i have a thing for binder clips

I love this new packaging idea posted by The Willows.  Of course the corrugated paper and ticking fabric and the zig zac stitch and stamp is just lovely, but I think it's the binder clip that just makes it oh so perfect.

I took these earlier this week with the coolest app for the iphone: hipstamatic.  I am in love. I took the three on top on the way to and from throwing out the garbage.  The bottom three were from my lunch, the last one is my newest little love.  Makes a fairly ordinary day seem quite extraordinary.

savoring life

It doesn't get much better than a fresh crispy soft butter croissant.  I wanted these daily with my first pregnancy.  My cravings subsided a bit with my second. {photo via Paris Breakfasts}

My other pregnancy craving was root beer {photo found here}.  

Now, I suppose I indulged a bit too much having gained just over 50 pounds with each child - yikes!  But since having my second child and spent quite a bit of time sitting and nursing, I rediscovered blogland and all the wonderful people in it who inspire and share their thoughts and charming things they've found.  I've learned that we need to indulge in wonderful things (even if we gain 50 pounds with our kids) and navigate our day surrounded in loveliness.  It just makes for a much more enjoyable day.

Well, I've been inspired to start sharing delightful things that I adore and hope that it might inspire you.  This is croissants and root beer.

Enjoy!
