Sunshine and Whimsy

I have a confession to make. It's a shameful one, and you may think less of me when I tell you this.

I am a soap addict.

There, I said it. Now you know the awful truth.

I can't stop myself! The scents, the shapes, the wonderful soapy goodness! It's too much for me, I can't control myself!!!

And since misery loves company, I've decided to corrupt all of you too. Just look at all this wonderful soap!

Honestly, I'm not sure if I should wash with this, or eat it! Baby Cinnamon Rolls from Soapotomus



Or how about a slice of Pomegranate Fig Bundt Cake with your bath from Soap Store?



These brightly coloured, flower shape soaps from Satin and Birch are a gorgeous addition to your bathroom decor. They're gorgeous and smell delicious too!



Seriously, I can't believe these are actually soap! These are art, pure and simple. Wonderful, fragrant, sudsy art.

I'm in love!!

I woke up today to a cloudy, dreary day. So, I decided to add a bit of sunshine and colour!

I adore (and just may be back to purchase) this Pink Butterfly Cotton Tea Towel from Murdock Design on Etsy. Not only do I adore butterflies, but this towel has all my favourite colours in it as well. It's like it was made just for me!




Boy, do I wish this was outside my window! A gorgeous print called Good Morning Sunshine by John W. Golden

Isn't this just the cutest thing you've ever seen?? Dotty the Wiener Dog has stolen my heart with her bright stripes and polka dotted ears.

There are days when I dream I lived in a different time. A quieter, romantic time. A era where men were gallant and women were elegant.

This shawl reminds me of that dream.
