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!

Sweet Tooth Satisfied

Sweet Pockets, say no more! Atlanta's first cupcake shop looks mighty enticing. In my never-ending search for "cool spots" in this city I stumbled upon this place via the web. I haven't made it in person- but I have a good feeling I'll be in there in about 6 days when the need for celebration with a candle calls! Their flavors are quirky in title but perfect in ingredient! I'm pretty sure I'll be glad Lennie- once an architect- gave up drafting for baking!
Raz Taz {chocolate cake with raspberry filling & raspberry buttercream frosting}
Midnight {chocolate cake with chocolate frosting}
Strawberry Wawa {all things strawberry}
I'll be sure to let you know which flavors I go for and how they taste!

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!

Ponies are a Girl's {and Guy's} Best Friend

In keeping with the animal inspired week- you must check out the new styles over at moonblood.
Personally, I'm lusting after lascaux calvary and nature dot {both shown above.} Why I've only bought these T's as gifts for others I'm not sure. It's definitely time to treat myself! {Guys, don't be jealous, these T's come in men's as well!}

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!
