Rikshaw Scarves !

I ADORE Rikshaw's CLASSIC KURTAS and 

wear mine like uniforms in the Spring!

Was tickled pink, ok, maybe aqua,

when I saw these SCARVES on her Instagram!

Get Outta Town !

I've always been obsessed with this

little monkey image and did not realize that

IOMOI had a rewards program!

I'm in need of a new carry on tote and went online to see how much the extra large tote might be and finally get something with these sweet little guys. Well, low and behold, they have an "invite a friend to join" deal and you know how I love that. SO... use my LINK and let's order some cute stuff!!!

...Ok, back to work...

Stone Cold Crush . . .

~ Stone Rabbit Planter ~

TERRAIN has a beautifully edited 

outdoor and indoor planter section.

As HandyHusband and I try to hide our 

deck for yet one more year, I keep searching

for pretty planters...

~ antique patina low bowl ~

~ Antique Patina Egg Pot ~

I adore this ~ Antique Staddle Stone ~

We had some of these at Rooney Robison Antiques!

Why didn't I buy them? Ours were a bargain!

~ Gothic Lattice Planter ~

~ Wire Crate Flower Pot ~

~ Driftwood Floral Outdoor Rug ~

I also just saw this beautiful outdoor rug that

would do a great job hiding our ugly deck!

I think I remember seeing 

this exact one at Metrolina a few weeks ago!

The vendor also has a space at The Sleepy Poet.

Should I go fetch this for the big disguise? 

Bookcase Style . . .

{image: Habitually Chic}

I love the color coordination in this bookcase!

And love the little mirror hanging from the shelf.

HandyHusband and I have a little obsession with mirrors.

I've got a few little ones...

I think I should take them off the wall

and put them on a bookcase.

Right after I saw this picture today on Design Darling,

I got the itch for some new books with great spines.

Then, I went rummaging through my Crush Cul de Sac Archives...

{via HeadOverHeels}

...I found stacks 'n stacks of Interiors with stacks 'n stacks of books...

{via Lilipage}

{via intothewordless}

...Great Bookcases with GREAT ideas for Accessories...

{via ColorOutsideTheLines}

So, whether you're using books for elevation in a tablescape...

{via CasaTresChic}

or propping them up on your desk with memories,

I can't think of any interior accessory that

expresses your personality more.

I am thoroughly depressed now. 

I need a b'zillion books to stuff, turn backwards, stack, and cover...

I think I need some fun new bookcase clutter & shine too!

While I was pouting over the beautiful stacked books,

I found these sparkly things in Design Darling's online Boutique.

Love the lacquer tray, quartz bookends, votive,

and the amethyst rock is calling my name!

I think I've created a weekend of moving stuff around.

How about you? Gonna shuffle your stuff?

I can't leave a bookcase post without this image.

If you don't have one, paint one.
