little vignettes and other home stuff that's inspiring me tonight

some of the jewelry i've been digging for recently.  i keep it in a mint colored silver ware organizer.

an odd & dear assortment of bits that i'm hearting.  (bek, i found that giraffe you've been talking about - it's a friend for the yellow bird squeezie ... )

care for a magazine or cup of tea? me too.  p.s. --- long live a properly pillowed sofa.

white plates and yellow flowers.

this is the new hunker down corner ... walk in, drop the purse, stare out the window, fret over baby names ...

pink roses make any sort of chaotic coffee table look yummy.

vintage drying rack by the sink.

I'm hearting now.

Earrings that look feathery from Anthro.  I didn't buy them.  yet...

Strong coffee and cream from my favorite new milk glass.





"Cloud" Revlon fast dry polish
(like 60 seconds fast)



Prepster LL Bean thrifted bag that's awesomely huge and holds everything!

Big & bright bag my friend Julie gave me.  Label says "Miss Albright".  LOVE.



Fancy Easter chocolate in pretty green foil from Fran's.



A page from my vintage flower book

bucket of green bottles

My terrarium.  Obsessed.



Straw hat to remind us of warmer days.



page from vintage flower book

Blingy bag with yummy soft leather straps.  When not in use, it sparkles up a big mirror.



Jasmine plant, etc.



Good reads.

Paris tea and other favorite possessions.



Our new cow skull.  A little avant garde, but it's actually very classic seeming in "real" life.



My pink & navy spot pillows made by Elizabeth.  Amazing. 

Blood orange Italian soda.  Delicious with sparkling water and or vodka.

This bird mug is just so.  So awesome.  I still can't believe I found it.  It's unusual and and fragile looking until you cup it in your hand, then it's sturdy and old feeling.  Hello, Goodwill.  Sometimes you do me perfect.

Trader Joe's wheat & herb pizza crust.  I like you.

Decedance.  Belle Pastry in Old Bellevue.  I love that they wrap their pastry boxes with bright pink ribbon.

This is my luxury yummy right now; "paris" tea from Harney & Sons.  It's a black tea with vanilla and caramel flavors, with a hint of lemony bergamot and it comes in "sachets".  Oh, ok, pretty ness.  Totally, utterly divine. Doesn't need sugar or cream or any other sort of fiddling, and in one of my fav cups, it's just dreamy.

Some of my tea cups that make the cut.

Serving an almond tart from (where else?) Belle Pastry, for a lovely lady's 40th birthday.  Whoo hoo.
Another fav has been this embroidered peasant top bc it goes with everything.

Obsessed.  I am completely in awe of this lip stain.  It's the strangest, most wonderful thing ... looks green but goes on pink and stays put.  And looks awesome, with an awesome non-texture feeling.  I think it's from Morocco?  And this is my new zebra stripe-thrifted make-up bag which is suede and feels super lux.  Lastly, but not leastly, this strand of white and gold beads rocks.  It wraps around my wrist and clasps in a sec.  Have barely taken it off since I scored it ...  (bracelet & lip beloved from Margot ... gracias times a thousand. xx)
