Friday Favorites

These Heirloom Recipe Card Boxes from Rifle Paper Co. are absolutely darling. We were smitten at first sight, then reading on about the creation of each box from unique salvaged hardwood, there was no turning back. It's Love.
A perfect wedding gift, don't you think? So special!
They're available for a limited pre-order, so hurry on over!

Hope you are all planning some great Independence day fun this weekend!

Plants as art

Plants can be used as art. Why not, right? Forget the planter sitting idly on your desk or bookshelf. These ideas make plants the feature in your room. All it takes is a little imagination and, in some cases, a little work. A wall of succulents? A long creeper of vine trailing across the room? Yes, please.

Patterned Mondays

Stripes. Some created. Some found. Some unexpected. Mostly red. Always fun.

Friday Favorites

I love these She Dolls from Stiksel. Inspired by the graphic ladies pictogram, these little dolls embody the idea of simplicity. With their basic shape and austere decoration, they remind me of corn husk dolls. Leaving all the details up to one's imagination. You can see that there is a deliberate placement of the fabrics, though and that gives them a sophistication that I love. And they are made of recycled fabric remnants. Even better.



Hoping you all have a wonderful weekend!
