Gotta Have Heart.
Ork Posters, who brought us the Neighborhood Posters series, has a new print out – Gotta Have Heart. Pretty good, right? Yeah, I think so, too.

I don’t like gourmet cooking…
A few months ago I ran a giveaway featuring The Left Handed Calligrapher (aka Nicole). The winner got to work with Nicole on their favorite quote or poem. Our winner, Liz, chose a great quote by James Beard and Nicole knocked it outta the park with her script in the Keegan font. I’m in love with the end result!

Sebastian Sofa Chair.
I have a pretty sweet leather chair in the corner of my office. But something comfy like this Sebastian Sofa Chair is so much more inviting, not to mention inspiring. I wonder if it’s big enough for me to curl up and cat nap on? That might push me over the edge.

On the Rocks: Raspberry + Watermelon Sparklng Iced Tea.
Today is one of those days where I either need to take a nap or start drinking early. (Neither of which is possible – drat!) If I were to go with the latter option I’d want to imbibe in something summery and light… like a pitcher of Raspberry and Watermelon Sparkling Iced Tea. Yes, this could be just what the doctor ordered!
Ingredients:
• 4 C boiling water
• 3 raspberry tea bags
• 1 C raspberries
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/2 C sugar
• 2 tbsp Raspberry Liquor
• 4 C watermelon, chilled, pureed/strained
• 3 C sparkling wine, chilled (optional if the kiddies are joining you)
To the boiling water add the tea bags, 1/2 the raspberries, cinnamon stick, sugar and liquor. Let stand. Remove the cinnamon stick after 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags after 10 minutes. Let the tea mixture come to room temperature. Chill for 2 hours. Strain the tea mixture into a glass pitcher. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine strainer. Add the watermelon juice to the tea and mix well. To serve, fill a tall glass 2/3 with the raspberry/watermelon tea. Top the glass with cold sparking wine. Garnish with raspberries and watermelon cubes. Serves 9.

MOR Cosmetics.
MOR Cosmetics is the brainchild of Australian designers, Dianna Burmas and Deon St.Mor. Thanks to their combined experiences in visual merchandising and industrial design, as well as a shared love for travel, food and the arts a brand was launched. MOR, meaning peacock in Hindi, is as luxurious to look at as it is to use.

Light + Airy Haven.
This bedroom is the picture of relaxation and escape. A big, fluffy white bed. Airy white sheers. Pale walls with a few sparse accents. And oh yes, that french press full of coffee sitting on the bed… who wouldn’t want to wake up to that every single morning?
