Hello, everyone! Thank you for all of the sweet and genuine comments about Tuesday’s post. I can’t tell you how much they meant to myself and our family. I am back today with three fun finds that lifted my spirits this week. They are just simple treats that make me smile. And if you happen to be related to me and hosting Easter this year, please stop reading {spoiler alert}. To kick things off, number one is this darling mug I found at Target. I mean, how do you not take this home. Green is my color and I was due for a fun new mug. I had two polka dot mugs I love and dropped one, so a girl needs a back up, right! Say, hello to my new little mug! 
Next up are these super cute dipping bowls I came across {also at Target . . . their buyers are doing a bang up job lately}. These cute little bowls are melamine and could be used as décor or for serving. My sister uses her backyard so much during the spring and summer and I know these will come in handy with all of the great appetizers and dipping sauces she makes. I sniff an Easter hostess gift, don’t you???? Wish I could keep them for myself. 
And the third thing that made me really perk up this week was receiving my instagram photos in the mail. With a hand written note, no less. This company is based out of Australia and prints these super cute polaroid style prints. 
If you have something enabled on your phone, they will print out with a map on the back of where the photo was taken! That is awesome. I didn’t have it enabled so I lost out on that. But the date is on each one which I love. The company, origrami, has no idea I exist but I am sure glad they do! Just seeing these snaps of the kids, our friends, and many of our date nights captured is so much fun. 
I have some really fun plans for these and will show you once the idea comes to life. For now, we are all just enjoying thumbing through them. To follow me on Instagram, click here, or find me @athoughtfulplace. 
My friend Carmel just posted about a great way to print the photo straight from your phone so you may want to check that out here. So those are three finds that I fell in love with this week. Did you stumble upon anything silly and frivolous that made you smile this week? Please share! ………….. And congratulations to the winner of the $100 shopping credit to Lulu and Georgia Hannah Cornforth!

Isn't Target the best??? Love your new mug, and I was eyeing those bowls the other day.
I love all these instagram prints!! I'm itching to get mine off my phone in a book or something…I'll have to see what you do! I rarely use my 'real' camera for anything but blog shots anymore….everything is documented on my phone!
I just bought that mug and love it!! And I desperately need to print my IG photos too!!
Target has so many amazing things right now. I was in there the other day and found myself just wandering to make sure I got a good look at everything. The new items from the Threshold line blew me away!
The Instagrams are adorable too! I've used Printicular, and it's super awesome!!
Lovely!!! Such pretty things to put a smile on our faces.
I'm loving your Instagram prints! So fun! Do you have a link for the company?
Many thanks!

Those instagram prints are the best! I'm going to have to check that out because I was just complaining to a friend that I take a good chunk of my pictures there and then *never* do anything with them…this is perfect! And that mug would make me smile every time I used it (c:
Target has such great things for spring right now! I absolutely love it!
I also need to get some Instagram shots for our house!
