Objets De L'intrigue

Ibride is a French "atelier de création" that breathes life to fanciful objects that function both as art and household item. With their animals holding court, in some cases literally, over your everyday life you'll put the "fun" back in functional!

My favorite piece is their White Ming Vase that is actually a stack of, oh so very pretty, painted bowls!

I also love their very cleverly cute shelving designs:

Feeling light? Try the Nibus and Cirrus shelves!

Inspire Me Tuesday!

Jennifer Fisher's designs via Glitter Guide

Glitter Guide recently did an interview with Jewelry Designer Jennifer Fisher and she said something that I found to be be very inspiring:

Glitter Guide: "What advice do you have for women looking to start their own jewelry line?"

Jennifer Fisher: "Just get out there and do it. Don’t be afraid of anything. Its the only way. No Fear."

The thought of getting out out there with no fear is inherently scary in and of itself... But you can't get out there unless you get out there!

So here's to a week of fearless flying jumps and leaps of faith!!!

(Let me know what fearless thing you did this week!)

It's Baby Shower Time!

One of my friends is having a baby girl so a group of us are throwing her a shower and I'm playing host. The adorable theme (great job Patty!) is "Mom to Bee" since her daughter's room will be mostly yellow.

I've been "busy as a bee" working on decor for the party. I've been fluffing tissue flowers and cutting and pasting all sorts of bits and bobs that I made... But I decided to splurge on one already made piece of gorgeousness!

It's by Every Lane (purchased via Cocodot).

It came beautifully shipped and packaged like this:

Was full of this (Woohoo confetti!!!!):

And is party ready in my home looking like this:

The shower's on Sunday so there's more party goodness to come! (and maybe some decoration making DIY's too... Let me know if you're interested!)

Inspire Me Tuesday!

I decided to start regular Tuesday posts about things, images, people, etc. that I find inspiring!

Why Tuesday? Why not? It's an oft skipped over day of the week when it comes to these sorts of things (it's all Wednesday is hump day, so sad it's Monday, and thanking the deities for Friday) but its also a great day for a little pick me up til you get to your much needed beloved weekend.

So without further ado...

Today I'd like to share a beautiful image of a watercolor palette. Color rocks my world when it comes to inspiring me. It lifts my mood and elevates my mind to the space it needs to be in to get my creative juices flowing!

Plus a palette is inspiration unto itself; it's full of endless possibilities, fresh starts, new ideas, and with a watercolor palette in particular mistakes can be washed away and fixed with the swipe of a brush...

So get to it and make your life an inspired one!

Kisses,

Spring Is Near

Hi! I'm in the process of packing and moving amidst many other things so I've found myself neglecting my newly started blog already! Yikes!So, until I get a moment to write the promised vacay posts I'll leave you with a little something.... A photo that harkens the promise of spring. Bright, cheery, but most importantly, still weather appropriate!

See! Bright? Vibrant colors, check! Cheery? Who could resist the playful polka dot nails... Check! Weather appropriate? Gloves, check! After all, it's still c c cold here in the Paciffic Northwest. I plan on trying to channel Kate Spade and bundle up with a Spring in my step and in my wardrobe!

How will you avoid the continued winter weather doldrums and welcome Spring into your life?

Kisses,

K
