Yep, that’s Matthew Crawley as an Australian Shepherd. Spot on, right? He’s a TOTAL Australian Shepherd. I think it’s both the puppy dog eyes AND the soft jawline. And Lady Mary makes a lovely Borzoi, don’t you think? Ahhhh, this is inspired. The Dowager Countess Sphinx Cat. {Kim Parkhurst’s “Houndton Tabby” collection via Toadbriar} So far, my best decision of… Read more →

The World Spins Madly On
These painted orbs from ImagineNations are just about the coolest spin on a globe I have ever seen (pun yes intended. revel in it.) Anyway, I said just about. I went digging through the depths of the internet and found a few solid contenders. …continue reading… {Facebook me?} Read more →
Technology Rules
Unplug, unplug, unplug. I know. [I keep saying it too.] Technology is frying our brains and taking samurai-swings at our work/life balance, and all kinds of terrible things, but be honest…YOU LOVE IT. I love it. I mean, I’m at its mercy and it is my master and all that, but if Siri could shower for me I’d download that… Read more →
Summertime Blues
I know we’re supposed to be talking about winter wonderlands and mistletoe and all, but I have a cold (yes again) and aren’t these like the cutest swimmers for tinys (tinies?) you’ve ever seen? My friend Cariann invited me to join a Pinterest board for pretty kid things and when I got there, she’d already pinned the adorable sun suit… Read more →
3D Dinosaur Cookie Cutters? Awesome.

And if you’re feeling really festive, turns out good ‘ol Nordic Ware makes Holiday versions too!. (And Zoo!) Read more →
So Pretty I’m Furious About It
I’m always in the market for new throw pillows. Mostly because I’m always sure that redecorating is just what I need to get my life on track. Turns out Lindsey Lang has designed some crazy gorgeous ones…let the detour begin. I think the “Sunny Day” patterns are my favorite. But then I stumbled across the Lindsey Lang floor and wall… Read more →
In The Heat Of The Night
Despite my total inability to locate the pretty spiked rings in last week’s post, it turns out my sister-in-law actually owns the set (which, incidentally is by Noir Jewelry) and my friend Alex noticed that it was going on sale as part of Gilt Groupe’s Cyber Monday event. What are the odds? IT’S LIKE FATE, SCOTT. As it turns out,… Read more →
Miscellany Monday
Tempaper’s new(ish) “Zee” pattern {via Urban Outfitters} I’ve done a Tempaper wall myself and it really is pretty easy. This picture of a mannequin I came across in my weird work a while back and have had on my desktop ever since. I just love it. {via chasecc’s Flickr} Loogs 3-String Guitar Building Kit for Kiddos — I think Dee’s… Read more →
I Need Black Wedges (Yes, I Do Mean Need.)
I never buy new shoes. Like, EVER. Because the investment terrifies me, and I want to pick good ones. Which kind of makes outfits hard because while I have a closet full from my serious shopaholic days, my feet grew two sizes in pregnancy and I don’t have the pain tolerance to suck it up. Anyway, it has become apparent… Read more →
Is It A Sin to Lust After a Chair?
I don’t even need a new chair. I like our current living room chair as more than a friend as it is. And yet, somehow this Rhys chair from Anthropologie called out to me from across the internet, and made me find it, and created lust in my heart. Dammit. I know I’m a married woman, but I can’t stop… Read more →
