thought of the day : enjoy.

"Giclee Print, Sit Eat Enjoy," from Jenn Ski's Etsy shop ($41)

postal love.

Just spotted these limited edition leather envelope purses over on Couverture- aren't they just perfect?

ten images of inspiration : textures.

I always love seeing the presence of different textures in photographs, when you feel like you can just reach right in and touch them.

necklaces from vanilla bug.

I know I have posted about Vanilla Bug at least once before, but I recently rediscovered Amy's shop and fell in love with it all over again. These handmade necklaces are certainly the sweetest- so creative and quite beautiful. (about $30 each)

thought of the day : horizontal.

A page from Sara Fanelli's book, Sometimes I Think, Sometimes I Am. (available from Magma Books, £19.99)

seriously smitten with...

the entire portfolio of designer, illustrator, and calligrapher Cynthia Warren. Her work on weddings and events is especially breathtaking.

interior inspiration : minty fresh.

I am really loving this shade of green lately. It usually always looks so clean and fresh and has a nice retro feel to it.
