Even after buying a home in Oregon, I still am and will probably always be a California girl. I miss the sun and the palm trees and all my colorful sun dresses (which I try to wear here anyways with tights). I’m definitely longing for summer!
How are the Summers where you are?

As a kid, did you ever dye carnations different colors? How smart is this way of turning each bloom rainbow colors by Color Me Katie!
These reclaimed wood turned colorful pixie ring boxes by Oh Dier are so cute.
If you’re dreamnig of summer, these DIY paper butterflies might just be the thing to flutter you there (if you’re interested in an edible version, check out this post or for other things butterfly click here).
The {Loved & Noted} series touches on inspiration from creatives and fellow bloggers all over the world.

Watching all the wildlife in the backyard is one of the most fun things of spring (I’ve definitely seen my share of bird/squirrel wars now). That’s why I’m loving Daniel Mackie’s work. Influenced by printmakers of the Ukiyo-e period and navy tattoos, each of the creatures’ habitat are represented inside each animal.

All that’s needed for a modern day flower girl is a playful floral dress (€132), a colorful basket purse ($198), and some lovely blooms that last forever ($16). I’m loving this hand drawn pattern on this hand made dress by La Casita De Wendy. The other things in her shop are also lovely like this cute raffia bag & cookie bag (check out the behind the scenes for her bag collection here)!
We’re off work today enjoying the sunny weather (& picking up some furniture). We’ll also be headed this cooking demo tonight with Seattle’s Tom Douglas. Should be fun!
Do you have plans for this weekend?

The amazing photo of dewdrops on a spider web have me wanting to take a stroll to notice and appreciate all the little things. Isn’t it just beautiful?
Do you take morning strolls?

Austrian based photographer Ákos Major’s beautiful waterscapes have me wishing I was elsewhere. In fact, it’s my guy bestie’s birthday today so I wish I was in the Bay Area celebrating with him! I hope he has as relaxing and lovely a birthday as these waterscapes.
Where do you wish you were today?

A little known fact about A & I is that we collect film cameras. In fact, with the new house, we’ve dedicated a room to our love of them. We’ve been spending the past month unpacking boxes to sort them into rangefinders, SLRs, toys, subminiature, and more. We just love the excitement of loading a fresh roll of film and getting photos back from the developers. These beautiful and nostalgic photos by Nicole Odemann are exactly what we dream of achieving when we go out shooting on the weekends. Check out her Flickr & portfolio too.
