BROWNBOOK

istvan orosz is very cool

somewhere between magritte and escher I would say, with a twist of course: peep more of his works here.

cute as f

can't NOT post these! TOO ADORABLE!Prepare to be devastated by the CUTENESS






generally not a fan of dressing the pets up - I MUCH prefer to dress MYSELF, but these little bugs don't seem UNHAPPY...mostly they just radiate the most cutest cuteness I have been bombarded with in a LONG time

HOLI

Sorry honeys - it's been awhile. School and work are really eating up my time and energy - but today I saw something I knew I HAD to post IMMEDIATELY.













Please know that even if my posting slows down appreciably, I still love this blog and will always occasionally deposit treasures here. Who made the rule that you have to post everyday anyways? Post when you have something and want to - that's what I say.

Thanks to all of you who do check in - it's lovely recieving your comments and your attention.

Anyways- this is HOLI - the Hindu festival of colors - everything about it is so lovely - it's all about banishing evil and celebrating joy and surprise and color and spring and newness etc. etc.

These pictures make me SO HAPPY!

Trying on wedding dresses....

Amazing jewelry

Who makes my jewelry these days? Yoola, that's who. Seriously, I have like 5 pairs of earrings from her shop and they go with EVERYTHING and are so beautiful and light and SO WELL MADE. I have tried crocheting wire. It looks like a big scribble. It takes me ten minutes to make one little crooked loop. But look:





Yoola makes amazing things! Pomagranates, beads, earrings, lamps! And look how perfectly they are crocheted. I also got the ring from her store and it looks like a little golden scarf for my finger. So gorgeous and delicate. Plus she is always updating with new designs and colors so go take a look!
