have a fantastic week!

(via)

happy lead into fall, how are you feeling? i've been feeling very reflective, moving slow, sometimes frustrated by how much i'm not getting done in a day, especially when i've planned a very productive day full of creativity and progress on projects. hey, i'm sure you've all been there. but instead of beating myself up, i'm embracing the days and the process, what is meant to be accomplished will be. 

i hope that you start out the week embracing what you don't know is going to happen. sometimes the best moments emerge and changed paths are all that more interesting. 

and if you are interested, some fun finds from around the world wide web: 

so much lighting goodness here. but these swinging wall sconces are a dream.

here's to hoping you are enjoying the heck out of your long weekend! i will admit, like many of us, i'm in a sort of reflective mode as of late. jarring events in this country force an introspection, to arrange and work through feelings, anger, confusion, you name it. 

i hope that you are processing ok. that you are finding beauty around you. for me that's staying outside as much as i can. taking in everything in and around me that i am thankful for and more. so you'll find me listening to the chirping birds that wake me up every morning. reading curled up on the deck, embracing the warmth of the sun and the weight that it feels like it lifts while dave brubeck on shuffle plays in the background. sipping red wine slowly. and floating in my silly inflatable pool. because why not. 

and some fun finds from around the world wide web: 

just bought this summer bag. ( came just as it looked on line and so fun!)

how is your weekend going along? i'm outdoors as much as possible these days, soaking up the warm fall sun, watching the beach grass change from green to that fiery orange which is my favorite color just about. changing the beers in the fridge from light and summery to big flavorful IPA's from local brewers. 

i will miss summer like you read about, but i'm ready for the change. for comfy sweaters and my leather boots. for long walks on the beach without almost seeing anyone in sight. i'm hoping you are enjoying your weekend and the weather and all of the things that make you happy.

cold picnic: rug love

seriously loving the rugs coming out of cold picnic right now...

"cold picnic was formed in 2010 by partners phoebe sung and peter buer, both of whom have backgrounds in fine arts and worked in corporate fashion design" and you can see all of that in the pattern and color play. i am drawn to the ways in which color line or blocks of color are positioned or just how they align or smash up against one another. i also love the leaving of open color space in the rugs.

can i please have one of each? see more choices here & enjoy!

have a cozy weekend!
