Happy Friday!! It is a really lovely day here – a bit cooler and less humid than it’s been, and I am planning on taking a little walk on the nature trail near my home. What are you up to? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend? I hope you are able to take some time to savor the summer. I am excited to share my seven finds today because I am so in love with each and every one – I hope you like them too!
1. I feel like these platters from May Luk Ceramics were made with me in mind – the handmade shapes, soft colors, and cute kitties and foxes have me all a-swooning! And do you see those cupcakes? Those are my favorite, hands-down: red velvet with cream cheese frosting. Mm. I know the cupcakes are not for sale but hey, I’m pregnant – what do you expect?
2. I think these lovely, soft mail envelopes from Tuuni would be such a sweet place to store postcards from friends, love notes, or even to stash your bills.
3. Are you familiar with Clare Owen Illustration? I’ve been drooling over her work on Flickr, and now I see that her Etsy shop has been recently updated – hooray!
4. If you are the crafty type and you haven’t seen these yet, you must check out Colette Patterns. They create some of the cutest original patterns I’ve seen – fresh and modern, but with a vintage touch that adds just the right amount of charm.
5. Let’s just say I would be in heaven in the bedroom of this apartment. Each little thing speaks to me, from the Moroccan rug and slippers, hefty mirror, and amazing door to the romantic, bohemian touches like the dress hung artfully against the wall, the netting above the bed, and the vintage dress form. Found via desire to inspire.
6. Did you catch this DIY project on design*sponge? The clock looks phenomenal, like something one might purchase in Anthropologie, no? And I appreciate this project all the more because it was dreamed up by Kate Pruitt, who happens to live in Oakland, CA, the town where I was born.
7. And finally, how awesome is this crochet tent created by artist Timothy J. Karpinsky? I could crawl in there and take a nap right now! ;) Found via decor8.
So that brings us to the end of another week here, friends! Thank you so much for coming by, each of your comments and emails touch me and make me feel so grateful to be a part of such a warm and creative community that stretches out across the entire globe :) It’s possible of course that I’ll go into labor at any time, but if not I will see you back here on Monday!!
