Paper lanterns and pom poms (+ shop update)


Today I'm enjoying paper lanterns and pom poms clustered together as shown in these beautiful rooms and the colours are just lovely. I never thought I would be but I'm really into tangerine shades at the moment which is why I chose this tangerine coloured fabric to make a nice new Butterfly for my store.

And look! Flowers from plants in my garden that I haven't killed yet!!

Back to pom poms, I decorated with them for my son's baby shower and they are really simple to make. Instructions can be found here. I'm thinking of making a few to hang next time we have friends over for dinner just for something fun.

Hope your weekend was lovely and relaxing.

Oh, I actually love the combination of tangerine and strong pink - I think it's lovely! (And this from someone who tends to shy away from color, generally speaking.) Love the new addition to your shop...

I love pom poms, I have some permanently hanging in my living room. They just make me so happy! Everyone who visits always asks when I had the party. And I say, 'everyday is a party here!'. Love the new print too!

jane - hi! I'm not sure where to find the lanterns in the first image. They are beautiful aren't they?

I have purchased round lanterns from here before:

And I've made pom poms using these instructions before:

Have a look at this post to see how mine turned out.
