Cards Galore !!!

Do you like to smell paper ? I do ! Certain smells can evoke a lot of good memories, and to me that is true when I walk into a stationary store filled with beautiful paper goods & pretty cards that are irresistible to touch and feel their texture and of-course to smell them.

Located in Chicago, Greer's store owner - Chandra Greer is one lucky lady to have such a store, and although I have never been to Chicago I will definitely put her store on my wish list of visiting places. If like me you live in another part of the country, not to worry, Greer has an online shop where you can find many of their AMAZING cards. In addition to paper goods they also offer assortment of candles, soaps and desk accessories, be sure to check it out !!!

Rooms that demand..... RELAXATION !!!

I LOVE the fresh summer beach feel of the rooms below. They set the mood without overdoing it & with no particular nautical theme... ( yikes ! I hate to say it, but I dislike nautical themes :( ) just the allure of the ocean is enough to set the decor. So , I'll let the images speak for themselves. ( All photos are from Coastalliving )

BAGS TO READ ?

It is designers like Maurizio & his creative team at Momaboma italy { designers of handbags and accessories }  that prove... recycling can be chic & stylish !!! and what better way to be stylish than to carry one of their eco-friendly and oh so chic bags.

Their creations are made entirely of old news papers and recycled vintage magazines from the 50's, 60's and the 70's. The bags depict bold and fun graphics of movie stars and adds, giving new life & turning virtually trash to creations of ART ! even the lining in the bags are lined with recycled textiles, t-shirts and original military parachutes ( can you believe it ? it's amazing !!! )

They have a range of styles you can check out at their website : http://www.momaboma.it/

MULTI TALENT

I'm sure most of you have heard of the multi-talented artist,Nathalie lete. If you haven't then you must have seen many of her beautiful works featured in one of my favorite stores none other than:Anthropologie . I emphasize the word multi, since her work & creativity has no boundaries, her art is expressed in so many ways such as: paintings, ceramics, textiles, toys and jewelry, all centered in child like themes inspired by vintage toys and fantasy, accompanied with wit. I am so completely captivated by her work and I'm certain you will too.

{I'm sure her work has a legion of admirers }

Her work is currently featured in Anthropologie's online exhibition space called The Gallery.

I am just crazy about Chesterfield sofas , they are timeless !!!

If I can pick just one piece of furniture to have in my home it will definitely be a Chesterfield sofa, and if it can be one of those, I would be a very happy lady.
