I HEART CRAIGSLIST

Found these awesome old bar stools on craigslist this week for $40. Love.

TABLES

We finally, finally got around to buying a dining room table this past weekend! Now I am trying to decide what I want to do about chairs. Above are some of my favorite inspiration photos I pulled from Desire to Inspire.

THE NEW PAD

As promised, here are a few pics of our new place. We love love love it! It feels like a little piece of brooklyn in Austin. At some point I will post pics of what our stuff looks like in it (due to laziness I am posting pics that our landlord took of the property).

ET VOILA

Pretty french vintage labels via the Graphics Fairy.

SIMRIN

Some of the new housewares form Simrin. I adore the little bunny glass and the burlap placemats!

ALYSON FOX

Love these illusrtrations by Alyson Fox! They were featured as part of this month's Austin Rare Magazine.

TOAST

A few gorgeous images from the Toast.

CLUTCHING

It seems to be wedding season in Austin, so I have accessories on the brain. I'm loving all things metallic or embellished....

FEELING GEOMETRIC

Whipped up some a few little geometric patterns for you this morning.

Happy Tuesday! (this is my Monday as my office hours are currently Tues-Sat....still getting used to it).

I have been obsessed with the Be Well Red Tea packaging for a while now. Every time I pass that row of brightly colored tea canisters with their catchy little titles I always stop. I finally bought a few yesterday. Now I want them all. I'm such a sucker.

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

It's been sunny and pleasantly warm this week, basking in the morning sun at our new place and trying to forget that it gets dark so early!

I'M BACK!!!!

Hi hi Hi!!

I am excited to be back and can't wait to get back into the swing of posting regularly again!

Hopefully I haven't lost all my loyal readers during my brief hiatus. I'm happy to say that I am settled into a fab new place and I'll post pics when we get completely unpacked.

I've been crazy busy over that last month, lots of new projects brewing that will be so much fun to share. Finalizing wedding invitation designs has been at the top of the list lately and I'd thought I'd share a little preview of my favorite inspiration. I'm diggin' flowers and a warm palette of corals, tangerines and yellows.
