the bold minimalist

Keri's new etsy shop has a sweet idea behind it—each piece she makes is named after a person that inspires her, and she shares a little bit of the story behind each one. I love that! And she even named one for me! Her shop has a nice variety between bold and neutral colors, so you're sure to find something you like. Don't miss the children's clips, they're adorable.

paper (can you believe it??) flowers and feathers

My amazing cousin made these arrangements for her recent wedding—aren't they stunning? I've never seen crepe paper look so good. And those feathers! Wow. The good news is that she is selling them at a ridiculously low price!! (no seriously, ridiculously low, and the price includes vases and moss) The details are right here.

Perfect for a Thanksgiving centerpiece, no? She said price is negotiable, so maybe quantities would be as well...

Bellerose

This catalog came from Bellerose in Belgium. It was full of gorgeous spreads, and I loved how unique it was. I mean, how often do you see high fashion catalogs done (and done well) on newsprint? Beautiful.

Lately I've been getting lots of mail from Europe (exciting huh?), and it's fun looking at all of the stamps I've never seen. How cute is the little monster sticker sealing that envelope? I've been trying to collect clothing catalogs to use for school, and some that show up from these European companies are beautiful. I'll share a few later on.

wolf hoodie costume

This was my attempt at the Martha Stewart wolf costume. I never realized how awesome hoodies could be for Halloween, and I'm anxious to get creative and make more in the future. But yesterday there was no time for creativity (that sounds so sad), as I had to throw this together in about an hour and a half before my first Halloween party.

Not everyone (or anyone really) could tell that I was a wolf. One guy asked if I was a shark...a shark?...really??? and someone else asked, "uh...are you a weasel or something?" Getting closer, at least at that point we were talking about land animals with four legs.

My favorite is how it looks from behind when the hood is off my head. Makes me feel like Max. I tried to get mischievous like Max and peek over the fence to scare the neighbor's dog, but before I even got my head over the dog barked really loud and scared the bajeebies out of me. I'm not a very good wild thing yet.

ahhh fall

Beautiful home don't you think? Absolutely perfect for fall.

White

The last of the light, summery whites (but honestly, probably not just because I love them so much). What I really should be doing is getting out and photographing autumn around here—I think it's been the most amazing autumn I've seen in my life. Brilliant reds and yellows, and crispy leaves all over the ground. So lovely.

One of the prettiest blogs on the block.

For another school project, I'm working a lot with calligraphy and it's really making me want to learn how to do it myself. Gorgeous isn't it? Top image from Laura Hooper, middle from Once Wed, and bottom from Grace Edmands.

Oliver Furniture

I'm in the middle of designing a childrens' magazine for school, so I've consequently been coming across some incredible websites for children products. Don't these spaces from the Danish shop Oliver Furniture look amazing? So clean and beautiful.
