Notebook for July 31, 2011

I am admiring these placemats and napkins from Home and Garden Art and these coffee mugs from Target.    

I stumbled across this post about 24 Free Splash Pads in Austin from the fabulous Free Fun in Austin website.  (http://www.freefuninaustin.com)   I think we'll take Zoe to the one at the Triangle and enjoy the farmer's market as well. 
  

After staying the night in a hotel last week (what a luxury for a new mom) I'm thinking that blackout curtains will help Zoe get to bed at a reasonable hour this summer.

This puppet theater made from a china hutch is brilliant.

I'm wondering if Austin artist Lisa Marie Concannon from luluxo will accept a commission to upcycle our tshirts and baby clothes into one of her amazing creations?
