Insta - Crush !

I am totally smitten with these little

Simone Ceramique "Love Houses" for votive candles 

made in Israel from LINEN & MILK!

Each house is different and signed by the artist.

I ran across them on INSTAGRAM somehow

and went down the rabbit hole of following links.

They are adorable and I want every single one!

The little laundry house kills me!

All Her " Pretty Stuff "

Pimlico Magazine featured 

Patterson's workspace full of all her "PrettyStuff!" Very cool! 

I'm pretty sure we know where she got the pink Lafco candle, 

the Dana Gibson canvas pouch and her 

Rifle Paper Co. thank you notes!

Cottage Chic strikes again!

Oh and thanks for the shout out on the dishes and the jewelry link!

Patterson is my best customer! I guess you could say 

she has a permanent discount code!

Sure Hope It's Made Well . . .

...cuz you know I'm gonna want that sheep sweater!

I already had one on my list of things to knit!

so...I'll probably create my own version of the sheep sweater, 

but these two... sooo cute.

...NEED vs WANT...

always an issue, right?

New Playground . . .

Ok, I resisted long enough.

I popped over and had a little play-date @ {Polyvore}

It was fun, but I can't figure out how to use the little clip tool.

It won't work for me...which means I'll probably lose interest pretty soon.

And just so ya know, I doubt I'd wear that heart T, but it was cute in my collage ツ

OK, back to work!

Alive After 5 . . .

A link to these adorable dresses

showed up in my inbox today.

❖ Donna Morgan ❖

They look like great Friday dresses when you 

need to cross the week's finish line and go straight

to meet your friends to start the weekend.

They are made of Polyester and Spandex.

Normally, that would worry me a little,

but the prints are so sassy, I think they are worth a look!

And chances are, they're going to look the same at 8pm as they

did at 8am when you put it on.

Poetic Color . . .

...CRAZY for the COLOR...

...CRAZY for the SHAPE...

...CRAZY for the STYLE...

...CRAZY for the DRAPE...

...CRAZY for the COLORS I SEE...

...CRAZY for ITALY...

Bookcase Style . . .

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...

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

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.
