I took a photography walk around a little lake near my house the other day. There was a beautiful sunset and it reflected off the water beautifully.

funny.

Hey everyone.

I just spent an hour and nine minutes on this little bloggio. Yep, you guessed it, The Daily Tay.

Man oh man, is this girl hilarious. After reading her blog for so long, I think her awesomeness has rubbed off on me. That's a good thing, right?

I am epically failing at being as funny and awesome as her.
Wait, was that funny?
Oh the irony...

Anyways, I can't get enough of it. She's so hysterical. Like, laugh-out-loud hysterical.

And she even wrote a hysterical book.

Best title ever!

Anyways, the reason I was on her blog was because someone tweeted about it and I remember thinking that it was really funny. I felt a little discouraged, because I've been trying to figure how to get a slideshow for my shop in html. I thought I had found it, and did a serious happy dance, only to find out it wasn't what I was looking for. And continued to search for hours and hours on Google.

I swear every time I go to the second page of google, I think of this.

So, the moral of this post is, when you're discouraged, go to a funny blog and read it for an hour and nine minutes. I promise you'll feel better.

PS-if you know how to make a slideshow, will you please contact me?

inspiration board.

I love InStyle magazine. One thing I really like about them is that they have pretty pictures. Making an inspiration board is something I've wanted to do for a while now, so I cut out pictures from InStyle and pinned them on a big magnet board from Ikea with magnets. Then I covered the edges of the board in washi tape :) Super easy, right?

You can pin up anything that inspires you. It could be a scrap of fabric, a piece of jewelry, a paint chip, etc.

Happy Sunday! xo Kate

japan.

Remember that one time I said my sister was going to Japan and I'd try to get myself some "authentic" washi tape?

I do. And well...

My sister was so kind and picked up some supplies at the Japanese dollar store... talk about best dollar store ever! She got me two rolls of washi tape, two rolls of fabric tape, gum, and paper strings (I've yet to find out what those are).

So, two morals to this post:

1. Japan is awesome

2. If you ever go, bring tons of money to stock up on washi tape

Happy Wednesday! xo. Kate
