Tennis Lollipops

I often make these types of lollipops for baseball and basketball (you can check these out if you want on my other blog roommom27) but today I made some tennis lollipops to pass out during the U.S. Open. But you could make these with your tennis club or school name.


You just need some flat lollipops, yellow paper, a circle cutter, tape, white and black pens.


This is the type of lollipop that you need to use for your base.


Using a circle punch - punch out some yellow circles. If you don't have a circle punch - you can use a round cookie cutter or trace a glass and cut the circles out by hand. I think that my circle punch was around $15 and I used a 40% off coupon from Michael's so it just cost around $8 and I use it all the time for projects.


Using a white paint Sharpie pen I made the white lines.


Using a black pen I wrote the U.S. Open and Penn.


Now I just tape the tennis ball onto the flat lollipop. What could be easier?

Vintage Racquets and Tennis Bag


I found this vintage Gucci tennis bag on the PinkyGuestVintage website. The post is dated all the way back from November 2007. I am going to start looking weekly for a bag like this on Ebay. I just LOVE it.



This adorable bedroom has the cutest tennis racquets over the bed. I think they look fantastic on the wooden wall behind the bed. I found this photo on the dwellerswithoutdecorators.blogspot.com. Notice how these racquets are hung upside down.



This tennis racquet wall art looks like it is in a mud room/entry way. This photo is from designsponge.com.

There are so many areas of your home that can be decorated with vintage tennis racquets.

I Changed My Mind - About my Wimbledon Outfits

I found this Kate Spade tennis bag on the Trendencies.com website. Unfortunately this website is written in Spanish. However, I digress - what I would like to say is that I changed my mind and now when I play at Wimbledon - I will carry this Kate Spade bag.




And I also changed my mind about my Wimbledon tennis dress. This dress can be found on the ralphlauren.com website. The dress was originally $165 but it now on sale for $79 which I think is a really great deal. Don't you agree - that this is a fantastic dress for Wimbledon!



I might wear the above dress to be a spectator at Wimbleton. It can be found on the ellegirl.elle.com website. It is a Tommy Hilfiger dress. Tommy has been making a lot of preppy and country club themed clothes in 2011.



This is another dress idea for Wimbledon spectating. I love the navy color and cuffs. It can be found on the Tibi.com website under the resort 2012 collection.
