Happy Saturday!

I don't post a whole lot of pictures of me here. I figure there are more exciting things to feature than myself! But Doug took this picture this morning and it really reflects how I'm feeling at the moment - happy, calm and looking forward to hunkering down with a good book in front of a roaring fire for the next couple of days. Have a great weekend everyone - I'm going to rake some leaves . . .

A luxury nap - we all need one of these!

I spotted this today via a Tweet from Christine and I thought how fun it would be to have one of these Suzani mattresses. I'm not sure what I would really do with it but it seems like such a luxurious way to nap!

Random object . .

How cute is this Jack and Jill tin tray? I think it's meant to serve those tiny tin cups that I'm also coveting - all of which can be found at Sushipot Parts!

Doing My Stuff

I think these are super cool. Vintage pin back buttons from the 1930s. "Authentic, vintage pin back button made by the Johnson Smith Company who started out in 1905 selling novelties and practical joke items in Australia. They came to Chicago in 1914 and are still in business to this day." Available for $4 each from Suite22

Be inspired while you sleep!

Another great idea!

I saw this online and thought - what a good idea! If you're like me you have loads of bits of inspiring ephemera and crafty paper bits that you don't want to stack in a pile or put in a scrap book - you want to keep them handy - right? Well this looks like a simple solution - a handy sling that hangs on the wall! You can make it as long or as short as you like to fit that unused space in your studio. Directions are here at Penny Carnival.
