little monkey

hello! a heat wave is charging through new england and i'm doing my best to stay cool. i live in fear that my A/C will break and the bunny and i will melt like an ice cube in an oven. hope you're nice and cool wherever you are! and here's a little monkey to brighten your day :)

mini paper bags

"hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home." - jk rowling

i'm so thankful that jk rowling created the world of harry potter and shared it with everyone. it's amazing what a good book can do. i know it's not goodbye forever but i'm still sad that it's all coming to an end. no more books, no more movies.. sigh. i can't wait to see the deathly hallows part 2 but a part of me also wants to hold off on watching it so that i can make the excitement last as long as possible. a very teeny, tiny part mind you. the bigger part of me wishes i were catching the midnight showing surrounded by people dressed up in house scarves and ties :)

shop love: mochithings

an innocent search for instax mini photo albums lead me to mochithings. oh dear. i've been toying with the idea of getting myself a belated birthday present (i turned 28 last week! ah!) and this may have just pushed me over the edge.

pottermore!

j.k. rowling finally announced the launch of pottermore! while i'm a little disappointed because i was hoping for more information (this was such a tease!) i can't wait to see what j.k. rowling has in store for harry potter fans. everything she does is made with such care and detail that i know it's going to amazing. and i LOVED the paper cutting + book art featured in the video.

banana zucchini bread with chocolate chips and walnuts

i know, it almost sounds like too much but i LOVE this bread. it's not overly sweet so i can snack on it all day long. super moist with a little crunch from the nuts... <3 make a loaf for the weekend and i promise it'll make you happy. the recipe is by noshings and can be found here.

yarn spring cleaning

every once in awhile, i go through my yarn stash and reorganize everything. it's a good way to track of what i'm running low on and pull out the yarns that i probably will never use.

oh my... kind of messy.

all cleaned up! loose ends are all tucked in and everything is sorted. i feel much better.

tiny yarn balls. the smallest is about an inch wide :) even tiny yarn balls can have big dreams.

happy weekend!
