I love these alphabet bags for $15 plus shipping… I just think they are beautiful, simple, graphic. Via Cup of Jo (a genius herself).

I saw this beautiful lamp at Design Public and it is just warming up my Tuesday. Hope everyone had good weekends. Mine was packed in the best way: In addition to a yummy dinner of whole wheat lasagna with Joanna and Alex and checking out a new restaurant, I was also thrilled to meet up with Anne for a brunch and design conversation!
I took an unplanned mini-blogging break yesterday (hung out with my sister, worked on the baby quilt, had dinner with friends) but I’ll be back next week.
In the meantime, I’ll be dreaming of green courtyards and cobalt blue planters.
I spied this video over at Even Cleveland earlier today and it had just been stuck in my head. I love the black and white, the argyle sweater, the dancing fingers, the Paris-ness of it all. I’ve never seen this movie, but I love the dancing so so so so much.
This week’s bouquet looks at bit like Valentine’s Day in September — it’s roses, snapdragons and star of Jerusalem.
I would have loved this cardboard house as a child. My cool mama lived in SOHO before it was SOHO and at the door of her converted loft a homeless man lived in a refrigerator box. She was glad he was there, as it made her feel safer (she and her roommate were friendly enough with the man and gave him food and blankets). I remember hearing this story when I was young and worrying about a man who had to live in a refrigerator box (how did he keep warm in the winter, I wondered), but, also being a little envious in that child-like way that sees everything difficult as an adventure. (merci for the great site Black Eiffel)
This is one of my favorite DIY projects I’ve seen in a while and a really nice way to personalize cheap frames (and use up that fabric stash!). I’d love to do this with IKEA wooden frames and rad vintage fabric (or wallpaper, actually). Someday I’ll get around to doing this….. Has anyone tried this? Any tips?
Happy Friday! I’d like to sit on this porch in the sun (via Elle Decor) and read all the magazines that are piling up in my house. What are your big plans of the weekend? I’ll be chillin’ with my mom.
I’m also loving this house and formal garden (from Elle Decor?). My mother always says you need to know what you want to get it….
This is one of my favorite images. I LOVE the tree branch and the light. And the composition of the photo too, I think. I wouldn’t want this kitchen (it looks really difficult to keep clean) but I’d like to spend the weekend here. In my fantasy, this is a beach house and I could come in for a drink with sand on my feet. SIGH.
I’ve always loved saltines — as a child my favorite treat was “nachos” made by baking Cabot cheddar cheese onto saltines. Simply one of the most delicious things you can eat. Salt, cheese, crunch. When I worked my corporate job with insane hours, I was never without a package of saltines in my desk.
While I no longer can indulge in “nachos” the way I once could, and I thankfully don’t need to eat a package of saltines as dinner at my desk anymore, I love this necklace found via Sometimes Dresses, Sometimes Jeans. Delicious.
