HAPPINESS IS...

Pottery Poems

How pretty are these ceramic vessels by Australian potter, Kylie Johnson? She hand-stamps her own poetic musings onto each piece. I love this idea. I think we could all benefit from being more thoughtful while we dine, don't you?  :)

Living In A Vintage Shop

  

Whenever I walk into a well-styled vintage shop, I always imagine how cool it would be to live there. This loft looks like a mid-century retail furnture store, but it's Kelly's actual home. What do you think? Too much vintage? Or just right?

Home Sweet Home

I'm back! We had a wonderful time in LA. The wedding was a success and I got to hang out and catch up with all my old buddies. But I have to say, it sure feels good to crash in my own bed. And coming home to gorgeous Seattle weather doesn't hurt.

Don't you love Elisabeth's watercolor states? She also does countries and provinces. I'm always on the lookout for WA and CA prints and these ones have such a romantic appeal.
