LINK LOVE / 9

Happy Friday!

Here are my favorite links of the week:

 

A fun book about decorating a rental home - I might have to get this!

Hypnotising wind map

Obama is on Pinterest!

Speaking of Pinterest, there's finally one for men.

Women spend how much time cleaning up after chores their man did badly? haha

Creepy 

The best worst idea ever!

Anyone job hunting? This site makes your resume stand out and look creative, but still professional.

Kate Winslet clearly gets better with age...are any of you watching Titanic in theaters again??

This camera seems pretty awesome.

When I was little I sooo wanted a princess-like canopy bed. I could've just made a fake one!

Also, in Jam + Toast news, we posted some brand new designs on our site today! You should check them out! :)

Have a great weekend!

I hope everyone had a great week! I'm sick today, so I'm writing this from the couch and drinking insane amounts of water. Hopefully resting up will make me feel better faster. Chester has been a good nurse/heating pad. :)

Here are my favorite links of the week:

Nifty scrapwood wallpaper.

Not really a favorite link, but an interesting one: some shockingly sexist vintage ads (it's nice to see how far we've come!)

I would so love to visit the Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana lived, and where Kate and William will be moving into next year (they're giving tours!)

I'm loving Ikea's outdoor collection.

We're one step closer to finding jeans that fit us right, ladies.

Presidential retreats. I've been to Monticello, and it's super pretty.

Who would have thought that stuff from the hardware store could be so fab?

Hey someone had the same idea that we had for a built-in desk!

I haven't worn a one-piece bathing suit since I was little, but J.Crew's selection might change that.

Not sure how I feel yet about ombre tights.

This made me laugh. (But I love me some Sperrys)

I also love me some Pinterest, but this site cracked me up. Seriously, some people go way too far with the DIYing.

If you're having a spring/summer wedding and want some bright colored dresses for your bridesmaids, I rounded up some cute ones over on the Jam + Toast blog.

Have a great weekend!

KITCHEN PRINTS

Here's an easy project to add a little color to your kitchen! 

Just pick a fruit, cut it in half, apply paint, and stamp it onto a canvas! You might have to touch it up a little bit with a brush, and I added little stems with a Sharpie, too. Overall this project only took about twenty minutes.

PS. Here's an awesome potato print artwork project with a similar technique!

How was your week? Mine was really good, and made me really excited about things to come with Jam + Toast. This week we had a meeting about making some exciting changes, and we are having a photoshoot this weekend for new designs we will be adding to our shop! I'm so excited to show you all.

I hope you are doing something fun this weekend too!

Here are my favorite links of the week:

This kid is my hero. Hilarious!

Have you seen GAP's new Styld.by lookbook? Love it all.

MAC's 90 year old model! Refreshing.

This wedding is awesome.

Cuteness overload!

I hope 24 isn't too old for a backpack

Alexa Chung is so stinkin cute.

This rooftop movie event looks like so much fun - Hello, vintage camper!

My future home might need a fun stripe of color on the outside - how cool!

Love this.

Maybe my bday gift card should go toward one of these  ...

and one of these. Decisions, decisions :)


 Have a great weekend!

COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME

As I mentioned yesterday, my family visited Nashville for the first time this past weekend. We had so much fun showing them our favorite locals spots, but we wanted them to also get to see the tourist attractions. One of the big stops we made was to the Country Music Hall of Fame. I really didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did! It was full of beautiful, rare antiques and awesome Hatch Show Prints. 

Here are some Instagram pictures I took while we were there:
