Black and yellow are an undeniable duo. They're equal parts dramatic and mellow, making bees, cabs, and caution tape pop. And also, of course, smiley faces! I was excited to make necklaces with these happy face beads and build black and yellow outfits around them. I also had some black and white anchors, which explains the necklaces' nautical bent. You might think I'm some sort of sailing enthusiast considering how often anchors come up in my projects. But no, I just like the way they look and the retro feels they represent. In reality, I steer clear of boats because I get seasick. Kind of like how I'm crazy for cacti but have no desire to visit the desert. Or how I'm into unicorns but not horses. Also, if by some miracle I met a unicorn, then I'd probably run screaming in the other direction.
Ah, crafting. You let me soar while keeping me grounded.
And that's why you're my happy place.

I loved this post :) thanks for your sharing...
Oh my! You to have the bold and the beautiful combination going on with Yellow & Black. So many wonderful smiley faces and anchors! Brilliant!
The humidity is here and not much fun to be in, but we have been getting some showers so that's been nice. So great to see your wonderful post! Such amazing outfits and bows too! So very inspiring❤️💙🧡🦋🌈
Love how you have paired these two colors up and made the most of it! Such charming necklaces too! And you have so many great finds in tops, bottoms and dresses, too! Adoring the post! You know how to walk into summer! Just trying to keep cool here. I hear you about the cacti and the boats too💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
Oh, I felt for sure you were going on a cruise with that title! Lovely bows and all! Yes, you find the color to make these outfits pop! Adoring that photo of you in your shades too! So many adorable bags too! Such amazing summer inspiration! Here's to a beautiful June with many happy things along the way🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 Thank you so much for being here!
P.S...It seems blogger is being weird ..how I check for comments and none are there and then suddenly they are..hmmmm Thanks so much for your comments. Yes, I do have fun with Deano. Who of course, loves being a dad while I think it's hard for Caitlin since she never had those kind of memories growing up. Still I think they are good for each other. And of course, I'm glad Sammie didn't leave Gabe, either.
You absolutely rock the yellow and black combination!!! 💛🖤 The color duo looks fabulous on you, and I love the variation of looks you created with them! The big polka dot hair bows are so adorable. And those smiley face/anchor necklace creations you made are so cool!!! "Ah, crafting. You let me soar while keeping me grounded." I totally get that, because I too love the nautical vibes but get seasick, so I prefer keeping my feet on the solid ground! Crafting is definitely a happy place where our imaginations can soar. 💞
I'm obsessed with yellow so I love everything in this fabulous post! The black and yellow combo is outstanding. I find the big cruise ships really easy to be on and just returned from over two weeks on a cruise with no problems with sea sickness.
Have beads, make jewellery, I say.
And yes, I was thinking cabs, or taxis, as I was scrolling through.
