2.....

it's going to be so hard to choose just ONE of these adorable & AFFORDABLE purses made by Kinies.  i am loving this mustard color and that it is GIGANTIC {so that instead of carrying THREE bags around with me...it's quite possible that i could fit everything in this ONE! now THAT would be FUNCTIONAL...kinda like a necessity, right...looks like i am talking myself into purchasing this bag a.sap! :)}

check them out here on etsy.

3.....

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. these & the color!  women's dollhouse rosalee boot - camel - found on journeys site

4....

i've always wanted to get an old vintage typewriter...i think it would be super fun to have and the perfect compliment to all my other crafty supplies...and this one is TURQUOISE...my FAVORITE color!!!  unfortunately, it's no longer available but i am going to keep on searching!!
