Props.
The new Brocade Home catalog came in the mail. In addition to the lovely products and patterns {and inspiring blog, which I need to find the time to go through} I really like the photo styling.
And as I have mentioned previously, I really like the photo stylist! Really, call me - I would love a chance to thank you.

Eye Candy - Blossom Edition
I love spring blossoms and when the earth 'laughs' so colorfully and artists are inspired it can't help but brighten things.
2. Fresh flower necklace, such a simple idea but so pretty. These would be sweet for bridesmaids or flowergirls. From here.
3. White peony in vase - the photography in Martha is always inspiring, especially the flower shots, so lush.
4. So enchanted by the sublime photos in Bloom by Ron Van Dongen. Like this gorgeous waterlily, each bloom is shot simply and up close and given enough room {each a full spread} to pull you in.
5. From my 1850's copy of Gray's Botany, I love scientific illustrations like this cross-section.
6. One of my vintage postcards -those heavily embossed ones with fat ridges in the soft paper and colors that are airbrushed on. This one says best wishes at the bottom and has been hand glittered.
7. Another beauty from MS Living. It seems to me that if flowers were to have human personalities that bell shaped blooms would be bashful.
8. Thanks to Dear Ada for this find - a lovely botanical painting by Gail Spaien.
9. Pure yellow brilliance by Martha and co.
11. More beautiful, happy fun on paper by Angie Lewin.
12. Gorgeous under glass, botanical decoupage plate by John Derian.
13. Poppy from a series of botanical illustrations out of an antique medical book of mine. Each illustration is accompanied by the medicinal use of the plant. I especially love the color palette used.
14 & 15. Stunning Hellebore and sweet little snowdrops by Ron Van Dongen, from Bloom.
16. Another simple illustration from Gray's.

Little People and Inner City Snails
Little People is an ongoing project by street artist Slinkachu - " Little handpainted people left in London to fend for themselves." The figures are placed in everyday situations, photographed and left to be discovered by keen-eyed passers by, perhaps providing a booster shot of wonder, a smile or a reminder that paying attention to your surroundings can have its benefits.
A book of Little People is due out this fall.
Slinkachu has started another project related to Little People, Inner City Snail. This makes me smile! He uses non-toxic paint to graffiti the shells and assures us "No snails were harmed, they just had their homes vandalized."

flashback
These vintage flash card pieces would be fun in a kid's room. It would be pure serendipity to find some vintage cards to spell out Go To Sleep or Pick Up Your Toys.
Okay, I am totally obsessed.
The more I go through this site the more I love it. This is neat. This is my favorite {if you didn't see it before}. And this is clever :
