B is for Birthday

Johnny is another year older today! Here is a shot of a couple of his birthday presents. He also got some great books and lots of tools. We hope your holiday is as good as ours has been so far. Enjoy the weekend and rest up to bring in the new year. Good night everyone.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve

I hope all of your holidays are as awesome as this photograph from meadow's flickr photostream! I can't wait to escape for awhile and be with our family who we love sooooooo much. Also, we're looking forward to meeting up with some old friends to ring in the new year!! Peace in 2009 friends.

mmmmmm

Love Coralie Bickford-Smiths book cover design. This image was taken from her design-related profile, and the color combinations are breathtaking. I am a sucker for a beautiful book.

I had something to tell you

I must be drawn to tints and shades of red and green lately. Wonder Why? "I had something to tell you" is a photograph from Bright Tal's flickr stream. I can't wait for holiday break!!!

A little drop

This necklace is so simple and classic. I rarely wear jewelry, but I would love something like this in my stocking for Christmas. Check out the rest of Lauren Haupt's locallibrary etsy shop.

Burrrrrrr

It's so unbelievably cold outside that it hurts. Although, the tones, color, and composition of this photo from Sarita Loilita's Flickr stream is enough to warm me up for the night. It's beautiful.

Blueberries and Pomegranates

I had grand ideas of being super productive today, but instead I spent most of the day in my pajamas. I did however make a very delicious blueberry crumble, which I ate with some frozen yogurt and loved every minute of. Speaking of love, I really enjoy the wallpaper that I posted above. This is 'Pomegranate' wallpaper designed by William Morris, produced by Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co in 1866. I found this image on dis-order-ed's flickr site and I think the color combination is delightful.

"this way"

This is a new series of miniature paintings that I have been working on titled "this way". Although the process has been a little tedious, it can also been somewhat meditative too. If your looking for a little direction in your life or know someone that could use some, this could be the perfect piece of art for you. The first couple paintings of this series will be up in our etsy shop in the next couple days. "This way" to our etsy shop!

Lovely

These are terrariums created by Christina of TheOakLeaves etsy shop. They are amazing little treasures that I would love to have in my home. Plus, Minnesota cold and winter is soon upon us and a little green can never hurt. I think I may try to make my own. If anyone has any suggestions on how to create and nurture a terrarium, shoot me an e-mail or write a comment. Good night and I hope that you have someone or something to make you smile this week.
