zap them

for me it's been a hectic week (but a good kind of hectic) & surrounding us these days are crazy news stories and news paper headlines that are head scratching to be sure. i'm trying to stay focused, positive and full of hope and love. these just inspired me today. they make me feel good...

(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
try to stay positive! just saying...
enjoy!

ways to display

the australian-based shop mr kitly (named after founder bree claffey's cat) is chock full of carefully curated goods for the home, a "thoughtful and considered collection of functional objects in ceramic, wood, and metal" and my favorite part of what they offer (at least right now!) are their vases and vessels, offering up pretty ways to display cut flowers...

wouldn't these be pretty on a holiday table? also great gift ideas! just saying...enjoy!

collage inspiration

i've been drawn to some of the curious and fabulous collage mashups lately on pinterest. here are a few current (floral) favs...

they kind of get my creative juices flowing...enjoy!

summer & flower power

i'm savoring the last days of summer, noticing the flowers fading, along with the summer light. i want to surround myself in flowers, to make it last, to make them last...

(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13)
what about you? how are you making these last days of summer last? do flowers do the same thing for you that they do for me? on my runs i notice them everywhere, i look for them in everyone's yard, in my house they give me tons of positive energy just being around them. wishing they would last all year. just saying...enjoy!
