i’ve been looking for some new, but vintage, accessories for the house, and i remembered a lot of wonderful industrial-like glassworks i’ve been seeing in the vintage etsy shops and around the design blogs these days. i love the contrast of the somewhat sterile, industrial looking glass partnered with some pretty flowers, single branches, and even terrariums. here’s a few of their wonderful glass finds i’m loving right now.

when i was working my 9 to 5 ad land job, we had a lovely tradition on fridays – first hit the flower market, then the el toyonese taco truck for some super cheap tacos. i loved it. now that i’m self employed i could do this all the time. what the hell is wrong with me? must be the pj’s. note to self: get dressed in the mornings and you can then eventually leave the house. anyway, i digress. again.

so, today in honor of what i think is a lovely tradition of fresh flowers every friday (such a nice way to spruce up the house each weekend), i thought i’d share some lovely flowers as displayed in the sfgirlbybay flickr pool. they don’t have to be expensive — i think freshly picked ones from a morning walk are sometimes even the best.
