Happy Friday! Have I told you that pretty packaging makes me weak at the knees? I’m one of those annoying people who will decant detergent from its original ugly jug into a much more visually pleasing glass container. So yes, beautiful products and well-designed packaging will always captivate me. Case in point: these Merchant & Mills sewing paraphernalia are right up my alley with their minimalistic and simple, yet graphic look. The vintage touch is also pulling at my heart strings. In fact, I love the packaging so much that I haven’t had the heart to open these babies. These are from one of my favorite stores<\/a>, and they make me happy.<\/p>\n

K’s best friend A travels frequently (she recently jaunted to Paris, lucky duck) and always sends K a postcard. I absolutely loved this one that arrived this week. A and her family went on a road trip to Minnesota and sent this little gem:<\/p>\n

The winner of the summery fruit fabric giveaway<\/a> is #62, Mandy<\/a>! She said,<\/p>\n

“I love Traverse City! We have a summer cabin just north in Lake Leelanau. Most beautiful place on earth I think. Oh and how I wish I could have some cherries right now.<\/p>\n

As a child I spent many hours playing with femo, legoes, building forts and teepees, swimming, and climbing trees. Those were the days\u2026”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Such fun memories (though I’m not sure what femo is — is it a kind of clay?), and what a coincidence!! Lake Leelanau is where I went in Michigan. It really is<\/em> beautiful there. You should have already received an email from me, Mandy. Congrats!<\/p>\n

Well friends, I hope you have wonderful plans for the weekend. I have a busy one ahead of me full of prepping and organizing for some cool projects, and will be back Monday to share an outfit! For now, a haiku:<\/p>\n

Kids Clothes Week Summer<\/a><\/em>
\n The first one ever, hooray!<\/em>
\n Are you in or out*?<\/em><\/p>\n

*I am sort of in…I went overboard for KCW Spring so this time, I think I will tone it down quite a bit. After all, K would be a contender for the Most Abundant Wardrobe Award if there was such a thing…<\/em><\/p>\n
