One Sweet Airport

Our layover at the Dallas Fort Worth airport (on our way to Europe) surprised us with options like an Ipod vending machine, Au bon pain, and L'Occitane and also an Express Spa.

These wedding shots by Max Wanger are gorgeous. This particular wedding has a very happy and charming feel to it. (Thanks Margaux)

dream studio

I think I have found my dream studio, on the Pottery Barn website! I do have a weakness for anything green, but I am also loving the look of this crisp white furniture, the clean black and white artwork, and the faux bois rug. It looks like the Pottery Barn line of paint colour is available in Canada now, at Benjamin Moore {although here, this same wall colour is called 'Jalapeno Pepper'!}.

And the windows and all of that light...the perfect studio space for sure!

a sweet weekend

Have a wonderful weekend! I hope it's as sweet as this beautiful packaging spotted at William's Sonoma {via the Dieline} which is just as yummy as it's contents I'm sure.

Although this weekend I think I will be missing Tina Fey's brilliant Sarah Palin portrayals on SNL. Let's hope there is just one more! Tina Fey, you are my hero.

Handmade Hellos

This book by Hello Lucky looks like one I would like to get my fingers on right away. Look at the amazing list of contributors!! (via Hello Lucky)

Sinking....

We've been in Germany for a bit now, and in fact today we passed by a Berlitz learning center in Munich which reminded me of this clip. It is kinda funny. :)

tea for just me!

I spent the weekend with my great friend in Montreal. She has been an environmentally aware, nature loving, animal adopting, vegetarian since before it was trendy! And being the ridiculously talented, creative artist that she is, pretty much everything in her adorable little apartment is hand-made, salvaged, re-purposed, and meaningful. Funnily enough however, the defining moment for me in that weekend was her drawer of cloth napkins. It was like a trip to design heaven in one little drawer. Every colour and pattern you could think of was there! It made me think a lot about the way I've been living. I do love the environment and always try and be conscious of my footprint but somehow it never occured to me that I was worthy of a cloth napkin. It just seemed so luxurious and I'm really not sure why! So in the name of the environment (and a smidgen of guilty pleasure) I gleefully made it my mission to use beautiful cloth napkins for my every day enjoyment. Why shouldn't I drink my tea in delicious indulgence while at the same time helping the environment? And so that is just what I did...and it felt great!

My lovely new chartreuse green linen napkin from Teatro Verde just happened to perfectly match my tea pot!
