friday morning tunes

this makes me smile

poetic practicality

discovered this artistic duo via design*sponge this morning.  impressive.  i won't begin to try and put art into written word...it would be an epic fail on my part.  all i can say is that it moves me.  thanks ronan & erwan bouroullec for letting me start my day inspired.

thanks to a blogger friend of mine, i now have a new obsession. she just returned from her paris honeymoon and while there visited the world renowned repetto boutique.  (the intro is a must watch)

repetto not only carries dance shoes but collections for women, men, and children as well as accessories and exclusive lines.

swoon, no?

cabin fever

the second snowfall of the season is now upon us (well, technically, today is more ice than snow but yesterday's snow was beautiful).  we are usually still waiting to have our first tiny bit of snow fall this time of month but yesterday produced anywhere from 3"- 8."  i don't typically mind the snow/ice because i fill my time indoors with crafts that i enjoy but today i really wish i was a part of this photo.  look at that blanket...the tea/coffee...the noms.  add a good book and good company to that picturesque scene and i would be in heaven.

hope you are enjoying this 'winter storm' we are having.  off to craft!
