Owl Things Considered

I tend to love bird statement necklaces that show off a lot of wing. I think it looks cool and makes for an interesting shape that is incredibly eye catching. Especially so, of course, when they are owls carrying Hogwarts letters...

These cool laser cut necklaces can be found at RichardsonRichardson on Etsy. They have a few owls; one with letter, and a couple without. Some are made from plastic, and others from actual wood. And a few different sizes too.

There are plenty more witty items in the shop, as well as some Halloween designs. So follow this link to see more.

Mood & Music Mosaic #14

Better Man - Leon Bridges

cardigan - notebook set - tea - watercolors - scented candle

Fall is here! Though I love the warmth of summer and am sad to see it go, I also adore the coziness Fall brings. It is perfect for creating your own bubble of music, tea and something creative. And I discovered Leon Bridges just in time!

What are you looking forward to about Fall?

Sanrio Strawberry Chocolate

Quite a while ago I placed a fun order at Blippo. I originally came for something else, but -having really enjoyed Japanese strawberry chocolate before- I also ended up adding two little boxes of Sanrio chocolates to my cart.

The packaging was already adorable, but the real magic happened inside… All the chocolates were shaped like Sanrio characters (even my favorite: Pom Pom Purin!) or the Milky girl! And luckily they hadn't melted on the way over here.

From what I recall from eating Meiji's famous strawberry chocolates a few years prior, I think they compare pretty well. A tiny bit less tasty maybe. Or maybe it was just bittersweet munching on those adorable little faces, haha!

Plans & Goals: September

Just when I'd almost given up on a proper summer, the sun decided to come out again. And I hear it should stick for most of September! So that gives me some extra time to do the summery things I hadn't gotten to yet. I really hope to:

• Visit my favorite street of the city.
• Get together with some friends before my hibernation starts.
• Wear a fifties dress.
• Go see Kubo and the Two Strings at the cinema.
• Send out some fun mail.
• Read outdoors.
• Get creative with some new craft supplies.
• Start a new type of journal.
• And enjoy the last of the summer fruit.

What do you still hope to squeeze into your summer? And how has it been so far?
