I have to confess I completely forgot about this great idea I had for a a recurring post called Want, Need, Wear, Make, Eat. It’s a riff on the idea that children’s Christmas lists should be four things, Something You Want, Something You Need, Something to Wear and Something to Read. Except I switched Read with Make (as in a craft) and I added Eat in randomly. Because, you know, food. Deliciousness. So without further ado…
Something I Want
If you’re not familiar with The Grommet, it’s a really fun site that allows start up makers sell their goods. I love the necklaces pictured above from Annie Howes. You don’t actually buy a necklace, you but a kit to make your own. And the kit makes 6 pendants! This would be a great girls night craft. How fun is that? Totally unique handmade with a fool proof kit. I’m sold.
Something I Need
So, I dropped my cell phone and smashed it the other day which means I really need a new case for my new phone that is coming tomorrow! I know, technically, I should be bummed that I broke my phone and had to spend money to buy a new one. Of course, I am. But, I’m also secretly happy because the camera on my old phone was horrible. I’m getting a refurbished phone, the Sony Experia. I’ve had this phone before and the camera is excellent and that is what is most important to me in a cell phone. The second most important thing to me in a cell phone is the price and the one I’m getting from newegg.com was only $149. Maybe someday I will not think it is insane to spend many hundreds of dollars on a phone, but today is not that day.
Something to Wear
I’m obsessed with this outfit (and every other outfit) on White Coat Wardrobe. PS, her Instagram is pictures of what she wears everyday. It’s so awesome.
Something to Make
I really love these DIY Watercolor paintings from Burlap and Blue. I think these are just gorgeous and very diy-able, especially with the tutorial included on the blog. Click over and try these. Bonus, they cost about $2 per canvas!
Something to Eat
I want these Simple Chocolate parfaits from Simply Designing with Ashley. Like, right now. I must eat them now.
That’s a wrap for the week! Happy Easter on Sunday!
