a quaint home.

If you love vintage treasures and painted animals as much as I do, take a peek into the home of Lisa Zador for some inspiration. I do love a collector.

fancy wearables.

I am completely infatuated with the great Emily Martin's new locket collection. I have loved her artwork for quite a long time, so I am pretty excited by the idea of wearing one of her beautiful paintings around my neck, perhaps with a tiny old family photo tucked inside. ($40-$55)

interior inspiration : old photographs.

I myself collect them and hang my favorites around the house. I love making up stories about the people I find in random old photographs- there's such an obvious history to many of them.

"fly to the sky, babies" by kenny♥细肩带小女孩不加辣.

another etsy crush.

This time it's on Zelda English and Rodrigo Neto of Captain Cat Collective. They sell a mixture of folk animal masks, vintage goods, handmade/refurbished clothing, anthropomorphic paintings, and stunning photography. I'm pretty smitten.

pretty girl, pretty look.

Loving this look from Supayana, as photographed by Arden Wray. Such a lovely, classic dress- and that girl gives me major hair envy.

ten images of inspiration : warmer days ahead.

I must say, I am mighty sick of the rain up here in the Pacific Northwest. As nice as it sounds against my bedroom windows, I am craving repeated days of sunshine. And now that's it's May, the days are getting warmer and the sun is showing itself more often. Summertime warmth, I'm ready for you.

completely blown away...

...by the photostream of Lissy Elle. Truly some of the prettiest and most creative photographs I have seen in a long while. The talent on Flickr astounds me sometimes.
