beautiful metro station

Check out one of the beautiful, new Metro Art Stations in Naples, Italy. The Art Station program has been going on for some time in Europe. This particular one was designed by the Spanish firm of architect Oscar Tusquets Blanca. Wouldn't mind going down into the subway around here if the stations looked more like this. So pretty.

This is a super cute idea...DIY advent calendar. Use the strips of paper to write down activities like "see a movie" or "visit a friend" and glue a pom-pom on it. Each day your little person gets a new, fun activity or gift, and then you sew a new ball onto the garland. Get the whole tutorial on Poppytalk.
