So Inspired

Hello everyone. I hope everyone hear in America had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did, and I'm thankful for the time spent with family and friends. Admittedly, I am still in holiday mode, so I am not in the mood to be rushed. This video of artist Etsuko Ichikawa's work is both inspiring and soothing at the same time. Hope you enjoy it!

There Goes a Narwhal!

 Recently, I rediscovered "Rock Lobster" by the B-52's (it appeals to my ridiculous sense of humor). Anyway, one of my favorite parts is the lyric, "There goes a narwhal!" For the longest time I didn't even know what a narwhal was! Well, I was thumbing through an Anthropologie magazine, and what do I see? A narwhal Christmas ornament!! Ha ha, I must have one. I'm also loving the funny little guy below.

(P.S. If you've never heard "Rock Lobster" check it out. It will make you smile today)

I Want This House!!!!

 This weekend, I had one of those OMG moments. I was reading through a fabulous blog called, Miss Moss and found this incredible home. I think my heart skipped a beat! It was featured in Life Magazine in 1958. The house was designed by Donald E. Hustad as his own residence. 

 Imagine the fabulous cocktail parties that could go on here!

Ahh, so wonderful! Find more images at Miss Moss.

Feeling Vintage

 I think I'm having some sort of withdrawal symptoms. I need a vintage fix. The more worn and rusty the better, please. These lunch boxes remind me of my childhood. Maybe the metal boxes started my love of rusty things?

I also love worn and buttery leather!

 Perpetual calendar

These old springs make amazing decorative objects.
