(this was basically my uniform for several years!)
these outfits are lovely, too. i love all the neutrals, the layers, the texture...and anything linen.

the first is weekend sewing by heather ross. i was finally suckered into buying this after seeing all the buzz about it on blogland and flickr...that, and i can't resist a good craft/sewing book.
the second is linen, wool, cotton by akiko mano. i love japanese craft books, which is a pricey addiction, but haven't actually made anything, yet (not being able to read japanese is a little intimidating). this lovely is in english, so that should get me over my language hesitation.
i actually decided to get this book as soon as i saw this awesome bag (cuz i need another bag?!)
(i swiped a picture of the bag from this lovely blog, since i'm not able to post one of my own just yet)

so, i'm thinking i'll start checking out the thrift stores for various white dishes and replace the corningware (ugh) that my husband brought with him. this picture here was my first inspiration for new dishes!
pretty white dishes...(from hoping for happy accidents)
and just for fun, a white faux (?) cupcake by smallstump.

new year
i love vintage tea towel calendars, and this is a lovely take on sort of an old fashioned idea (by etsy seller cicadastudio, who also designs the most lovely fabric).
i love this letterpressed beauty for it's perfect simplicity (by etsy seller smeurer8)
the wild unknown has two series, both of which i'm completely smitten with.
feathers:
and
hawks & bunnies:
(hawks are my very favorite birds).
finally, the amazing etsy seller elloh has an "ode to the office" calendar (i highly recommend checking out this seller, her stuff is just so much fun)
happy new year!!!
namaste.
