ANNIKA ASCHBERG.

Tonight I find myself browsing through the archives of Annika Aschberg's blog, a Swedish photographer and filmmaker. Her work is completely breathtaking- I cannot stop saving photographs for inspiration.

FLICKR PHOTO OF THE DAY : MY CAT.

"cat sandwich" by yours truly. Because I couldn't resist sharing one of the many ridiculous things I do to my kitty.

YES...

...I am pretty darn sure I need this illustrated cat garland in my home. Need. ($18, see also: Faye Moorhouse)

THOUGHT OF THE DAY : SAMMICHES.

"Work Hard and Eat a Lot of Sandwiches," a digital print by local Portland artist Will Bryant (available for purchase here, $18)

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : MINIMALISTIC, WITH PERSONALITY.

I generally find it rather rare to see minimalistic spaces that show any kind of personality- most of the time (being a clutter/vintage/treasure lover myself) I think that a large amount of them resemble office buildings and modern hotels. Sometimes, though, uniqueness and personal style shines through clean & sparse interiors and I love it. (Scandinavians: they are frequently experts at this.)

TEN IMAGES OF INSPIRATION : CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.

When certain aspects of my life seem stressful, sometimes I can't help but reminisce about being a child again. A lack of responsibility and an abundance of imagination and wonder... sometimes it just sounds all too pleasant.
