Oh Anthropologie, how do you do it? The store windows at the Pearl District store always amaze but these stopped me in my tracks. So beautiful! They've made an underwater coral display out of paper plates, coffee filters, and Q-tips dipped in wax. It's really quite amazing. Love.

Shelter Co.
Hey there! Long time no blog. Well, I've had a bit going on in Baby Land. But I came across this little gem the other day that got me excited about posting again. Shelter Co. This is it. This is what I want to do. What a perfect blending of design and the outdoors. I love the care box complete with gourmet smores, hatchet and glass water bottle. The big question is where ever could we set something like this up??? :)

Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co.
Schoolhouse Electric opened a new Portland flagship store in November. Located in deep industrial Northwest Portland I had to seek it out. And when I saw the sign painted across the front of their building I felt kind of giddy like the first time seeing the spires of the Disney castle. Inside did not disappoint. They've done a beautiful job and I covet most of their products. I tried to feature a few of my fav's here. That couch, those candelabras, the canvas organizer! I want to fill my house. If you live in Portland, go check it out.

Shaping The Void
Beautiful new work by Deirdre McLoughlin for her current solo show at the NCG in Kilkenny, Ireland. In a recent interview for The Irish Times:
“That a work is beautifully poised is important to me,” she says. But the appreciation of poise stems from something more than sculpture as such. “I dance,” she says, “I mean, I’m no dancer, but I enjoy dance.” In Ireland she attended Kalichi’s dance workshops. “I’ve learned more about form through dance than from drawing. That’s where the feeling in the work of being alive comes from.”
I love to think of her work with a dancer's poise. That's exactly it. And here she is in her amazing studio on Prinseneiland.

Waiting for Baby Parker
It's true, there's a little peanut on the way. 2 more weeks to be exact, if these things can be exact. We've been using Pico for the in utero name. The baby corner is decorated and ready to go. There's even a tiny little chair waiting for it's new owner. And because we don't know if it's a boy or a girl, "It's a Pico!" seems the best exclamation at this point. Thanks Sandymontana for making us such a cute little banner. And Pico, we can't wait to meet you!

Catskill Mountain Cabin
A lovely Italian couple found this weekend getaway in the Catskill Mountains. A 32 acre apple orchard with a stone farmhouse and several barns. They're just getting started but I love where they're going. So much beatiful wood and glass and stone. Oh my!
Read more here. And thanks to my friend Norm for passing this along to me!

Ahhh Iceland
Someday I'm going to find this place. Until then I'm going to daydream.
