Some call them pins, others call them brooches. I call them cute. Especially the flower ones that seem to be soo popular right now. Here are a few I've been craving -- wouldn't they look great adorning a sweater, headband or bag?

Snow Day!
Being in Texas, we get strong summers and {relatively} mild winters. And while we usually just get a road full of ice, this year we've actually gotten quite a bit of the fluffy white stuff.
This morning I awoke to my backyard looking like this ...
Pretty, isn't it? Now all I need is a warm fire and a white chocolate mocha ...

Saintly Cupcakes
I just love cupcakes. So, I had to share these adorable Saints cucpakes my friend Britney made for the Superbowl.
Aren't they cute? :)

A Fresh Coat of Paint
Well, except for the guest bedrooms and bathrooms, the master bath, laundry room ... but, Rome wasn't built in a day. And I love that I continually have new projects to think about.
Hence my lingering in Home Depot for two hours after lunch today. Now that the walls have some color, I'm itching to switch out light fixtures. I've looked in Home Depot, Lowe's, several random catalogs and have recently been checking Overstock.com.
Any other ideas of where to find nice-yet-budget-friendly light fixtures?

Decorative Moss Topiary Ball
Last fall, I ooohed and ahhhed over some decorative moss-covered topiary balls made of twiggy vine at Potterybarn. They retailed for $20 - $30 {at the time}, so I figured I could make my own.
...then sponged on a little sap green paint for kicks.
I found some spanish moss in the closet from when I potted an indoor plant last year. I randomly glued on pieces with clear ribbon glue until I thought it was soo ugly it worked.
Since I was placing it on top of our rustic armoire in the living room, I wasn't too concerned with what it looked like up close. But, it does add that pop of green I was looking for -- and all for a bargain!

Wish List: Potterybarn
I always enjoy flipping through my Potterybarn catalog, but it wasn't until I was actually in the store did I fall in love with their various bird accessories. Maybe it was the lovely colors or the fact that I'm soo ready for spring -- either way, these pieces are much cuter in person!
I've also been working on a few {small} projects since I last posted forever ago, so stay tuned!

So Many Paint Colors, So Little Time
J and I have been trying to pick paint colors since we moved into our new home a year ago. Every. Wall. Is. White. Well, except for our bedroom and the half-bathroom downstairs, which I tackled over the summer.
But for the rest of the house? There's just soo many beautiful colors out there, it's almost overwhelming to choose. Hence the polka-dotted wall on our staircase. We're trying to pick a nice neutral for the walls / ceilings ... and I never realized there were soo many variations of beige and tan! I'm also thinking a blue for the office, and maybe something fun for the laundry room.
What are some of your favorite paint colors / brands?
