I’m excited to bring you today’s guest post, by Brittni of papernstitch, a fab site devoted to all things handmade! Look for a guest post by me on Brittni’s blog very soon!
It’s that time of year again: summer. July is one of the hottest months of the year in Florida, which is where I am writing from today, and with the temperatures still rising around here, it’s really put me in the mood for a dip in the pool. Now, considering I don’t actually have a pool, I thought I would “cool off” with some of my summer time favorites from around the web instead. This roundup up is all about color. So, let’s put a little pep in your step with handmade goodies from across the rainbow - neon oranges, bright reds, grass greens, and ocean blues….
1. Orange Faux Wood Grain Ceramic Planter by McCheek’s Mayhem: Bring the colorful outdoors inside with a few succulents housed in a planter from McCheek’s. Perfect as a centerpiece for your once bare dining room table.
2. Azure Fine Art Photograph by Irene Suchocki: Don’t have the budget to travel to the French Rivera this year? Me either. Luckily, Irene of isphotography is capturing the moments you and I dream of with her Azure print.
3. Bouquet Headband No. 2 by Pretty Good Things: Show the world how much you love the colors of summer with a cheerful headband filled with flowers.
4. Flower Print Pillow Sham by Small Talk: Rest up after a long day at the beach with a mod print pillow from illustrator Alyssa Nassner of Small Talk.
5. Hopscotch Placemats by Red Clay Home: Add a little color to your next meal without having to pile up the veggies with these lemon lime colored placemats.
6. Banded Bandit Dress by Sew Moe: Head out to the boardwalk with a comfy dress that will keep you cool.
7. Scandinavian Picknick Poster by Handz: And finally, what summer would be complete without a picnic? If it’s too hot to sit outdoors with a basket of food, maybe you’ll settle for this Scandinavian print instead.
What will you be doing during the warm summer months to keep it colorful (and cool)?
