{STYLE: drape yourself in rope jewelry}
I fell in love with these simple but beautiful pieces of jewelry by Sarah Spiridou. Her colour choices and pairings are perfect…so fresh & clean. I love the contrast between the shiny metallics and the texture of the rope. The braid is my favourite. It comes in yellow too! Take a look at Sarah Etsy…

{style: DIY scarf shirt for summer}
When I saw Nina Ricci’s new 2014 resort collection I fell in love with the mix’n match silk scarf patterns and fabrics. It’s a little like runway DIY. It reminded me of these great shirts I used to make from scarves years ago. I was inspired to go back to that amazing DIY sewing project and make…

{GOOD EATS: illustrated recipes}
They say don’t play with your food, but what about turning it into art? How fun are these illustrated recipes from Claudia Pearson Illustration?!? I think having just one would add a great punch of colour to your kitchen but imagine having a bunch of them (9″x12″) on a wall……super fun! They would work in a…

{thrifting 101: planter with a twist}
This is a double duty project – DIY and thrifting. I came across this huge glass jar. I didn’t know what I was going to do with it but I knew it was great so I scooped it up. It would make a great home for the start of a new or current collection (wine corks?)…

{artist showcase: kelly reemtsen}
I came across these lovely pieces of art by Kelly Reemsten that made me smile. As a single gal with my own place I find myself doing lots of handy stuff. My ‘tool drawer’ is getting pretty full, it looks like I may need to start a second one. I’m also more familiar with my local hardware…

{thrifting 101: flower power}
There seemed to be a theme to my finds on my last visit to the thrift store – flowers! I swear I found all three of these items during one visit to one store, sometimes things just work like that. This super retro looking ashtray was just too pretty not to scoop up. In fact the…

{GOOD EATS: shrimp on the barbie}
Living by yourself has it’s pros & cons. Only having to worry about yourself for dinner is both a pro and a con. Pro – I can make whatever & eat whenever. Con – I usually get lazy. I’m trying to break my cooking rut recipe rotation (say that fast 5 times). I was flipping…

{posters & spaces: game of thrones}
It’s pretty hard to be in a social setting and not have the conversation turn to Game of Thrones at some point. That finale! So it’s no surprise that people are being inspired by the program to create art. Artist/Designer Fernando Reza designed these amazing Game of Throne posters paying tribute to the iconic style and work…
