I wish I had a bigger picture, but you get the idea, great soft blue ground with a large graphic koi and Lucite feet. I love the blue with the orange, it's really striking. This picture was the only info I could find out about it, I guess it's so new that they haven't updated the website.

This YSL platform pump just may be the world's most perfect shoe. They are too fab for words. I have been swooning over these shoes forever, okay well, since I first saw them a few months ago. And now they are on sale, of course I don't have an extra $479 laying around for shoes. And sadly, I currently do not have the lifestyle to justify them. So I guess I'll keep dreaming. Ahhhhh.... *special bonus* - they have turquoise soles - double swoon!

"Blooming Branch Jewelry Stand"These are just a few of my favorites. I think a couple of these mixed and matched on the dresser or vanity would be perfect. There are a lot more options online, check them out here. Did I mention all are extremely affordable?

pop over to Smithsonian's website and check out some photos from the Hubble Space Telescope, they are breathtaking! I'm wondering why someone hasn't turned some of these into rugs or even printed lining for jackets, etc (though if I'm not mistaken Escada had something similar a few years back as lining, I'll have to find that picture).Photo via NASA and Smithsonian
I want this!
Lovely lobster printed canvas pillow - $88
Silver Sea Life collection (sadly all but the lobster have sold out - that was quick!)
Silver Plated Shells - $28 each or $75 for the set of 3
Super cute Printed Sea Life Outdoor Pillows - $78 each (on sale) Wow! I think I'm seeing a trend of me really liking ocean things - perhaps this is not a design trend but a need for a vacation at the beach!

They also featured this bracelet that goes with it - unfortunately it sold out very quickly - (it is beautiful) oh well.

I've been wanting a t-shirt from Johnny Cupcakes for a while now, I love the logo combination of a cupcake and crossbones. I think this may be the one that I finally get. I'd better act fast, as they sell out quick and almost all are limited editions. So much fun!Image from Johnny Cupcakes

Worthy of an embroidered pillow...

This is really a great find. I ran across it at the Liberty Antiques Festival in Liberty, NC (right outside of Greensboro - held twice a year in April and September). I was on the fence about purchasing, but I'm so glad I did. It's a very groovy, 50's style boomerang dish with the signs of the Zodiac around the edge with this atomic world/clock thing in the middle. The shape grabbed me first followed by the colors, lovely spa teals (almost grey). It's just a fun piece in fabulous condition. It now lives in the master bedroom, right beside this cup.Monday, May 11, 2009

When the tour of the main house and the guest house (who knew there was a guest house - whose interior I fell in love with along with the gorgeous wisteria hanging off the roof) was over I made a beeline for the gift shop ready to spend. And spend I did - books, cards and best of all these wonderful earrings:
They are wonderful because suspended in each one is a piece of concrete saved during the restoration of Fallingwater (the rest is acrylic and silver - they not at all heavy). I can't tell you how many people have commented on them when I wear them, and I just love telling the story. How fantastic to have a piece of this house that you can wear - they also make pendants and cuff links too. They are one of my prized possessions and my "go to" earrings that look great with everything. They are a special souvenir of a great day and a great piece of architecture!

This weekend I visited the first (I hope there are many more) Hatch Market. There were some wonderful vendors and I ran across this necklace from Grey Area - yes, it's an actual orange slice dried and sealed. The necklaces are stunning in person and certainly conversation starters! Such fun!

I'm a Jonathan Adler fan - big time. Love his book, love the way he interprets things, love his partner, love his dog, etc. Big fan! I love the new glasses he's come out with, mostly for the color! How great are these colors? Image from JonathanAdler.com
