So I love flickr and being able to blog from it. I'm going to have a lot of uploading to do when I get home from work...

I just signed up for a flickr account and am testing the blogging capabilities. I just love this photo. It makes me want to ride a bike wearing a red coat and red shoes.

Mod Pillows

Mod Pillows

I've had this picture on my desktop forever to post. I really want to get these for a friend getting married (which are quite a few as of this weekend). Lot's of other designs and clever word pairings if you feel like browsing.

Tulips, Kids, Cookies and Mugs

My Valentine's Day was so fabulous!
Tulips from Mom and Yogi (my real boyfriend)
Adorable pic of her cutie kids from Lady Noble
Pink frosted sugar cookies for the office & friends
Pink & brown heart Starbucks mug from Kara

And then dinner with the mom at TGIFridays, a lovely purple & red wrapped gift propped on my door from the Rounds and then three hours of TV snuggled up on the couch with a piece of Oreo pie. Who needs boys?

Blueprint Magazine, Issue 3

I read the rumor (via Decor8) that the new Blueprint is coming out mid-March. What a wonderful birthday treat that will be! Can this magazine please turn monthly? Just by the cover I can tell I am going to be flipping through this one for quite some time. And, what do you know, it's yellow!

Giving

(outside)

(inside)


Via Better Living by Giving

I had a chance to read about Giving in the new HOW Magazine today. Giving is a "a greeting card company dedicated to better living by giving." So I went to their website and adored all of their cards. I love how the inside is wilder than the outside - a nice spin on card design. And they have the best mission behind their design:

"The beauty of giving a GIVING™ card is that feeling of making someone happy goes a step further. We are committed to helping people live a better quality of life. So if a child needs school supplies or a neighbor needs a wheelchair, it’s our goal to help. Happiness really does come full circle by GIVING™."

Orla Kiely

When I studied abroad in London I splurged on an Orla Kiely bag similar (not exact) to the one pictured above. I love it with all my heart. Mine reverses to a lovely light pink color. Sigh. If I were to buy an Orla Kiely bag today I would splurge on the one below. Check out the website - I could browse for hours. I might spend part of my tax return on a new wallet, a nice, long wallet where I don't have to fold my money. Always a requirement for me. I'm leaning towards the "stone" colored one below.
