Bedside Calla Lilies



I've had the pleasure of their company for the last week on my nightstand. Is there anything more lovely to wake up next to? Okay, maybe second to the one who gave 'em to me :) I wanted to photograph them in a more abstract way and I love the way the photographs turned out. I think these would look amazing printed in large format, matted and displayed in an over sized frame.

Free Font Friday


I'm excited to share with you this new template I created for my weekly free font Friday post! It's going to be a beautiful weekend here in Chicago and I'm excited for a photo shoot I'm assisting in tomorrow. I'll be sure to include all the details next week :) Until then enjoy my font picks for this week. Creampuff and Seaside Resort, are the perfect downloads to jump start your weekend, wouldn't ya agree? TGIF!

Loving: Alphabet Letter Freebie

The lovely duo behind Two Brunettes have fun Alphabet banner letters for you to download over at the Ruffled blog. Simply download each letter, print, punch holes on each corner and hang with twine or ribbon. Oh, and it even includes a heart to us as a space! I plan on making one for my nieces 9th Birthday coming up in June, she'll love it almost as much as I'll enjoy putting it together for her. Enjoy!

Note Keeping

I don't know about you but I'm always writing notes/ lists for myself to remember what to pick up from the market or just for jotting down notes in a jiffy. I always keep a notepad in my purse for such occasions and printing out some of these free notepad sheets would just make me smile a little brighter. Thanks Yasmine for the lovely downloads :) Just click on each image and get to printing!

Wednesday Wishes


Hi and welcome to another week of Wednesday wishes! I've been craving art this week and since Joe and I are on the verge of moving, we are waiting until we move (in July) to join art forces (mine + his), I am dedicating this weeks post to a few pieces that I've had my eyes on for a while. I am so looking forward to (1.) having more wall space and (2.) displaying art we've collected from independent artists. My collection has taken off after receiving an awesome painting from this talented gal a few weeks ago :) Hopefully there is enough in the budget to include one or more of these great works too! (click on each photo for artist details.)


Don't forget to check out the lovely Katie, Courtney & Kellie to read all about their wishes for today too! And please feel free to join us by posting your own wishes every Wednesday. Just be sure to let one of us know so we can tune in :)
