The Crystal Chain Gang

It's possible that I'm loosing my mind. I've been crazy busy bouncing from meeting to meeting. These lovely pieces jumped out at me from my inspiration folder today. I sincerely hope I haven't already posted these images, but it's worth the risk because I find them to be so, so lovely!! I know absolutely nothing about glass work...but from looking at these I have a feeling the craftsmanship that went into them is superb.

I know, I know. Put a bird on it. But these are so pretty I couldn't resist!

Extra Terrariums

There really aren't words to describe how amazing these "Extra Terrariums" are. So beautiful!

This one (above) is my favorite.

Modern Windsor

I want to start the day this morning with a great big hello to any new readers from The Sweetest Occasion! I was lucky enough to be featured on there with the lovely children's portrait photographer Christy. Thank you, and welcome!

So, I got the new West Elm catalog in the mail yesterday and their new Modern Windsor line totally caught my eye. Aren't these chairs just beautiful? I'd love to see what other takes West Elm could do on traditional furniture styles. Like maybe a modern Jinny Lind bed? How cool could that be?

The chaise, truly swoon-worthy!

And just in case you'd forgotten, this is what the traditional version looks like. Pretty great update, right? image via Country Living

Love+Bicycles

Aren't these little valentine's just lovely? I'm such a fan of the tandom bike! And those teeny-tiny hearts? So pretty! Lynn of Satsuma Press just posted these in her shop today!

These cards bring to mind this wedding featured in Oregon Bride and shot by FS Photography. Isn't it pretty? More images here.

Nice Love Banners

Um. Wow. I spotted one of these guys over on Poppytalk this morning and just had to share the rest of the handmade banner collection from Nice. Aren't these so fun?!

By far these ones are my favorites. The fringe?? How fun is that? And the letters are hand cut. Have you ever tried to hand cut letters? NOT easy!

Hurry over to her shop to snag one just in time for Valentine's Day!

Urban Weeds

so excited to be up on Urban Weeds today!! Check it out :)

shopping...in Sweden...

Just spending the afternoon doin' a little real estate shopping. In Sweden. For super expensive apartments. Why not? Sure is beautiful!!

I'm in love with this molding and the modern light fixture. So pretty!

Check out the tile work on that fireplace! I've never seen anything like it in a home!

Sure. I'll take that view!

So, I know I should be worried about the clothes rack in the corner...this means no closets, right? But ya know, I just don't care. It's worth it!! (as if I'm really shopping)

Such a cute kids room! That hot pink fur with the antique lace?!

So, so love this entry way with the tiny strip of wallpaper.

Oh sure. ya. That's the exterior. I'm sure we could swing this building...
