Loving this painting, “My Imagined Heartbeat” by Rebecca Urias found on the Shiny Squirrel.

You may have noticed a cute little koi pond has taken up residence on my sidebar. Click anywhere on the pond to “feed” the fish and they will move around and be extra cute. Note that the combination of 8 goldfish and one black goldfish is especially auspicious! You can make a custom pond of your very own here.

Utowa, my favorite flower shop in NYC, just launched a new and improved online photo gallery full of delicious floral inspiration. The photo up top is of what you’ll see when you walk into their store: find them off line at 1 West 19th Street.

Montana was great. We went fly fishing every night in the stream right by our sod house (an entire post on that later!).

Me taking a break from said fly fishing with my mom.

Mom: who caught more fish than than the rest of us combined.

Click on the image above to see more detail of what can only be called one awesome dollhouse. Made in the 17th century for Petronella Oortman, a wealthy Amsterdam lady, I’d argue that this was where she stored some of her ideas about interiors she loved (similar to the blogworld, or our clipping files). As much as we’re different we are the same. More here.

This water garden was last summer’s big outdoor project, complete with a tiny fish and two happy snails.

See them all here.
