FABULOUS FINDS: Capturing Resonance

This massive sculpture is featured at the deCordova Sculpture Park & Museum in Lincoln, MA.  Oh how I'd love to see this array of light and color up close. 

FABULOUS FINDS: A Tall Glass of Yum

LOVE this Soda-Lime Pitcher and Glass Set from Anthropologie. $28.00.

FABULOUS FINDS: Tiny Plants in Tiny Spaces

I love this look!   Are all three of these cactus? 

I am going to recreate this for my home!

FABULOUS FINDS: Gourmet Easter Cookies

(This is too funny for me not to share...when I first typed my title to this post I typed Gourmet Cooties.  Ahem.)

I know it's a bit early for an Easter find, but I couldn't resist.  These are so stinkin' cute!!  From Baked Ideas.

At $45 for 6 of them I think I'll have to drool over the online photo instead of the real cookies.  I can almost taste them.

FABULOUS FINDS: Penny Wall

I really want to try this...a wall decorated with pennies.  I love the natural contrast in colors.  I'm just wondering where I can try this.  Recently featured on the Design Sponge blog.

FABULOUS FINDS: Oreo Cookie Art

It is a talent all in itself to be able to create this art and not eat it up before you've gotten this far.

Check out this really cool artwork by Judith G. Klausner

Now I want an Oreo.  Great.

FABULOUS FINDS: Mega Doily Rug

I can't imagine the hours of labor and love that go into making this Mega Doily Rug ($1,200) over at Ladies & Gentlemen.  I love it!

FABULOUS FINDS: Jewel Tone Shoes

I really want these shoes.  They would match a skirt I got from New York & Company perfectly.  

$90.00 from Anthropologie.  If they were a bit cheaper I might splurge but I can't see wearing these enough to spend that much.  

FABULOUS FINDS: Shutter Wall

I just adore the creativity in this and I love the color scheme.  Found on the Recyclart website.  

Would you consider doing this in your home?

FABULOUS FINDS - Let There Be Light!

Found this totally to-die-for light pendant.

How gorgeous is that?  $199 at Pottery Barn.  I'm going to follow the light to springtime heaven.

FABULOUS FINDS: Love is Simple

Came across this on the Moxie Fab blog.  What a clever idea!  

It reminds me how complicated life can be.  I think it's so important to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures in life:  food, good health, and family.  If you are so lucky to love someone let them know it.  That emotional connection is one of the most precious and pure emotions we can ever experience. 

Happy (almost) Valentine's Day!

FABULOUS FINDS: New Scrapping Goodness

It's that time of year again for the release of new scrapping goodness at the Winter Craft and Hobby Show.  There is nothing more inspiring to me than to browse new goodies on a regular basis.  I so wish I could be there to see it all in person.  Ah well...maybe someday I'll get back into a sponsored design team position.  Until then, pictures will have to do, and there are plenty that I've seen so far that I've just GOT. TO. HAVE.


So here's my current wish list:



Prima's Songbird Collection.  I especially love those flowers and that floral patterned paper on the bottom.

BasicGrey's Plumeria line.  I also love the Vintage Buttons included in this collection.

Studio Calico's Chevron Stamp and Mister Huey Mask

Another of my pattern obsessions is honored with the Hambly Screen Prints honeycomb papers and overlays.

From the GCD Studios Oh Happy Day Collection by Heidi Sonboul.  I love this chevron patterned paper.

Love the whole American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection.

 (layout from the American Crafts blog)

Webster's Pages Clean & Simple Collection Trims.  (There are many more lovelies on their blog too.)

More new goodies featured soon?  Perhaps...

FABULOUS FINDS - Feeling Sunny

After two weeks of winter-themed finds, I am ready to sink my toes into the sand and soak in the sunshine.  I am not sure I could pull off this look but I sure do love the bright, whimsical pattern.

From Anthropologie for $48.00.

FABULOUS FINDS: Winter Jack Apple Punch

Just came across this on the Design*Sponge blog. 

Haven't been a Jack Daniels drinker for years but this sounds yummy!  Toasty toes and rosy cheeks here I come!  Ha ha!

FABULOUS FINDS - Virtual Snow

It is an odd winter here in Wisconsin...we have only had one snowfall that accumulated on the ground so far this winter and melted soon after.  We typically have snow on the ground until spring but not this year.  No white Christmas, no snow storm on New Year's.  


I thought this was a very creative way to add some winter to your home.  

which I found on Mary's blog.  Isn't she a wonderful crafter?


The original project instructions can be found on Paper Zone.  Fabulous!

FABULOUS FINDS - Have a Crate & Barrel Christmas

Oh how I love these Crate & Barrel goodness.  I hope Santa is listening!

This gorgeous Tiki vase - $29.95

This Boka lime table lamp--$199.00

The Layla pillow--$59.95

FABULOUS FINDS - Evie Group "Spun" Light Fixtures

These light fixtures are ultra modern but carry a little extra sass with their spinning top design.  

I can see these in my bathroom.  Available in January, 2012 at Evie Group website.

FABULOUS FINDS - Elephant Salt & Pepper Shaker Set

Again with the elephants.  Sorry...I just can't help it.  These are so stinkin' cute!

And only $12.99 at Modcloth.com.  I just HAVE to order these!

FABULOUS FINDS - A Sunny Orange Bathtub

I would not typically choose orange for decorating a home but I came across this bathtub and instantly wanted to have a bathroom and tub just like it.  Isn't it so refreshing?

From the Design*Sponge blog Sneak Peek:   Myriam Balaÿ-Devidal. 

FABULOUS FINDS - Elephant Hamper

Isn't this just the cutest?    I am starting to see that I really do have a *thing* for elephants.  I can't help myself.
