PAPER ME PRETTY

I need to get out of this winter funk and there is no better way than adding a little bit of spring inspired wallpaper into my life. I have the worlds smallest closet that needs some pizazz so I can not wait to tackle that project. I will keep you posted once it is finished! Wish me luck.

GREAT INSIPATION

Audrey Kawaski Art

A few years back, I was browsing the Barns & Nobles magazine section while sipping on my Starbucks coffee(I can never get too much Starbucks). Flipping through some random mag, I came across Audrey Kawasaki's unusual art work. I actually purchased the magazine for her article alone. I clipped out her article and pasted it to my inspiration book where I frequently look at it for some creative inspiration.

I love that you see the wood grain through her semi transparent artwork. Her delicate brushstrokes and feminine qualities she portrays in her pieces are defiantly something to admire. Check out her web site.

EERO IS MY HERO!

If you know me, then you are aware that winter sports or any sports for that matter, is not my thing. I was not gifted with pep or flexibility, but I can certainly appreciate someone who is. That person happens to be Eero Ettala. I stumbled upon his show (Tracking Eero)by accident, but have been hooked ever since.

Born in Finland, he has dominated the sport of snowboarding worldwide. For me, its not the snowboarding that draws me in, although he is gifted with tricks, but the music/traveling that he does. He was given the golden ticket. Traveling where and when he wants to, taking friends and colleagues through sometimes remote destinations so he can bring something new to the sport. I do love travel shows, but his comes with a twist.... he is sexy as hell! Eye candy if you will. Watch Sunday nights on Fuel TV 9:30pm central time.

MY KIND OF VALENTINE

This is a "get to the point" card, and I LOVE it. I am all set for Valentines day. Check out the other options at Renegade Handmade.

A FRENCH SUNDAY

I took a little film class a few years back, and was lucky enough to stumble upon the brilliant film Amelie or Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain). I was hooked! Its is the perfect way to spend your Sunday afternoon while folding laundry, at least that's what I am doing. I can not live with out this film in my collection and hope you become as inspired to think outside the box in your day to day life as Amelie does.

ALL I WANT FOR V DAY IS.....LANNA!

I love dazzling lanna! Well, there is not much to write about; these pictures say it all. All handcrafted and one of a kind, these bags are simply, well..... amazing. I am obsessed with her esty store and I think you will be too.

FINDING TREASURE

Over the weekend, I discovered this amazing architectural treasure trove. If you love to find something old and beautiful and transform it into usable objects, then this is the place for you. The Heritage Co. is three storefronts wide of unique interior objects. Weather you are looking for an old window to transform into a coffee table, or antique glass doorknobs to spice up your space, you will find it here. Happy hunting!!!!!
