Creative windows

Living in a big city has made it possible to enjoy one of my favorite past times again, oohing and aahhing over beautiful window displays. I've even been known to stop mid walk and gawk leaving my walking buddies to wonder where the heck I went. And who knew there was an entire blog devoted to it!? One of my favorite stores that never disappoints is Anthropologie, always creative, always colorful and always full of texture. Though this is over a year old, I still love the look of these wrapped bricks...and you could totally use them as a bit of home decor too. They would make fantastic book ends don't you think? What are some of your favorite displays? Kate Spade is my second favorite, always full of whimsical and bright colors. And now that the holidays are coming up I can't wait to spend a day downtown just checking out what display designers have dreamed up this year. I think it was last year I spotted live puppies and kittens frolicking in fake snow with a few toys on display. PUPPIES!

Ferm Living

Its been a while since I did a little browsing over at Ferm Living and boy their new autumn/winter catalog doesn't disappoint. Filled with beautiful goodies for the home its easy to see why I am so drawn to their brand...hello geometric patterns! And how fun are those simple doll houses? Talk about hours of fun playtime all wrapped up in a nice modern look. Be sure to check out the entire catalog as well as stop by the shop for a little shopping.

Fall table tops

Now that fall is all around us I've noticed more and more natural elements and jeweled tones adorning tabletops and I simply love it don't you? Always a fan of using what is around you, these tablescapes would be perfect for any gathering. I've been a busy bee crafting away for winter decor, I know its super early but when you are making everything by hand you need to give yourself ample time. It took me a few times to figure that one out too, nothing worse then not being able to finish up your hard work in time. These are super simple ways to dress up your table, and the use of natural flowers and grasses is a great way of bringing fall indoors. And those painted cans, sort of a genius way to coordinate your color palette.

For the walls

How fun are these illustrations from Cosas Minimas! Designed by Blanca Gomez, these characters have so much, well, character. I think this little jazz man is my favorite.
