Happy Sunday Everyone!

It's been awhile, but limes&lives is back.

Hello mes amies,
It has been quite awhile and it's good to be back. As Christmas approaches, I am trying to get the ball rolling on some dandy homemade gifts for my friends and family. Right now I am thinking about making a little wall decor for my sisters and pulling inspiration from these:

Staying Sweet in the Summer Heat

I am a huge fan of summery, beachy braids. They look so pretty and give you amazing waves when you take them out. If you are kicking around at soccer practice, drying off on the sandy beach, or meeting some friends for an evening ice cream cone, you can find a braid for anything...

Old is New Again

I have been trying to figure out what to do with a bunch of my Grandma's old clip on earrings. They are beautiful and I really want to repurpose them. I found these images of old buttons and have decided that I might try to fancy up a couple hair clips and things out of my old earrings and buttons. We'll see how it goes...

Nothing Says Summer Like...

Those patio lanterns, they were the stars in the skies
Those patio lanterns, lighting up our lives

Oh, those patio lanterns.

Tree Silhouettes

I love how an image of a tree silhouette mixes a natural, down-to-earth feeling with an artsy fartsy flair.
