The giraffes might be wonderful on a wall in my son's bedroom!

Paper Birds in a Window

Anthropologie kicked off their '09 season with a fantastic window display of paper birds flying in a flock. They are made of paper and fabric, suspended by nylon string. I'm still thinking about them three months later. I'd love to create something like this in my bedroom. What do you think?

One Nightstand

Its the last thing you look at before falling asleep and the first thing you see upon waking. Shouldn't it be lovely and appeal to your senses? Then why is mine cluttered with old water glasses, crinkled magazines, Chap Stick, lozenge wrappers and contact solution? I need to rethink my nightstand. What's on your nightstand?



And as per reader's request here was my own nightstand last month... a more organized and peaceful month than the one we now inhabit.

Crayon Rings

How cool are these? I love art supplies and I love jewelry. I think these rings were made for me! You can find them at The Future Perfect.

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.
