sparkly! Be pink!!

Pink Rainbow Sugar

I think colored sugar like this would elevate....EVERYTHING...into the realm of super special. You know I'm right. I'm gonna do this project with Julia and I don't think it will be a hard sell: "Hey Julia, want to mix some colored sugar together?" Better yet, I could call it "FAIRY SUGAR" and I think she might run me over trying to get to it!

The tutorial on how to make this pretty pink goodness can be found on the GORGEOUS blog, Stonegable. I want to make pretty much everything on the site. Beautiful photography and inspired recipes!

Origami Lantern Tree

Julia and I made this spring cherry blossom mini-lantern tree last week. Want to know how much I love it? SOOOOOOOOO MUCH! When Julia came downstairs the next day after I had added even more lanterns, she said "Oh it's so pretty Mom!" More of the actual creating process is described over at Julia's Bookbag.

I think it's the perfect way to usher in the new season, and it cheers me no end to gaze at it, especially since the weather is not very springy right now. We used origami paper to make the lanterns and tissue paper to make the cherry blossoms, which we just stuck on with tape. The lanterns are so easy to make; you can find my tutorial about making lanterns here.
