A New Herb Garden


I visited Stephanie (Andrew's sister) at her new apartment in Westwood yesterday and gave her these herbs as a housewarming gift. She's a vegetarian and likes trying out different types of vegetarian recipes, so I thought she could use some herbs:) To make these, I used chalkboard spray paint on plain terra cotta pots and wrote the name of the herbs in chalk. This way, when the herbs get too big, she can plant them in bigger pots, erase the chalk, and grow new ones!

I had a great time hanging out with you Steph, next time we'll craft or go thrifting!

Inspiration : Sibella Court


I know it's been almost a year since this book came out, but I just recently discovered it. Everything inside is so beautifully captured, and the way Sibella Court displays her collection of curiosities gives me ideas on how to work with my own! Consider this added to my design book wish list.

Happy Bird Day


I decided to try out stitching on wood to make this birthday card, and I must say...it came out pretty cool! Happy belated birthday Mrs. Dunn!

A Very Special Birthday


Isn't this picture of my grandma and grandpa on his birthday adorable? We celebrated his 80th birthday early this past weekend, which was such a blast! And watching them dance and blow out the candles on his cake made my heart so happy.
Happy 80th birthday Grandpa, I love you so much!

Succulent Love


I have a new love...succulents! My friend/co-worker Helene and I have recently become obsessed, and I'm pretty sure we talk about plants everyday. A little weird, I know. But how can you not love these adorable, little guys? And the best part is that they don't require a lot of watering!


I visited my local Salvation Army and picked up some glass dishes (all 50% off!), and got to work planting. I even made a little terrarium :)




Isn't this pink one gorgeous? I think the contrast between the pink and the green glass cup is so great.



I hope you are all having a lovely weekend, and are inspired to plant something for the summer!
