little friendly bursts of long lasting color and texture to brighten your day. an acacia bouquet inspired by all the acacia which is in full bloom in our area right now is in the shop. handmade vase by nearby east bay ceramist sarah kersten is one of my favorites in my little ceramics collection and is not for sale.

a floral layers bouquet at bottom right aims to please and is also in the shop.

pause and admire the little things that make you smile.

what an interesting point of view (first image on left) from clothing designer jemma beech - such an intriguing mix of color, texture and pattern with an impressive smoothness and elegance to her silhouettes. i can't wait to see more. a denim cardholder useful for holding other small items like lipstick as well - shown below and in the shop.

easily soothed and inspired when capturing and viewing that certain mix...hope you have a soothing, inspiring week.
