This & That.

Daily Pretty

The first 'daily pretty' of 2012 and it's a good one. I never tire of solid stone walls, perfectly time-worn wood floors, beams-a-plenty, heirloom furniture, and Mouille-esque lighting. Wonderfully quirky.

Happy New Year!

Photographer Fixation: Costas Picadas

Between a surly computer and general busy-ness, my posts have been pretty sparse. So here's an end-of-the-year offering to make up for the blogger blahs. I love all the boho, tropical goodness captured by photographer Costas Picadas. Who's up for a getaway? The only thing missing...a mojito and a warm ocean breeze.

Happy Thursday!

Daily Pretties, A Threesome {and the aletafae giveaway winner}

From designer and fellow southerner, Jenny Keenan, a bevy of pretty. What a gorgeous combination of textiles, texture, and color. See more of Jenny's design work here and be sure to check out her fun new blog, Jenny's Southern Comfort.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the winner of the Aletafae pouf giveaway is....drum roll, please....Number 24, as chosen by random.org. The lucky comment belongs to Sarah of La Maison Boheme! Congratulations, Sarah! I'm so excited to see which pouf you choose and I hope you'll post a pic of it in your home!

Thanks everyone for participating. I wish I could give one of Aleta's beautiful poufs to each and every one of you, but the consolation prize is that they are so reasonably priced and wonderfully versatile you can purchase one of your very own, here. Once again, thank you Aleta for your generosity. I love supporting small businesses, especially when they are run by talented mamas who create beautiful handmade goods.

Happy Weekend, friends! I hope all of you new-to-me faces continue to visit. It was wonderful to hear from so many new readers!

Monday Mashup

Yes, it's summer, and yes, I'm lazy and yes, this is as creative a post as I can muster at the moment. You know, just in case you were wondering. Stay cool, homies.
