Bridal Bouquets - Clean and Green

1. Funky Bridal Bouquet, 2. calla lily bridal bouqet, 3. stylish greens and browns

I've got flowers on the brain today, which got me thinking about bridal bouquets.  Specifically something different and unique.  These all have a very natural, clean and green quality about them.

I came across this the artwork of Catherine Campbell this morning on Etsy and was immediately smitten with her work.  I have a soft spot for pen and ink drawings and her combination with watercolor are beautiful.  I love the subtle details that pop up as you keep looking further at the pieces.  Catherine's work keeps your eye moving and your mind exploring -  qualities that I love in artwork.  You can check out her shop here.  And her blog here.  Enjoy.

Who knew Disney made rugs?

Did you know Disney makes rugs?  Who would have thought, but yes indeed they do have a rug collection.  And there isn't a Mickey or Pluto reference anywhere.  You can find their collection here.

Boston in 26 Hours

We just returned from a "how fast can you visit a city" session in Boston.  Yes, 26 hours to tour the entire city.  We originally had another day squeezed in there, but two members of our team were sick.  I made them come anyways.  What I liked about Boston was the juxtaposition between old and new, traditional and modern.  We had glorious weather and everyone in Boston was camped out in the Commons.  Here are a few shots of our trip, plus my kids and I on Harvard's campus.  Nothing like a little early college touring.

Coffee anyone...

Bench/Ottoman Ideas from Anthropologie

I've been looking for a small bench for my livingroom.  It would mostly be used during parties where people would sit, rather than sprawl out.  I like the Moroccan elements of these two pieces from Anthropologie.

The Art of Cookbook Covers

If you are a foodie, or even if you aren't - what kind of cover pulls you in?  I love clean spare covers with great photography.  I find the simpler the cover the more I am drawn to it.  Usually great covers reveal a treasure of a cookbook in terms of recipes and fantastic product shots.
