I absolutely love these chalk board prints. I’m picturing them in a children’s room, nursery, playroom or den.
P.S. Now that’s it’s warming up, doesn’t that scooter print make you want to get one and ride around everywhere?!

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Loving…
Thursday, February 11th, 2010I’m changing the name of the Thursday post from Coveting… to Loving… because as I was getting this post together I realized I don’t have a ton of things I’m coveting this week, but rather more things on my mind that I’m loving. So, without further adieu, this weeks loving…
Alicia Bock’s print The Renault. I haven’t been to Paris yet, but this is what it looks like in my mind. Moody and quirky and all together lovely.
Six weeks of amazing inspiration from 300 fabulous bloggers. I’m posting February 25th (click here to see when the other bloggers are posting) and am busy compiling my list of everything that inspires me.
Yoga. When I’m in class I feel strong and proud of my body.
I was so against Twitter for so long (I’m not quite sure why) but now that I’m on, I’m hooked! Follow me here. I love social media.
Wachovia Possibilities Rewards. For every penny I spend and every bill I pay, I earn points. I just traded them in for a $50 Restoration Hardware gift card!

Independent Artisan: Kari Herer
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010
Five of Kari’s silverware prints are in my kitchen and one of her peony postcards has found it’s way into my bookcase. Suffice it to say, I absolutely love her work. Some of it looks vintage while some of it is almost dream like. The quality is impeccable and the colors truly lovely. Definitely check her site out for loads of inspiration.
Picturing the Past 10 Years
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
Phillip Niemeyer has created an awesome visual chart for the New York Times depicting trends of the past decade. Check out the whole chart here. It will definitely be a walk down memory lane.
Abandonend Houses
Monday, January 11th, 2010
This photo series of Abandoned Houses by Kevin Bauman is both fascinating and sad. To think that at one time families lived and loved in these; someone may have even put their own sweat and tears into building one. I wish there was a way to go into all of these towns that are dying and help revive the ecomony, the people and in turn the neighborhoods.

Watercolors
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
I cannot get over the wondrous beauty of Gabriella Fiabane’s work. In fact, I recently purchased the last one… it reminds me of the farmland around my in laws home.
You can shop a limited number of acrylics and watercolors on her website or an extensive number of watercolors through her two Etsy stores. Watercolors here. Acrylics here.
