around here

on gray days like this somewhere that's anywhere in southern california (covina to be exact) you can just stroll down the street and buy a colorful pinata to brighten your home

like the sweet vintage pinata in this cool house makeover by emily henderson

or  make this diy gold pinata with a can of spray paint!

or buy yourself a cat sunhat at the vintage store in hopes that the sun will be back tomorrow

i like to dream that i'm going to redecorate the house with a modern tiki theme for summer...and these chairs would be in it

then stroll to the best local thrift store

and buy a hand embroidered mexican pillow cover, soft yellow chevron blanket and a wooden milagro for $5. i'll probably get some tin milagros to nail on the bleeding heart

 like this
it's a good gray day
