Facts are usually true...right?

something to wrap your hands around.

For some crazy reason fall/winter means I need a new coffee mug (Although if you look in my kitchen cabinet it is clearly evident that I have no shortage). It doesn't feel like I have officially rung in the new season without a little ceramic goodness to wrap my hands around. 

and because I majored in psych...a little Xanax with your cup of joe.

yes please.

In honor of the sunny days ahead, I give you the summer wish list. Everything I will need for a successful summer...

light me up.

If I had some moola to spend on a lamp...I would spend it on this puppy.

umbu

I love the description..."Materials for map: old city maps. white ribbon and yarn."

And that is how it should be. Simplicity at its best.

spring.

Happy first day of Spring!!

pink flamingo.

I wish I could draw, paint, whatever...sadly I cannot. So instead I will lust over Pop Pop Portraits mad skillz. How fun and unique are these prints? One word came to mind as I was perusing her Etsy shop...whimsical. 

Pop Pop Portraits

handmade crush.

If I could afford to outfit my entire life with Etsy I would. Absolutely love (almost) everything I find on Etsy (there are some interesting things online). Here are a few things that have made it on my wish list...and one that is actually on its way to me!

Bicycle in Paris II print

The Color Study II Locket

Vintage Globe

Wood Wine Rack: purchased. 

Giclee print

Twisted collar dress

scruff.

I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon so I have to say that I (along with every other PNW girl) have a great appreciation for a glasses and beard man (and the occasional flannel). Yes, they are everywhere when strolling around town...but they are so darn cute.

I am head over heels for this card by the Etsy shop eggagogo. Even though I currently do not have a glasses and beard man, I really want to buy this card...wouldn't it be rad in a frame? (that is as long as my future mr. fits the description)

eggagogo.

typography love.

...and so continues my obsession with typography. Would it be too much to have a wall dedicated to all things typography?

(Note to close friends and family: My birthday is in two months. Your welcome.)

pretty please.

My favorites list will never end. Since I am without a job, heirloom tends to turn into my online shopping bag that will never checkout. I will have to come to grips with that eventually.

A good friend introduced me to studiomko, a shop on Etsy which sells delicately hand cut map art and city map prints by designer/artist Karen M. O'Leary. My jaw immediately dropped. Not only is her work GORGEOUS, but it is so detailed and unique. I want.
