Spring is in the House

Doesn't that white tulip seem to be wishing it was Spring outside too?

A Break in the Clouds

It was a dark & gloomy afternoon,



but up ahead, there was something much brighter.

Cappuccino with a 'Stache

Anyone else need an afternoon cappuccino?



You can even have first pick of mustache mugs. Cute huh? They are from Kimay's Etsy shop, & she makes plenty of other 'stache styles to choose from. A little happy + caffeine = a much more pleasant (& productive) afternoon.

*Oh, you can't make it over right now? It's ok, I will drink yours :)*

For Your Weekend

A dash of glitter:





apply liberally to brighten up your weekend.

Carte Blanche

Blank canvas?



Go ahead & put some art on it!

Vicinity Studio on Poppytalk Handmade!

The new Poppytalk Handmade "Love Transforms" Valentine & Wedding theme market is up, & Vicinity Studio is a part of it!

Seeing Vicinity Studio designs rubbing shoulders with the work of amazing artists I respect & admire in this beautifully curated market, is making me grin from ear to ear!

Mid-week Medicine

Admire some gleam & glow, through rose-colored glasses,



breathe deep & smile (add cocktails as necessary).

Summer Blues in Winter

It's chilly today, & they are calling for snow.



All the more reason to pick up some blueberries & remember what Summer tastes like.

Up Close

First shot with my new macro lens:



I plan on using this lens quite a bit, & it has some heft to it, so I'm pretty sure I can count shooting with it as working out!

Hoo Loves You?

A brand spankin new set of 8 printable Valentines is in the shop!



Check out what the other sweet owls have to say here.

I Love Surprises

Creature Comforts featured my Yellow Paperclips photo in her Inspiration Daily post today!



Such a sweet surprise to come across while sipping my latte this morning, it makes me feel like skipping down the street with a balloon - or maybe an umbrella since it's raining.

*Update* My Metamorphosis photo just popped up on Etsy front page. Today is awesome, seriously awesome!

Vintage Beauties

We had a chance to stay at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco over the holidays. It was bustling & festive, and dripping with glittering chandeliers.

They were in the room,


in the entryway,


even tucked into a stairwell.


I'm sure these glorious beauties are just the tip of the iceberg, I'd love to go on a treasure hunt & snoop around for more!
