Debi Treloar

I really love these interior shots photographed by Debi Treloar. She captures a delicate light and if you pay attention there are always little flower arrangements sprinkled here and there or whimsical plants growing up and out of her frames. I have a lot to learn from shots like hers, and this keeps me wanting to grow with photography.

Papier Mache

Tell me that I'm not crazy for really loving Papier Mache! I just think that the PM team is brilliant, creating the most beautiful editorial spreads of the most beautiful clothing for children (if only they made in my size), cool D-I-Y of very neat crafts that you would actually want to make/wear (for us big kids too), and beautiful watercolors & illustrations. I swear that the kids in it are waaaay cooler than a lot of adults I know too. I just get the biggest grin on my face when a new issue comes out, and what's really lovely is that they're an on-line publication for now (they are definitely in the works to getting themselves published) and so you can view all of this incredible creativity & genius for free. Ahhhhhhhh!!! I love it!! Sooo good! But don't take my word for it, check them out here, and then check out their blog too!

See, told you...

Waterfalls & pure magic...

Friends! Look at the ethereal magic that Noemie Goudal spins!!! Ahhhh, if only we could simply transport and have a picnic at the base of that waterfall...sigh...and think, it wouldn't even splash water on us or our food! A girl can dream...I even love the name Noemie...

thank you lovely cheri for always sharing such wondrous treasures...

Wild Unknown

Absolutely delicate. Absolutely nature. Absolutely elegant. I'm in love...Please take a moment to check out Kim Krans' work The Wild Unknown.

Artist like Kim and her lovely story keep me inspired.

wildflower laboratory

It's that lovely time of year again when Evan and his wonderful Ecology Center have Green Feast, and I've been asked to do the flowers for it once more! Yipee! Last year I did a white color story, but this year I want to incorporate a lot of different colors and succulents, and make the story a bit more of a 'wild Californian' feel. Browsing through the awesome and oh-so-inspiring Design*Sponge, I came across this entry about using IKEA containers for a laboratory + plant vibe. I really like it and it got my ideas flowing...

What do you think?

Litill

I never tire of terrariums. Ever. Look at how lovely these are from Litill. Kinda like sea- aquarium-meets-desert. Sold!

(thanks so much cheri)*

Woolly Pockets

Have you seen these yet? Maybe if you live in L.A. you've driven by SmogShoppe and admired their incredible wall of vertical greens and maybe like myself you've wondered how ever did they do it?! Woolly Pockets is the answer!!! Flexible, modular, breathable garden containers that can be horizontal or vertical. Made of breathable felt! And the best part, they are really affordable. Check 'em out! I love it when design is both a practical solution and fantastic display! Woohoo for Woolly Pockets!!!!
