Sorry for the lack of posting this week. I’ve been taking a computer break and enjoying my days at the beach. A few things I had hanging out my desktop that I spotted this week around the web. Have a great weekend!

Things I Love Today: Kinda Pale and Blue

Posted on | April 8, 2009 | 10 Comments

scottish house 780692 Things I Love Today: Kinda Pale and Blue

I have to run for the day. I still need to put together my photographs for my little show. Urg. I ran out of time yesterday. Above and below a few things I am totally in love with right now. Above a charming croft for rent in North West Highlands of Scotland. So dreamy. Love the color palette. Below a gorgeous and affordable egg photograph by Alicia Block. I love any photograph of eggs. And one more fav below. How sweet is a cross stitch monogram pin? Could be cute on a tote or on your shoulder. Just $6 each through Tree Fox. Have a nice day!

p.s. I just revised my post because I couldn’t not include the adorable blue striped dress below. I know chelsea posted it yesterday over at {frolic!} but I just can’t stop thinking about it.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

I feel so happy right now. I just made peanut butter chocolate bars. So good. Anything with peanut butter and chocolate is instant heaven! For lunch I had leftover spaghetti and turkey balls. Aren’t the leftovers sometimes better?

These yarns are gorgeous. If I could just master the scarf! I love the mix of all the different colors. The yarn is handspun by ficklefiberdiva using various colonial wools and merinos. Love!

p.s. I just bought the yarn above. I couldn’t resist. Here I come knitting needles!

It looks like we could be in for a real cool fall weekend. Time to take out the down comforters, wool blankets, and slippers. Why not switch out the plain cotton sheets to something a little warmer? Flannel sheets are super cuddly and they make winter totally enjoyable. Here are my picks for dressing your winter bed with the snuggliest accessory of all. Have a nice weekend!

I have been collecting grey and blue stripes inspiration. Grey stripes in a wider a band feel crisp and classic. Blue ticking stripes remind me of vintage nautical interiors. I am attracted to both types of stripes and trying to find a way to incorporate them into my interior. Above we have some inspirational shots and below are pieces that I could buy. Let me know what you think?
