Seaside Paint-by-Numbers
I'm slowly building my own paint-by-numbers collection starting with this beautiful ship. Gleefully placed on my mantel I look at the painting each day and enjoy the rich colors and obsess about my own future collection. If you want to see even more paint-by-numbers madness check out my past post here!

Seaside Perfection
Seaside living meets Danish modernist in the home of photographers Amy and Joe Keller. Their South Shore, Boston cottage is the perfect balance of vintage and modern style with antiques, souvenirs and mid-20th-century furniture. Tongue-and-grove ceilings, pale wood floors and colorful vintage collections create a nostalgic feel in the Keller's new home. Neutral walls also provide a warm backdrop to the beautiful pops of turquoise blue accents. The cottage is topped off with playful accessories like driftwood, pottery and vintage metal globes. To me, this house is absolute perfection and I can only hope my future awesome lakeside retreat will be as equally charming. Stay tuned for a look inside their bedroom and a vintage collection you don't want to miss!

Air Plants
My new plant obsession is tillandsias, also known as air plants. They are affordable, easy to maintain and lovely by themselves or paired with other plants. Flora Grubb Gardens provides stunning photographs to get you air plant inspired including beautiful wedding arrangements and a web shop. By the way, the wedding decor is amazing and you can see even more fantastic photographs at Feather Love Photography. If you want to start small (like me!) then check out Tortoise Loves Donkey, an Etsy shop filled with a variety of air plants and terrariums. I can't wait to start experimenting with these little plant joys...the possibilities seem endless!
Do you like air plants? Have any ideas or tips on air plant care?

Kreme
On a side note, today is my birthday and I am still wondering how it came up so fast. Where has this month gone?! Even though it seems to be flashing right before me, I took a moment today to be grateful for what I have and dream of a better year ahead. The one plus about birthdays (besides cake of course) is the opportunity to start fresh. So here's to a hopeful, productive, loving and thankful 28th year ahead...

Share the Sweet
Norwegian designer Maria Tovslid created Share the Sweet, an interesting series of candies, chocolates, and lollipops. Tovslid says, "Emphasising on how changing the form can add to the way one would read, interact, and consume candy. I designed these three pieces focusing on the experience of sharing, even something that is commonly not shared, like a lollipop."
The concept is original, fun and downright sweet. Doesn't candy sharing sound pretty good during this hectic week?!
