It has been far too long...

My lovely friend Madalyn over at From These Lips has reminded me at least ten times this week how long it's been since I've blogged. Then today when she said, "U HAVE NOT BLOGGED SINCE MAY?!?!?!! shame on you" that is when I went fuck. So consider this my public message that I'm coming back. And to prove that I haven't been completely living in a hole the past 7 weeks, ouch. Here are 7 of my latest saved and favorited photos for your enjoyment. Missed you!

While forgetting I shattered my ankle skateboarding at 16, this photo reminded me incredibly how adorable tom boy babies are.

Talk about a dream wall of goodness. Wanted.

Such a blue-eyed beaut. Reminds me of Mickey Blue Eyes, the puppy we had in our family for such a short time before realizing our apartment has banned these cuties.

A field of flowers. I could lie in one all day.

One day, if I ever fit into a little kids size, ha! I'll pick this baby up.

I am currently in succulent heaven. The grocery store nearest my apartment currently has a grip of these beauties for sale. Want, want, and more want.

Felt!

{via}

These are absolutely charming little bowls - perfect homes for rings, spare change, hair accessories and more.  Wanna know the reason why I'm so intrigued by this find?  Because does this not just scream DIY project waiting to happen!?  I mean, just pick four pieces of felt, sew them all together and voila!  Okay... yes, yes, mayyybe it won't be that wam-bam-fast.  But I couldn't help get excited to try it out!

Watercolour

Watercolour is, in my opinion, one of the most delicate forms of artistic painting.  Now I know there are a lot of very delicate, time-intensive mediums out there, but with watercolour - there is such a freedom about it.  You are at the will of the pigments suspended in water, layer upon layer of free-formed color.  Yes you apply the color, the stroke, the amount of water - but ask someone who's tried to achieve a piece of work such as this and they will tell you - it's not that simple.

Silver Ridge Studio's Etsy shop has me in awe of the ethereal water paintings done by Cate Parr, an England native, now living in Los Angeles making amazing portraits for all to see.  I spotted one of her portraits in Lucky's February issue and fell into a state of inspiration.

You can view her work on her Etsy shop, here.  Be ready to fall in love with some amazingly feminine portraits.

Hump Day Fave: West Elm Christmas Decor

{hand made felt ornaments}

Have you too discovered West Elm's fabulous holiday decor yet?  I stumbled across one great wall piece that lead me straight to their holiday collection that had me filled with excitement to start collecting pieces to decorate my new apartment in time for the holidays.  My all time favorites are the ornaments above and just below, all of which have inspired me to do some DIY projects... The rest are simply fabulous pieces that would make any home feel warm and in the holiday spirit.

We Are So Good Together

These hand thrown ceramic vessels are absolutely adorable.  Big enough for a sauce serving dish, small enough to hold votives and spices.  If I had these babies I know exactly what I'd use them for - to hold my salt and pepper!  Not only would I get to use them nearly everyday, how perfect do they play off the saying?  Salt and pepper definitely go good together in my book.

So I can have a day bench just like this one, with all of it's colorful fabrics, to relax on and enjoy the cool night air.  Does that not sound like the most enjoyable evening by far?

Eva Juliet

Eva of Montreal has a fabulous Etsy shop called Eva Juliet, which is full of fun prints available in English and French.  Here a few I really love because of their original artwork paired with a creative and inspiring message...

Hump Day Fave: Creative Decor Finds

I've always imagined that when I have my own little abode to call my own that I would have all these creative decor finds scattered around my house.  You know, the kinds of regular things that people have, but with a spin that makes people notice them, creates a conversation... those kinds of things.   I'm really big on not having the same 'ol thing, I'm not anti-tradition, but at the same time I like to be creative and stand out.  So here are some fun decor finds that I think would be awesome to have...

Teacup Hook - Every home has hooks somewhere - kitchen for pot holders and towels, the entryway for keys and coats, the bathroom for hand towels, bedrooms for purses, necklaces - you get the picture.  I think this would be great for even half of those functions.  I would absolutely use this for the entryway for keys and spare change, or the bedroom for necklaces, earrings or spare anything, the kitchen for potholders and how about growing some herbs in that teacup?  Love this.

Bottle Opener - Every party needs a bottle opener handy, and it always sucks when you don't.  I've shared this before, and I still stand by wanting this convenient little puppy really bad.

Outdoor Plants - I've always imagined having a uniquely landscaped backyard, no matter how big or small that space would be.  And these simple vessels are exactly what I would want to add a unique, yet simple and sleek look to hang greenery, flowers, herbs, even cacti to give a fun look.

Indoor Flowers - Fresh flowers inside always adds a fresh touch to any home.  I love having them, I enjoy seeing other friend's homes with them, and I think these little laboratory style vases would be a simple touch to add a few simple flowers just to bring some freshness to a space.

A welcome sign - I want people to feel warm and welcomed into my home.  So a framed poster like this would be perfect to hang near the entryway.  Right now I'm loving this yellow, but she also has it available in red, green, pink, grey and blue.

A Teacher's Apple

Hey sister sister, check these cute apples out!  I think they're a smidge pricey, £19.00, which is $30.00.  But aren't they cute? 

Seen on D*S.
