Apparently all you have to do to make me want something is make it look like candy, especially when it comes to jewelry. These pieces from Portland-based Sticks and Stones are mesmerizing.{via Poppytalk}
Note to self: I really need a dual finger ring…
Posted In jewelry, wear itI’ve talked several times before about my love of/addiction to new notebooks. I’m not sure if it’s something related to designer/creative types or the just the more heavily organized side of my personality, but I love a clean slate. That first page is always the toughest, I don’t want to mar its vast white landscape with my writing. (Sometimes I skip it entirely. Shhh.) But after that it’s smooth sailing, and I can’t help but wonder what ideas will blanket its pages.

I know I’m not exactly behind the eight ball on this one, but I’m all about these faceted drawer pulls from Pigeon Toe’s new collection. In fact, I’ve been scouring Craigslist for a new-to-me dresser that I can use them on.

Moa baskets are handmade by Marcel Basau and Eva Marquerre. The team uses a techinique in which elastic yarn is woven on a wooden stretcher and covered in resin, then the stretcher is pressed down over a form and secured until dry. Voila, a basket is born.

DIY Fire Extinguisher Vase from Wit & Whistle
This past Sunday I went to a bridal shower for a good friend, her mom used to be a florist and blooms were everywhere. As I was leaving they handed me a vase that had been on one of the tables to take home. I never realize just how much I love having fresh flowers in my house until they’re actually there. Then the entire space feels lighter and brighter, and I’m happier.
My vase collection consists mainly of the glass variety, in all shapes and colors. My favorite is a clear short one that says You are my sunshine on the side. I think I paid three dollars for it in college. I love the beauties sitting up top there.
Posted In accessories, grow it, house and home, make itOne of my favorite parts of the design blogging community is the rampant creativity that gets shared. A lot of this shines through in do-it-yourself projects that people take the time to figure out, organize, and explain. And lately? Just wow. The past week alone has been a minefield of amazing ideas that I can’t wait to bring into my own home and wardrobe.

A few weeks ago I undertook the task of purging/organizing my jewelry box. It had been living in my closet, but I tend to only wear what’s out and accessible so that didn’t seem very smart. I pulled together a few little white bowls and dishes for rings and bracelets, got out my necklace tree, and moved it all to my dresser. I even found a few earring displays I had squirreled away somewhere. Now I can see all of my favorite pieces and accessorize accordingly.
I really like these jewelry stands from Polli, both are made from salvaged wood and look like pieces of miniature folding art.

Not to say I told you so (even though I kind of did), but watercolor is taking the world by storm this spring. The latest suspect is this set of dessert plates and platter from West Elm’s summer line.
