where are you spring?

the instagram photos from vancouver that show up on my phone are showing lots of blossoms.  surly, the cherry trees on my street have begun blooming too.  while here in stockholm we are still in a wintry state.  

i'm about ready for spring... i can't wait for the season to arrive in stockholm.

have a lovely weekend.

a happy room

this space has it all... modern, vintage, moroccan, bright, airy, and it all screams happy.  the rugs, the pouf, the sofa, the fabrics, and that max wanger beach print... love it all.   would you live here? 



     

     



colour please!

it has been grey in vancouver for too long.  rain, rain, and more rain. i am longing for colour... blossoming trees and flowers, blue sky, and a yellow happy sun please.  is that too much to ask?

this home, full of exploding colour, is gorgeous.



these colourful magnets would look great on our kitchen board.



wearing this bangle would provide the right amount of colour to an outfit.



i would join the colour run in a second; so awesome!





yes, every home can definitely use a colourful moroccan pouf



 

seeing someone wear this pink and white skirt would make me smile.



colour-coded books... love.



i have seen these colourful bunting balls at a number of local shops and want a string of my own.

a rose coloured / flower decorated cake... yum!



have a lovely weekend. hope it's colourful wherever you live!

pendleton, i covet you

these bags make me want to do a happy dance, especially the last one (i really want). these bags are sturdy yet feminine.  these bags are perfect for a country getaway or roaming the city. which do you love?

 










 

pick your bag: 
1 from amazon; 2/3 from the pendleton; 4 from local vancouver shop plenty (where i first noticed them); 5/6 from an oregon shop; 7 from portland here (my favourite!)
