wishful wednesday.

hi dolls,
After yesterday's post about managing inspiration (so to speak), I thought I would share a few things & concepts I'm coveting right about now.


{wouldn't this Rainbow Stacker look swell in my den?}

{Kime Buzzelli's "Flapper" makes me smile.}


{This Floral Life- dress looks like it was made for me.}

{What a sweet "Circus" by Mati Rose.}

{Earl Grey Sandwich Cookies! Need I say more...?}


{You know I'm a sucker for a vintage Polaroid Land Camera.}

{The colors in this Obi belt are delicious.}

{This map would be perfect in Shyla's room. We *love* Canada.}

Now, I'm off to work on the new Sunrose Studio Etsy Shop! GRAND OPENING on MONDAY!

xxoo

pounced! Pitu7 Design.

Darlings, Someone needs to take my computer away from me...I want everything in Pitu7 Design's shop. I am a true jewelry-lover, and the sweet, modern designs of Pitu7 Design's rings have me swooning. The amethyst ring featured below is *so* me. {They offer a watermelon tourmaline ring that is also on my "please buy me this for my birthday" list.} But enough about me already, the creator of these beautiful pieces comes from Sumatra, Indonesia and a long line of Batak people famous for their hand-crafted arts. Definitely check out the Pitu7 Design shop.

{amethyst & blue diamond ring.}

big love to tuesday.

dears, i just finished my final critique in drawing. we critiqued final projects-- mine was the mudra project. it was so much fun, and it was a lot of work. i created ten drawings: five of actual mudras (some of which are featured below, in yesterday's post) and five of the mudras in context (i.e., attached to a body and depicting energetic properties of the mudra as well). i'll post pix later, but for now, i simply must tell you of happy things.

1. eggnog lattes. {i just had my first. super yummy.}
2. my newest art acquisition. {it's an ode to the golden girls. i love it. the artist ellen "elloh" lohse is just the bees knees, in my opinion.}
3. bk & i are keeping on our early morning workout schedule. {he kicks my butt when it comes to sit ups.}
4. cuddling shyla {my dogger} at least 18 minutes a day boosts immunity in addition to making us both supremely happy.
5. enya's holiday album. {magic.}

dears, i cannot tell you how excited i am to begin holiday gift-giving. my theme for this year is "instant happy."my goal for each gift is that its recipient will have and instantaneous bolt of joy just by gazing upon the gift. i thought i'd give you a few examples of instant happy to illustrate this principle.

{Can you imagine the smiles this ring would bring the the face of a photo-phile?}
