swoon:

April 18, 2011

Hi Friends! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I have to move the Good Cheer Deals to tomorrow.. So I thought I'd post swoon today instead and start our week off with some inspiration.

Sometimes I wonder how this world can be filled with such lovely pictures - where do all these amazing photos come from? You know what I mean? Inspiration is endless! What are you swooning over lately?

We often watch movies outside in the backyard during the summer and love it, but the last image takes it to a whole new level. I would LOVE to do it just like that.

That outdoor movie scene is to die for. We've tried something similar in our yard but its nowhere near that chic! I also pinned that same OnceWed floral arrangement. Gorgeous!!

cat said...

Michele Fischer said...

I absolutely love the outdoor movie room! I think I am going to have to plan an outdoor movie night this summer :)

steph said...

Nadia said...

HOLY MOLY! i am in love with that whole movie thing at the end that is so wicked.

Nat @ dear little house said...

Pretty tattoos. Go ahead and get one, it's not that bad!

ilene @ muchloveilly said...

im totally swooning over all of these - soooo pretty! even those tattoos - i could never get one 'cause i'm too scared of needles, but this photo is making me think twice.

i also am loving that tassle-belt!

Megan V said...

That outdoor movie scene is blowing my mind!!!! It would be the most amazing thing EVER EVER EVER. We'd have to do it at your house though. Too many bugs in Iowa in the summer. :D I'll be right over, K?

Brandi {not your average ordinary} said...

Oh, multiple swoons! The "love" tattoo is very much like what I'd want to do for my "moonshine" tattoo (if I ever work up the courage to get it done). And Danni, that last scene is pure heaven! I need a sweet farm so I can host regular outdoor movie nights like that for my friends. Happy Monday, darling!

MICHELLE said...

That cut out paper art is AMAZING. I really want to know who did that!

oh, hello friend. said...

@Brandi {not your average ordinary} Brandi, let's get some courage and go together! haha, I want one so bad but I'm scared and I think it would hurt ;) I think we should do a blogger friends summer movie social night or something!

@Megan V ohmigoodness, if you came to CA that would be AWESOME! We could do so many creative collaborations together! ;)

@lesley @Anonymous @beth c -- Thanks for the photo sources friends! We almost found them all! :)

oh, hello friend. said...

@cat thank YOU so much for stopping by our yard sale! We're going to do another real soon so hope you can come again friend!

sara said...

auxpaysdesmerveilles said...

That doily lamp is sublime! It reminds me of lamps we recently made, I suppose it's the same concept!

pocketwonders said...

OMG at the light-up castle on clouds. Just awesome.

henzy said...
