Cool toys for big boys

Haven't been around much here, guess I lost it again somewhere between all of mine to do things... 

Don't hate me cause of that, please be gentile - I promised my self I would!

It's around 2 A.M. here. Wondering what do people in Japan do right now. Are they in hurry? Working? Chilling? Playing? Driving this cool car from picture below? 

Stay big in Japan,

I. 

3 different DIY projects

Feeling like you wanna do something yourself ?!?! Here are three options, from easy one to the ones that require some tools. 

 Making 3D decorations. So cute!

If you don't need your table anymore...

Multinational chairs!

One nice modern house

It's a common thing that you are more valued at you own neighborhood after you get credits from abroad. Don't know why is that, but I have one beautiful example of it. A house in town called Osijek (Croatia), a modern architecture that manage to stay warm, friendly, and have that domestic touch in the same time (which a lots of modern buildings don't have - just my opinion). I like it very much.
Hope you do to. Enjoy this photos from Freshome.com:

Pink (for Jasminka)

This one is for my girl Jasminka, but also for all the pink fans. I never were into pink color, but it works great with ivory, nude tones and grays so I must admit that lately I do get caught looking at fabrics and china in pink tones. And that's not all - I do like that woolly, soft, gentle, big volume pink things.  Just please, don't tell anybody ;)

J., get well soon!

Chain of flowers

People connect spring with flowers, but I think there's something special about autumn flowers and leafs. Perhaps'cause autumn colors are so uplifting. And then there's that view on a garden in autumn days... Such a beautiful picture.. So if you are also into that like I am, be kind and send me a photo or two... 

Love,

Iva

Hocus pokus

My last year's Halloween went bad (you have a blog post about it here "Hello Halloween"). And having 21 month old boy made me more playful so I want to make something cool for this year's H. And I found one very cool inspiration.

This is not a Tim Burton's movie; those are decorations made by Zdenko Bašić, an incredible author and illustrator whose work you can find here (or search for books Mjesečeve sjene, Sjeverozapadni vjetar - Tales of the wind). So every time I were passing by this little, lovely bookstore I stopped and watch the window for a few minutes.

So I think this is a good idea you can use to make your interpretation of Halloween decoration (if you're into that).

Let your imagination run wild!
