Friday Five

UN: I want this book. It is by French illustrator and author Jean-Phillipe Delhomme.

DEUX: I am in love with these grassy green sheets from British company Deep Sheets.

TROIS: This sweet butterfly ring is fabulous and I want one in every color for me and all my girlfriends. You'll find them at 2Jane.

QUATRE: Amanda Soule From www.soulemama.com made this marvelous spring jacket for her child. I love sewing clothes for my son and this little ditty gets my creative juices going!

CINQ: Cluttered work spaces. I love going into a friend's home and seeing their sewing table in disarray or their desk top filled with little sticky notes and open journals with yesterday's morning coffee cup sitting out. Messy surfaces are a sign of a life in progress!

Pillow Talk

I need an intervention.
I have a pillow fetish.
They make everything cozy.

Color Me Happy

The cool thing about the "Rainbow Brite" school of design is that it goes with everything! There's very little guess work and the result is a happy, vibrant feeling.







And here she is... Rainbow Brite. I love weird cartoons from the early 80's. Who is the fluffy guy with the star antennae? I don't remember him.

My favortie wallpaper

I'm still on an Oral Kiely's kick. I love her designs - particularly this wallpaper. This would be gorgeous in a dining room or bedroom. It's bold and graphic in form, but has the softest, prettiest hues. Its divine!

Orla Kiely at Target

I'm on an Orla Kiely kick. Here is her collection of groovy goodies and designs now available at Target. I *heart* Target. I love that they have beautiful designs for a girl on a budget - a really, really small budget.



I just picked up this pear print tablecloth from Target last week. I may upholster my dining chairs with it, cover some throw pillows or make it into curtains.

Blue Ticking

Did you ever sleep on a mattress covered in blue ticking fabric? I did. And I'm seeing this lovely fabric spring up everywhere - pillows, dresses, quilts, tablecloths, curtains and covered head boards. There is something very soothing and reminiscent about the simplicity of blue ticking fabric.

Mirror, Mirror

I saw a beautiful mirrored nightstand at Anthropologie a few months back and I'm still thinking about it. Of course, its way out of my price range, but a girl can dream, right? Here's a little something to tide me over.
