design in 3d.

i just love this beautifully intricate and gorgeous 3-d wallpaper and chandeliers from Swedish designer hanna nyman. i can’t tell you too much about them, because hanna’s site is partially in swedish, and very minimalist with words, but her work is so pretty, i just had to share.

who let the dogs out?

3k

y’all know how much i adore dogs. and apparently, so does the lovely kiehl’s that so many of us turn to for our skin care needs. kiehl’s is now reaching out to the mutts of the world. yep, this weekend kiehl’s is sponsoring Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of senior dogs.  On a local level, Muttville rescues senior dogs and finds them new homes or gives them hospice. On a global level, Muttville provides information about caring for older dogs and support for people who do.

if you’re in san francisco this weekend, and perhaps have been looking to adopt a pup, or just give support to the good mutts of the world drop by kiehl’s on fillmore street on Saturday, March 6 from 12 – 3pm. Muttville will bring a number of animals looking for homes to kiehl’s, in hopes of making a match, and each customer who adopts leaves with a kiehl’s gift box. and, if you donate $10+ to Muttville on the day of the event, and through Saturday, March 13, you may choose between a complimentary Creme de Corps body moisturizer (4.2 oz. size), or a Spray-N-Play Cleansing Spritz (one product per customer). kiehl’s will also present $500 to Muttville at the event, in support of the organization’s advocacy on behalf of animals. woof! what a great cause!

travel mementos from ink on my fingers.

i’ve been trying really hard to visit all the ‘blog it forward‘ posts daily, but being out of town last week, i missed a few, so now i’m playing catch-up. it’s awesome though — yesterday in the pouring rain, i got cozy and read through a bunch of them. here’s just a very few of the favorite bits i picked up on in the form of inspiration from some of the participating mashup bloggers. to visit the full schedule, and see who’s posting when, visit here. thanks for all the fabulous posts and inspiration, everyone!

i love a eames rocker probably more than any chair ever designed – it’s comfy and a classic. i could have one in an assortment of colors, and display them proudly as a collection, just like this set of rockers above. i went on a hunt for the the mid-century modern treasure designed by husband & wife duo ray and charles eames, and found a variety of  their chairs in yummy rainbow colors. if you love a good eames rar rocker, some good sources for these are modernica (one of my lovely sponsors), modern seed, hive modern, sparkability, and dwr, as well as secondhand finds of the originals on ebay, and even craigslist.

blissful inspiration

i believe you can really tell a lot about a person by what makes them happy.  which is why this week’s blissful inspiration post was so fun.  I simply perused flickr and pulled photos by which ones instantly struck me with a sudden jolt of happy.  i love sharing these with you, because i feel as if it gives you a glimpse into me as a person.
