I have a slight obsession with Hot Air Balloons. (I got that awesome print here.) I have this extremely vague memory from my childhood of not being able to ride in a hot air balloon because I was too little. I have no idea if that actually happened, it could very well have been a dream. I have extremely realistic dreams and sometimes I get a little confused as to what is real! But that’s not the point. The point is, SOMEDAY I am going to ride in a hot air balloon and it is going to be amazing.

Here are a few of the hot air balloon related goodies that I have bookmarked over the years. I think I’ll start a Pinterest board haha! (I think I need to make myself a hot air balloon dress.)

Another semi-recently developed obsession? Nail polish. And painting things with nail polish. (Other than my nails!) I bought this hot air balloon necklace in January with some of my Christmas money. It was was of those ‘I need to make sure I use up the rest of this gift card’ purchases, because it stinks when you have a dollar and change left on a gift card. That and I loved it, obviously. But the colors were just not me. Nail polish to the rescue. I love it now! Bright, colorful, and perfect. Darth Vader isn’t fond of having a rainbow balloon in his face though. Oh well. Can’t make everyone happy.

PS. This ring I just found on Etsy is perfect.
