too good......

.......while looking through boho magazine last night {which is fantastic by the way!}.....I came across these awesome plates by christopher jagmin. I have been trying to figure out how to print on found plates for some time now...... but while I have been doing that...... lots and lots of people have already beat me to it! oh well........I love these so much I had to proclaim it............


....and then while perusing around I found these.....and they couldn't be any better......I mean, bold graphic numbers......the way they are off centered........they're talkin' to me sisters!


are they talkin' to you? hope today is a great day for all of you........ xo

easy elegance.........

......I have been wanting this book for several weeks....and I finally have it in my possession!




Everyone always asks me what I call my style...and I never know what to say! I always throw out words like urban, eclectic, industrial ,vintage,found...etc. but when I first laid eyes on this book I knew I had found what I could completely agree with both in word and pictures........easy elegance ... "not so much a design style as a way of life. It's a chic but relaxed look that rejects prescriptive style rules in favour of a more personal approach to decorating. Comfort, simplicity, function and individuality are the key ingredients of the look, and the result is a home that's warm and welcoming, yet versatile and smart."

Perfectly said....now feast your eyes and run out and buy this book! xo

Oh..and p.s. tell me if you think I'm right..........

I'm so excited about my newest sponsor....lily pottery! First of all, lily is another local gal ......but even better......we were studio mates together when we first started out! Lily and I were both a little nervous about taking the plunge to rent studio space on our own, and so we did it together..........as both of our businesses grew... we expanded, and now lily is just two doors down.......I can hop over there anytime and shoot the breeze, bounce off ideas, and laugh and giggle about all of the crazy things we do!

I'm so proud of my friend and how hard she works to promote her beautiful product....please check out her website and her etsy shop to see all of the many talents this chick has up her sleeve........but for now my friends ....one of you has a chance to win one of her rings!! That's right....these babies are hot and she can barely keep them in stock! Leave me a comment, and I'll pick a winner on Friday!

Happy Monday! xo
