I’ve been looking for a new and fabulous make up bag — check out this red and blue grid pouch from Lia Hood’s site good morning, morning!

First, check out this year long effort by Mulysa to catalog a plant a day — I’ve always wanted more proficiency with the natural world, to be able to see nuance in the world around me in that way. Also, her describitions of Oregon make me miss my childhood in Vermont.Second, Perfect Closet’s Frugal Friday feature is genius.

I’d been thinking that the decal thing was over and done with, but then I saw these gold bird decals on Urban Outfitters.com and thought of this chinoiserie pattern from my house clippings journal (originally from Domino). Which made me into decals, again.

I’ve had my eye on this dinning room table for two years — I don’t even have an apartment large enough for a dinning room let alone a table like this. However, that is why clipping journals exist — to keep track of all the bits of the universe that appeal/inspire/haunt me.

I thought we were close when we ended up with a pretty large windfall of William Sonoma Gift Cards post wedding (William Sonoma gift cards can be used at WS Home). However, WS Home has stopped carrying this table! Horrors! Anyone out there with one they want to get rid of? Or know of a top secret WS Home outlet?

This chiyogami pattern by lilfairy (via Print & Pattern) blew my mind. It’s wallpaper, except, not.

Update: Check out the “living” wallpaper on the green focused design blog Inhabitat. Wallpaper, except, not.

Denise Sharp is a paper fiend. I love this wedding cake decorated (even if its completely impractical, noted my husband) with paper from this most recent Martha Stewart Weddings (one of my guilty pleasures). I also like this paper arch d’triumph maybe because legend has it in my family that a distant forefather flew an airplane through it during the 1st world war. I hope so!

I love this vintage plaid shirt from Curious Bird.
