I find myself resorting to black, brown, tan, white, neutral….A LOT. So for the fun of it, I just thought I’d add a little rainbow inspired color to your day:

a throughly modern doily

Julie — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:54:29 +0000

I never have been a big fan of the old-timey doily. They just kind of add an undesired “dated” funk to things in my eyes; and don’t quite do anything for me. They are very tea-partyish, which in that case, work well for fun, frilly and pink celebrations. But, not to fret, there is always a pillow of looming inspiration that can be drawn from “our delicate laced ancestors”. With a little modernity, we can always come up with a new use for an old-time design:

rubber doily coasters [+]

doily rug [+]

doily placemants [+]

debonair doily top [+]

It is like a 2 for 1 sale! Store your pocket change, cell phone or any other little knickknacks you find floating around in your pockets.

it comes “especially” packaged just for you.

It’s a “make a wish” birthday necklace…Happy Birthday from your friends at Anthropologie. This company never ceases to amaze me with their creativity and design inspiration. One of my many dreams=be a creative director at Anthropologie. The design of their corporate headquarters isn’t to shabby either, check it out here. Really check it is click worthy!! Oh and the very BEST part, the design concept sketches. CLICK HERE.

funSTUFF galore!

I sure did get my fix of this place today. I spent over an hour looking at trims and ribbons, and contemplating over what I liked the best. The store is literally floor to ceiling FULL of any little trimming “thing” you could ever want. More to come…

Have a splendid LONG & RELAXING weekend!
