Her blog is SO colorful!


What should I bake this week? Maybe sweet potato bread...

Little Public Plaques by artist Keetra Dean Dixon

It's that kind of Friday in Seattle...

: )

Present by cosas minimas

Garlands by Sophie Cuvelier.

Her blog is a bohemian glimpse.

Oh I could go for a fika right now. Reading a book about fika might almost suffice. Fika is Swedish for "take a break and a have a treat". Right now. Anytime. The more the better.

Nice pillows! (found them later at Anthropologie, did not buy, have to eat instead.)

Apartment Therapy house tour: David and Susan's Police Precinct Conversion

2 selections from Ardour Bookbinding B'Zaar. There are "umpteen" send-able envelopes to choose from. She has a small gallery of her envelopes that have been sent out, becoming more decorated in transit...here.

Going through old internet bookmarks. Still love this Apartment Therapy story on Jill Pilotte's home. Jill runs online studio/shop Small Stump. Her place is a totally soothing form of inspiration.

Also, happy birthday A!

Calm bedrooms. I think I would like to be in bed this very minute.

Photographs by artist Nina Katchadourian from the Sorted Books project. The project is, in her words: "culling through a collection of books, pulling particular titles, and eventually grouping the books into clusters so that the titles can be read in sequence, from top to bottom."

You can see many more examples if you click on Sorted Books above.

Oh just a pretty dress for a sunny day.

Dress by Isabel Marant. Sizes 0,1, & 2 currently 30% off at Totokaelo (i think only at the brick and mortar in Seattle).
