gardening
I have a fantastic balcony at my apartment and have long been planning to get some plants and flowers out there. Now that I have spotted this amazing nautically inspired gardening set I think I am ready to get my hands dirty with soil. Nothing like good lookin’ tools to get inspired!
everyday is a celebration



These banter banners would be lovely for a party or just for everyday enjoyment. Why not live life surrounded by festive decorations!
coasters
now that we’ve found amazing placecard holders and napkin rings – how about throwing some fun coasters into the mix for pre-dinner drinks!

circa ceramics
Yesterday I spent the evening at International Center of Photography (before seeing Billy Elliott on Broadway). Yep, things get pretty fun when my parents come to visit, even when buried under 20 inches of snow. I always make time to peruse museum gift shops – the books, trinkets, totes, magnets, post cards – I always want them all. The ICP had a wonderful display of cups and mugs with the camera graphic (see top right) that caught my eye. I made note in my things to blog about notebook and when checking out circa ceramics today I was thrilled to see there are a variety of lovely images on these made to order mugs and bowls. Check out their etsy store here.

presidential snow


I have a special place in my heart for Washington DC since I lived there for a year and a half and now my sister calls DC home. As I am sure you have heard, the city has been hit with an unbelievable amount of snow in the past few days, and while I am sure this is tough on residents – it makes for some amazing pictures.

a few things retro
perhaps this post will satisfy my craving for a milkshake, some crispy french fries and few tunes from the juke box
under (or over) the sea


where would you rather sleep: under the sea or floating on top?

hold the phone
While I can’t complain about the convenience of having a phone that fits in my pocket, every once in a while I do get a bit nostalgic and wish I could pick up a classic handset, nuzzle it comfortably between my ear and shoulder and catch up with one of my friends for hours. I have seen other versions before, but these are by far the cutest. Designed by YUBZ the retro handset has adapters for both mobile phones and computers (which would make Skyping all the more fun). $39.95
