inspiration : Sweet Smoothies Birdhouse

I just finished up a new birdhouse for my Etsy store. That's right, the first birdhouse to show up for sale! It's small and adorable and if you're into bright, fun colors this one is for you.

I painted it to look like a little Smoothie Hut. It has rubber fruit accents, wood signs, a sparkly, watermelon painted roof and even a plastic straw for a chimney with wire smoke. It's too cute!

for the birdies

I just finished up a new birdhouse. It's embellished with all sorts of girlie good stuff like Swarovski bronze colored crystals, a crackle roof with a bronze metallic wash on top, wooden picket fence, some rub-on decals and Martha Stewart superfine glitter in "brownstone." It turned out so cute I had to share it with you.

inspiration : daddy's day

Anyone that knows my Dad knows that we both love "tiki" stuff. It started out as a simple 25th birthday party for me (11 years ago), and then the tiki bar never left the garage. We've had tiki Christmases, more tiki birthdays & bbqs and we've even converted the tiki to have a few Cinco De Mayo parties. Since I painted a birdhouse for my Mom for Mother's Day, I thought I'd make one for my ol' Daddy-o too -- tiki style of course!

In the spirit of the tiki daddy's day theme, my Dad also loves coconut, so I baked some coconut cupcakes. Actually, he's a big fan of frou-frou cocktails, but I won't go there right now.
