Yesterday's super warm weather in Portland got me fantasizing about Anna's shrubs at Lone Pine Coffee in Bend. So I went hunting. And found this! There is a good chance, a real good one, that I'll be making this soon. Stay tuned!
I love terrariums and succulents. I especially love air plants. My frien Jen Moore of Jem Raw Chocolates gave me one for my birthday two years ago and it's thriving, despite the fact that it sits on top of my cookbooks most days and I frequently forget it's weekly bath most weeks.
I found this post on the lovely blog, adailysomething.com; perhaps I will devote a day to terrarium creation. When I do, I will share it with you. Until then, enjoy.
Thank you Rebecca from a daily something blog!
They are only little for a little while.
I have been using the original Rosebud Salve since I first discovered it at the Kripalu store, when I was there volunteering in 2005. I have loved it ever since. I received a beautiful tin of their new Rose and Mandarin Lip Balm (thanks Linda!) in the mail the other day and I may just never use anything else again, ever. When I find something I love, I stick to it. I have some super strong brand loyalty tendencies. This, I love.
I have been finding so many wonderful things lately! All that I have found and gathered has inspired a whole mess of new blog posts which I will be rolling out soon. In the mean time, here is a small (small) sampling of what I found this week, and last. Enjoy!
Oh Martha Stewart you crazy beautiful b*%#h. Why is everything you make and do so perfect? I can always trust that if I follow one of your recipes it will turn out just perfectly. As I am so very sure that you are a perfectionist, I pray that you also have some fun! I sure did while making and enjoying your recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies and Vanilla Tea Cake from Martha Stewart Living.
My dear friend Sonja and her wonderful husband Todd have been doing to awesome personal work. I love it when we dive deeper into our own selves! She sent me a values questionnaire which I will be answering soon.
Brendan is now 2 years and 7 month old, what!? He is so full of Coyote energy, always getting into trouble and being very creative in his play. Nate found this article on messy play. We are going to get messy, on purpose, soon.
Ayurveda is clear in its care for breast feeding mamas. I have been doing my best to incorporate these suggestions into the mix.

Intuos creative stylus. I really want one!
A Daily Something blog so lovely and kinfolk-esque. Rebecca's blog is becoming one of my favorites - I have definitely added it to my collection. Thanks Rebecca!
European design blogs like Fantastic Frank (how cool is that name?). Some are out of my league style wise, but I love. Some favorite theme findings I am seeing: soft greys, white, the ocean, natural light, splashes of color, natural elements and of course, Kinfolk.
Lattes. I've been having a really strong craving for lattes. Nate's new coffee making geek-ery tools. New bowls from anthropologie, a desire for a vacation in France?
Madwell brand clothing specifically the oversized shirt look. Oh comfortable clothing, I swoon for you.
