See what happens when I chase the chaise?

Le Photique LOVE Etsy! I mean come on! These are so cheeky! They had an Eames chair as well but I liked these...they also had some cute vintage cameras for all you shutter bugs!

Wanna Neck?

I love that the rectangles skip...dead sexy.

Sprout is at it again! I adore Etsy! I can always find reasonably priced, original jewerlry that is most often tiny works of art.

If you like modern jewelry and nature inspired jewelty I think you might take a fancy to Just Peachy as well! Reminds me of all the beautiful hikes I've taken this year. We are camping this weekend-so looking forward to it!

For all those oh so demure days....

and then when ya need a little edge...

The Oprah/Washington DC Connection

My little girl is so excited about our trip to D.C. Her best friend recently returned from there and can't stop talking about seeing Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers. See Oprah connection here. hint:She touched them.

Bestow's Modern Silhouette earrings (on sale) would look great with Monticello in the background. They are having an Obama inspired sale right now. 40% off and free shipping with the code : BSS09 It would look swell with the dress/coat too. Who's O's fave president? You guessed it!

Jaleo will be fun! I've been recording the chef's series called MADE IN SPAIN for a while...he makes me crazy with food lust. He made a soup once soup that made me want to weep with joy. He creates beautiful little still lifes in the bottom of the bowl with seeds of a cucumber and perfectly toasted croutons, drizzles a little olive oil and then, as a finale, brings a pitcher of a beautiful gazpacho down to flood the dish with tomato/pepper/garlic love.

The only connection here is that I watch Oprah too, love her. We have had a one sided TV fling for more than 20 years....can that be true?

We have reservations at Art's ART AND SOUL! Remember him? he was Oprah's chef for awhile. He's the one who insisted on calling her Ms. Winfrey while the rest of the world was on a first name basis with her.

I love Southern classics. My Mother is originally from Kentucky-she has relatives that to this day insist that a "salad" can include sausage and heavy cheese... so I think it will be a hit.

We're leaving this week...we'll see if I can post some interesting photos when I get there. If not interesting at least charming in all their amateur glory.

All the married ladies...shoulda put an earring on it...

Clearly, I am no Beyonce!
I can't even type the little accent above the "e" correctly. Wow, what a sad title. My apologies.
I really don't have any "single lady" girlfriends...am I forgetting someone? Hmm what does that say about moi?
Anywho... when I saw what cute little gems SITE had I wished it was Christmas and I could bestow all my girls with these, oh so, appropriate jewels...you know who you are!




(OHIO)

This fork ring is a little obscure but think good food and forks in the road.

These are called Poet earrings...I just like their edginess.
UPDATE: These came yesterday! They are so tiny and absurd. FAUX moss people- just you wait they will be all the rage...

What? Lost Hearing? No, MOSS EARRING!

Oh these kill me. I can't stand it! My new spring earrings from Adorn Jewelry! I love high and low jewelry! I can't wait to get them!! Saw them first on eco craftiness.

Unrepentant appeal for V Day

Algae bloom necklace by Nervous System- not sure which I like better...gold or silver? Looks a little like snowflakes.

If jewelry could be my Valentine, I might just ask these spiky little earbobs...

Branch necklace from the Algae line!

World wise and weary

I would wear this to the innaguration...if I was going.
Cinderella, Cinderella...all I need to do is find a couple of mice to whip up a little gown and a stage coach!

A little bird told me...

Figs and Ginger! Love this jewelry company. The Necklace reminds me of my friend Heather who has four of the cutest little New Englanders you've ever seen!

I'm thinking of Rob, the pappa- and wishing him health and lung power!!

Eeny Meany Miney Moe!

Wrap it up, I'll take it! The bracelets are made by a company called Re:vision! Recycled camera components! I get goosebumps when I see great design that is so damn chic AND happens to be "green"! Love it.

All these fabulous artists can be found on Oye Modern.

The ring is from Kristina Brenke.

these little lovelies, by Rebecca Ward are so perfect in their odd little way. The wheel, so basic, yet so reinvented. Ahhh design...
