You knew I could not stay away too long... please visit me at my new blog, Nectar & Light...

 

Lately, I have found myself really drawn to monochromatic interiors - lack of color does not always equate to boring.  I love the feel of this space - the pink is such a fun and unexpected twist for a holiday setting - and of course the Victoria Ghost Chairs are the icing on the cake...

I am smitten with this grouping of images... so lovely - it just feels like fall...

Love the photography, loves the clothes, love the home goods - really love the 100% recycled paper catalog... I love Toast.

I am in LOVE with not only the work by illustrator Keri Smith, but her visionary as an artist as well.  You must check out her blog, her book that I have just added to my wishlist and this link which seeks to change the way we all see art.  Discovered here.

Still can't get enough of grays and silvers... lovely new pieces at Brocade Home.

For sometime, I have been wanting to blog about my Anam Cara {my Soul Friend} Amy Haney.  Her work is not only inspiring, it is incredibly complex and full of emotion.  What I love about her work is the diversity of media - she works in watercolors, oils, she sews, she prints and creates shelters... she is amazing {did I mention she is a marathon runner}.  Click here for her portfolio and here for her wonderful blog in which she updates regularly with new work.

I have always loved the beautiful creations by Jenny Vorwaller, but this new collection has completely captivated my heart and soul - sublimely gorgeous...

As if I don't have enough on my plate {ha-ha}, I have started a food blog!  For my regular readers, you may remember my background in the culinary arts - it is something that has always been a passion - I hope you can find some inspiration in my kitchen!

As much as I find myself drawn to color lately, I am equally drawn to the lack of it - though a good pop of pink will always win my heart.  {yet another vanity shot from H&G - and Acqua di Parma happens to be one of my favorite scents}
