Lovely Dollhouses and Pretty Birds

Nicole from Making It Lovely blew my mind last week with her amazing DIY dollhouse. Have you seen it yet? My goodness, it's amazing and I adore how it suits her personal style so perfectly. You don't want to miss the full project, so click here to see the entire thing and learn more about why she made it in the first place. Very sweet and inspiring in all of it's pinkness!

Another sweet thing that I found that Nicole also pointed us to recently are these winter bird tags below - you can find them in full size along with others on the blog of artist Rebecca Kallem so make sure you visit Rebecca's blog to download them for free to pop on your presents!

Again, you will find the birdies above in a larger size on Rebecca's blog (here) so you can print them out in color, cut around them, use a hole punch through the little circle drawn on each tag and then tie some ribbon, baker's twine or a 3/4 - 1" wide strip of torn or neatly cut fabric through them and you have something pretty to top your gifts that didn't cost you a single dime. Tweet! Tweet!

Nicole you are such an inspiration and Rebecca, you too!
