Weekly Weak Knees no. 61

What’s this? Weekly Weak Knees is a collection of the things that are making me happy this week. Some of these posts have been shared in my daily “currently loving” sidebar feature, but most is a new mix of design, great food, my favourite posts, positivity, handmade goods, DIY’s and a little fashion that I that can’t stand you not knowing about. Why not start the week off inspired, right?

Also, is there a situation in which a slippy mat would be desirable? Because I would love it if the mat industry took this step for me.
