Craft Room Delights | Debee Ruiz Brightly Coloured Studio Space


It is no great secret that I am in love with Debee Ruiz. The wonderful crafty and creative genius just had her first baby so she's on maternity leave at the moment but I still love to look over her images of her creations and especially her craft room!


I love the door handles! I have pull out boxes so no handles required on my doors but these are definitely Anthro fabulous!


How sweet is this collection! Is it easy enough for you guys to get those wooden spool things in america? Over here they are so expensive to buy as empty cotton spools... weird. 


I actually have this image and the first image in this post up ion my craft room board to remind myself that I badly need a clear out and to organise my stash! Hasn't really worked just yet lol but it will. I love the way Debee is so good at displaying objects around her home. I am too but it takes about 3 days and there are paint brushes everywhere and tea cups in the middle of my lovely trinket arrangement! 


Such sweet colours! 


I adore this desk! I really wish I had a desk to work at sometimes but I can doodle and do crafts from the sofa and on the floor. Although a desk would be very useful!





Seriously Claire.. get it together!! I want to see inside the drawers she has!! I need to tidy my things. Maybe stick some post its up everywhere! 



Ive always loved that chair. Im jealous of the amount of space Debee has in here!!!  You can view Debees lovely photos on her flickr but I doubt there will be anything new for a while as she's busy being a lovely and creative mama! 
Feeling Inspired?




Lots of love Claire xo

Party Inspiration | Vintage Cupcake Trailer

*squeals* I will forget that it's midwinter and keep drooling over these amazing pictures!! Give me a caravan! Trailer.. a vintage trailer. One of those!!

 


How adorable is this! I love the wee flowery napkin. How cute would this be in the summer time for my birthday?! Only around july in ireland its usually all about the rain and dark grey shades!



The inside of it!! Its absolutely perfect! This trailer is owned by 'Enjoy Cupcakes' and these fab folks provides the trailer full of cupcakes for weddings and events etc. It was all established in 2009 and its now amazingly beautiful and those californians love it!


This is where everything gets made! There are lots of flavours available from these guys on their site. If you are in the california area I would advise you to do this!!


ooo I love the wire basket. 






 I love this tablecloth so much I could burst at this moment. 



I need some cake.. I don't know enough people to invite to my party to eat all these cakes. I could do it.. but Id feel like a greedy gorb! 


Oh i adore these flowers. Adore them. Dahlias? And the colours are so muted and beautiful. I love them. 

Happiness is!!
