Terracotta

Beautiful terracotta sconces from Anthropologie. Wonderfully combining the new with the old... I love the way the glaze is crackled.

(Pantile Pillar Sconce)

(Pantile Taper Sconce)

Both sconce designs come in both colors... both are just $28. At Anthro! New!

Now to decide where these can go.

To Buy or Not To Buy - Vintage Havana Dress

Vintage Havana Yellow Tie Dye Twisted Back dress... on sale at Ideeli today (and presumably for at least another day or two)...

Love these illustrations, and their beautiful and perfect titles, by Ana Ventura (found via Morfologica).


And check out these gorgeous embroideries...

Lots more pretty things in her shop.

Dirtsa Studio

(Letter Pillows from Dirtsa Studio)

Discovered Dirtsa Studio by way of a random clicking stream of consciousness, and ooh-wee! How fun are these?! More from her shop...

(or, just buy a number of your choice of any letters and spell yourself silly!)

Okay, she has more than these awesome Scrabble letter pillows, but I just love them!

Dirtsa Studio is named for artist Becky's late grandmother (her name was Astrid; Astrid backwards = Dirtsa) who was an artist in her own right. By the artist's own words, she's just "out to add some color to the world." Combining her professional background, education, and passions, she left a two-year stint at Anthropologie to pursue her own creative interests. The result is whimsical, playful, interesting... delightful.

Pretty, Delicate Intimates... at Target

I've gotten *really* into light nightgowns and chemises recently, especially as it starts to get a little warmer. There's something so easy and yet pretty about them. I definitely still sleep in old soccer t-shirts sometimes, but less and less as time goes on.

I recently bought one like this one, by Gilligan and O'Malley, at Target (mine's in a bright summery aqua, or calypso-like green, but they didn't have that color online). It's (surprisingly?) extraordinarily comfortable, light, soft, simple. It's also just pretty, and even a little sexy. And, come on, $20. Can't be beat.

Peekaboo Teacups from ModCloth

Can you even stand how adorable/awesome/delightful/hysterical these are?!

Branch

Love this branch vase/holder/wall art by Otchipotchi (via simple things). The texture on white is just evoking such a reaction in me. What a lovely way to bring in subtle flora to the home... it can hold water and be mounted to the wall.
