The Color Purple

Here is an inspiration board of all things purple. I'm not suggesting anyone wear all these items at once! It's just a collection of finds from the internet that I find lovely.

1. The purple leather cuff can be found on squidoo.com

2, 3, 4. The fabulously flirty dress, necklace and pillow may all be found at Anthropologie

5. I found the Sasha bobby pins very charming found at Etsy store NinjaBowTique

6. These shoes are simply fabulous and eco-friendly to boot. I own a similar pair. They are made of natural silk with certified organic cotton laces and souls made from recycled car tires. I love mine. Simple Shoes.

7. I fell in love with this rings simplicity and deep color. You can find it in Etsy at UntamedStone's shop.

I found this fabulous lamp while browsing through the Anthropologie site today.  It is the most delicate and whimsical lamp I have ever seen. See the Chateau Lamp at http://www.anthropologie.com

Can you call this typography? I think you can. I shot this while on a hike with the family last year. It has my initials in it, so that's why I took the shot. They were high up in the tree, so they must be about pretty old. It's fun to think about the people who made the marks and if whomever hearted Sean still does. I did feel sorry for the tree, but it seemed to be healthy despite all the scarring.

This was taken in my back yard. I love the vibrant fuschia color against the blurred bright green background. It makes me happy!

Rug or art? I say both!

Is there nothing she can't do. Eva Zeisel is now creating flooring. Her art translates so wonderfully into any medium. These wonderful rugs are entirely handmade from the wool of Tibetan sheep. Available at The Rug Company. 

Eye Candy

Gum drops anyone? I love these gum drop pillows from Amy Butler. I admire her amazing sense of color and pattern. Sewing patterns are available at http://tinyurl.com/dkh7cd 

Summer Inspiration

Watermelon means summer to me. I have fallen in love with this particular watermelon. Its name is PureHeart and you can see why, the lovely little heart shaped surprise when you cut into it.
