Kate Spade's new home collection is here and I'm in LOVE with the illustrated Tidbit Plate set. Four gorgeous illustrated plates for only $50. That's a set of 12 for only $150. Great for tea parties or Sunday brunch with the girls...Happy Shopping Everyone!
If you're like me then you can't start the day without a big cup of coffee. To further feed my two favorite addictions (coffee and Kate Spade) I'm imploring my hubby through this post to "surprise" me with one of these coffee mugs by Kate Spade. I would love the Library Book Mug but they seem to be temporarily out of stock on the site. Guess he'll have to go the extra mile and pick one up at the nearest Macy's. ;)...Happy Shopping Everyone!
Cocktail party season is right around the corner and these Kate Spade Tidbit dishes are calling my name...Beacon shrimp anyone?
Fall and winter are the two best seasons to curl up with a good book. Kate Spade’s new short stories collection is giving you seven books to help you through the cold seasons. For these tales Kate Spade has commissioned seven female writers in collaboration with strand bookstore to create stories so each incorporate the phrase, "she is quick and curious and playful and strong" at some point in the story. I love this set because of the artfully designed cover of each short story. Not only do you get a good read but you also add a pop of color to your home. And for only $35 they would make a perfect holiday gift...Happy Shopping Everyone!
My obsession with the Kate Spade pink ampersand artwork has finally culminated into a DIY project. Before I get started on how to get this project started I must say that this is my first and last (as of now) art project. I must also let you know that there are a number of different ways to do this project and the way I chose to go about it might have been the most difficult. All that being said I hope you guys still try this project at home because the result is really beautiful and would bring such life to any space. In total this project cost less than $20. Let me know if you have any questions...Happy Crafting Everyone!
Step One: Pour sample paint into roller lite tiny touch up kit.
Step Two: Paint entire canvas and let it dry.
Step Three: While canvas is drying use exacto knife to cut out ampersand graphic.
Step Four: Once the canvas is dry and you have cut out your template use the painters tape to tape your template onto the canvas.
Step Five: Use the spray paint to cover the openings of the template. OR you can use a roller and roll on white paint. This method might be best because I had blow back from the spray paint that I had to later touch up as you will see in the following steps.
Step Six: Remove the template from the canvas and use your art brushes to make any touch ups needed because of blow back.
Step Seven: Once paint is dry, hang and enjoy.
I'm starting to see this pink ampersand artwork every where. First on the walls of Kate Spade New York and now I see it hanging on this fab baby blue chevron wall. I'm not sure where I can pick one up but I do think it would make a great DIY project. Maybe I'll try it out next weekend. I will keep you all posted. In the mean time if you know where one is available for purchase please let me know... Happy Crafting Everyone!
Do I have any UK readers out there? If I do, I have a mission for you. Please swing by the new Kate Spade pop-up shop in London before November 10th and take lots of pictures for me. Ever since they released the sketch of the store yesterday I've been obsessed. I mean is it really this fabulous in person? A girl just has to know. So if you can please help a sista out...Happy Shopping Everyone!
Happy Birthday to me and Shoebox Décor. Today Shoebox Décor turns 2 and I also turn 2… with a 9 at the end. To celebrate our birthdays we have talked about it and decided to launch our long awaited Facebook fan page. Yes I know we are a little late to the party, but Shoebox tells me that everyone is on Facebook so we should go and socialize.
Surprisingly I don’t have any real plans this weekend. Maybe I’ll go shopping…Happy Weekend Everyone!
I really really want the 2010 Kate Spade Canvas Personal Agenda. It’s so sleek and sophisticated and everything I want my planner to be. The red/pink one is totally calling my name. Thank goodness my birthday is in a month and four days. This is definitely going on the wish list with a big star next to it…Happy Shopping Everyone!
Over the weekend I worked on creating the Kate Spade Hopper Dot Rose Bowl that I love so much. It was a really fun project that the hubby and I did together. Surprisingly he enjoyed himself...I think he just liked the spray painting part. The bowls turned out beautifully and I hope you guys enjoy this project as much as we did. Total cost of project: 2 bowls/vase for $25...Happy Crafting!

Dots must be the new thing in the design world, which is fine with me because I'm loving it. One Kings Lane is having a Calvin Klein event and I'm in love with all the dotted glassware....Sale ends on the 4th so hurry up...This weekend I will be working on my own dotted project...Kate Spade is such great inspiration....Happy Weekend Everyone!
It's Monday and I feel tons better. I want to thank you all for your well wishes, they were greatly appreciated. Over the weekend I fell in love with this Hopper dot rose bowl from Kate Spade. At $75 the price is a bit too high for me so I'm on the hunt for a way to get what I want without breaking the piggy bank. I think some crafting might be needed....Happy Shopping Everyone!
