Food as Art: Cookies

I came across this great blog, Kuidaore, via OhJoy this morning and am totally in awe of these cookies! The decoration rivals some of the best textile/pattern design out there! And to think- all perfectly "drawn" with icing! Now... I wonder if they taste as good as they look!

No Green Thumb?

Don't worry! These flowers require assembly but no water to survive! I'm one of those people that always wants to add the bouquet of fresh flowers to my cart at the grocery store- and sometimes I do! But, more often then not that $20 goes towards dinner... So, I've been checking out these paper flower kits at paper source and martha and I think I am ready to tackle one! Beautiful pops of color for my growing collection of vases with no need to worry about water or replacement!

Check This Out: Cool Site, Cooler Products!

Every so often the name Kate Sutton appears on a blog or in a design blurb because her work is so varied, great & popular! Somehow, yesterday was the first time I was linked over to her website which I just love! {In a day when so much time is spent surfing the web it's just so nice to come across something so simply refreshing!} Not to mention, the work on it is so inspiring!

Animal Kick

Animal Illustrations have been on my mind as of late {and I'll be sharing more about this obsession soon!} I'm into giraffe's, elephants, sheep... it's a combination of wild and farm! But, what I'm really looking for are brightly colored, silhouetted, patterned, fun interpretations of furry creatures! I checked out Elsewares and Etsy and found a jackpot of cool products!
