Sweet Summer Finds

I recently found this purse and have used it every day since. How much do you love it? I really have no idea what they are called but these kinds of purses remind me of the multi-colored penny candy that comes on long strips that I used to get on family trips to Maine. I think I will be wearing it all summer! 

What about this sweet hunter green train case? I've been looking for suitcases to store things and just as a design element. I'm going to put all my supplies for my Etsy shop in this one! Find anything amazing lately? Thanks for stopping in! - Lo

Design Quick Fix

I recently decided to get rid of the drawers on the bottom of my dresser. This dresser houses everything from crafts to clothes to our TV...so let's just say we get to look at it a lot. I put a lot of effort into decorating the top but knew that the drawers beneath that sagged and were broken needed a new life. I took the drawers out and with the help of my boyfriend took a drawer bottom and nailed it to the bottom of the dresser. I bought 3 blue boxes to store clothing, which gives me twice the amount of storage I had before. I didn't want to just leave it bare so I bought this really cute birch tree fabric and made curtains by using velcro. The velcro is a really nice touch because I can just peel it off whenever I need to get something. This project probably took me an hour and cost around $20.
