So far, one of my favourite stores in Finland has got to be Tiger. I don't know quite how to describe it other than to say it's sort of like an upscale, cooler version of the dollar store. There're so many neat things, I usually have to wander around twice just to get a look at everything.

Probably one of the best things I've spotted was a basic spirograph. Since getting this mini one, I have not been able to put it down. The combination of patterns is endless and no matter what I do, the designs always turn out super pretty. I'm completely addicted!

Thankfully, we have gotten ourselves a scanner/printer, so I made some designs and scanned them in for a desktop wallpaper this month. I hope you like it!

friday fixations

{fantastic franks} Oh man, these house listings are killing me! Not only is the styling and photography fantastic, but they've also added gifs. For a real estate company, this is pretty killer (found here).

{what city should you live in?} This is a fun little quiz. I had to guesstimate on a couple of them -- I don't have a favourite Beyonce. But I got London, what did you get?

{craigslist mirrors} When I first heard about this, I was very much meh about it but now I can't look away. Some of these are surprisingly artistic! This is just one of my favourites.

{cereal tea} This idea makes me smile! Can you imagine getting a little box of CEREAL tea as a gift? I wish I would have thought of it first!

{chinese new year} I really like this song. And also happy year of the horse!

diys i didn't: valentine edition

Clockwise from left: Idle Husband loves bread, so it would totally make sense to print up some of these baguette bread bags; this scandinavian inspired wooden heart would fit right into any room; sweetheart charms add a little cuteness to your keys; I would keep these copper arrows on the wall year round; With a he-man flower holder, you CAN get your man flowers (not a diy, but you can fioy = figure it out yourself); this tassel knife valentine is just a good excuse to buy proper spreading knives (you don't know how awesome they are until you have one); the I lava you pop-up card's cheesiness is perfectly charming.

 Obviously, it's February which means only one thing (Valentine's day), so I thought I'd do something a little more romantic this month. (Although, I would use this one any time I'm in a pink mood.)

inspired by: budgies

We had to leave our little budgie in Canada, and we miss him terribly. So it's no wonder that lately I'm drawn to all things budgie or budgie-inspired. Clockwise from top left: teal polka dotted linen pouch, diy sugar scrub cubes, budgie iphone case, free printable modern valentine cards, SKEE wicker stool, budgie printed pillow, Finalyson duvet cover, bronze budgie head earrings, drop storage jar, edible green glitter
