Steven Harrington

I received an email from musical artist Orouni, who shared with me this fantastic flyer Steven Harrington created for his upcoming concert in Paris. It's fabulous. I check Steven's shop on a regular basis for new prints. Hopefully some day soon. Enjoy! and thanks to Orouni for sharing. :)

The beaches of Hawaii...

Ebay seller ssumbaugh sells sea glass from the seashore in lots of over 200 hundred pieces. For those of us with no ocean in sight, it would be nice to have this lovely reminder of the sea in our home. CB2's cylinder vases would be the perfect container. Fill them to the brim and you've got a gorgeous accessory.

Original Lemon Painting

by Polly Jones. Sweet.

Aside from the kangaroo ashtray, this is absolutely one of my favorite things yet. A vintage knight bookend in a beautiful green. Check him out here. Enjoy!

My recent fascination with textile/fiber art led me to find this piece by "K". She also has an etsy store. I would love to see her have some more of these for sale. Enjoy!

Throwing one more hat into the ring...

In the quest for my fabric I cannot believe I forgot about Galbraith & Paul. As a result, I am now throwing this Ivy Paisley pattern into the ring. It comes in many different colorways, such as Lime, Marigold and Ocean. Tell me what you think. :)

Not to beat a dead horse...

but one of my favorite DIY ideas ever was Purl Bee's embroidery hoop fabric art. Simply gorgeous. It was really inspiring to see the arrangements our other bloggers installed in their own homes. I think this is such a simple idea with unending possibilities. I know some are hesitant to put so many holes in one wall, but you might think about trying the adhesive no nail hooks.
