love these ceramic wall tiles, how cute!

Maruja Fuentes has designed green pockets using recycled materials.
Spotted at the 2009 Milan Furniture Fair,
the super-cool ceramic tiles attach to any wall to create the illusion
that whatever’s inside—herbs, plants, a floweror two—
is growing directly out of a room’s surface.

wow! this is amazingly awesome!!! artist jennifer marsh was
tired of seeing the abandoned eyesore on a daily basis. so she
decided to cover this old gas station in fabric. with the help of artists
& grade-school students marsh covered the citgo station pumps,
light stands, signs and all. with more than 3,000 fiber panels that
are crocheted, knitted, quilted or stitched together.

right now this is my absolute favorite necklace!!!
i found this a few weeks ago now... at the thrift store!
yeah! the thrift store. it was in a bin up at the front, where
you check out. i'm a sucker for impulse buys :)
the bin had a sign on it saying "$1.00"
i started rooting through the mess of tangled items when all
of a sudden i spotted the cute little owl!
i stood there for at least 5 mins. untangling the poor thing-
and it was worth it! i have worn the necklace everyday since
i found it! all i have to say is diamond in the rough!!!!

my dad has 48 ties to date! i think i bought him
11 ties out of the whole 48. i love the patterns! on most of
them, some i think are just plain ugly!!!!
i used to have to wear ties all the time when i was
waitressing- i have a pretty good tie collection myself.
for a girl anyways! i scanned all of my dads ties the other day.
i plan on making him a design out of them for his birthday gift.
i have a black frame i plan to use... when i'm all
finished i'll take a photo of it for you!!!

i absolutely love these pieces!!!! all the above by squint,
a great store located in east london. squint started in 2005
by lisa whatmough, a former sculptor and painter. her initial desire
was to showcase the antique textiles she had been collecting and
found that a fusion of period furniture and fabrics made for
unexpected one off pieces. the range comprises of items such as
victorian chaise longues and iconic Egg chairs and includes all types of
upholstered furniture as well as mirrors and lighting, each piece
bespoke incorporating a mix of contemporary and vintage fabrics.

my aunt betty had given me an old school desk a long time ago. i used it a
bunch when i was younger. but after years of hiding in my parents garage,
i finally decided to refinish my old desk! it used to have black iron legs and
the top is oak. i am still in the process...but i have painted all the iron
a crisp white, plus sanded the top. i just have to stain the top of the desk then
i am all done! i can't wait to see my desk all fixed up and brand new again!! :)
