Hi dearies!
I’m feeling under the weather today, so am taking the day off. In fact, my head feels sort of similar to this boxed-in photo fromĀ Lukas Wierzbowski.
Only minus that fun feather boa.
See you Monday; enjoy your weekend! I’ll be bundled up in my favorite duvet and catching up on snoozes.

New blog alert! Yellowtrace is the beautiful blog child (which is another word for brain child, in case you weren’t aware that I often make up words) of Dana, a Sydney-based interior designer.
Loads of inspiration, and loads of pretty things. Welcome to the blog’osphere, Dana!
p.s. Image credit is a glorious rug design by Patricia Urquiola.

Kyle Pellet sent the most glorious Flickrmail ever that involved a Germs t-shirt joke and some nice compliments.
Never underestimate the power of a Germs reference.
Also? Love this painting in a major way.

Jeff sent over some yarnboming (which is apparently code for ‘knit graffiti’ and I’m not quite cool enough to know that) yesterday, and whoa. Cutest graffiti EVER.

It was only a matter of time before the Snuggie for beds would be invented.

Confession time. I’m horridly obsessed with stamps, and have dozens that I never, EVER use. I love how they look, feel and smell, but I’m one of those people that never break out the fine china, no matter how much it calls their name.
BUT. I think I would use this rubber stamp, b/c hello? It’s a custom stamp hand-carved with MY face on it.
Takes personalization to a whole new level, right? Just $20 at Etsy. Love it.

Amy Talluto’s print for 20×200 is my last fave of the day. It’s like artist A.D.D. — but way better!
Thanks, 20×200 — this was such fun!

My next favorite from my VIP picks? “Stacked Upon” from Jaclyn Mednicov, which explores how nature responds to man-made structures in our urban surroundings.
I’ll tell you how it responds: “Make like a tree and leave.”
My nephew taught me that one.

In William Lamson’s photographic print for 20×200, art depicts life, liberty and the pursuit of serious flight endeavors.

“Radar” from Aili Schmeltz is another fave of mine, as it examines the artist’s love/hate relationship for living in Los Angeles. Boy, can I relate!
