Today I totally scored. I found these three amazing pots (my favourite is the large modernist one on the left), and I found these two baskets with leather-wrapped handles. The baskets are perfect for my new office, and the pots are perfect for all my succulents and cacti that are rapidly needing bigger pots.
Yet another couple of new pieces by Renilde for her Wormhole series. I’m always so inspired by her work. I love this new one especially:
I am also enamored of this new hooked rug cushion she made:
I’ve been using Twitter for a while now, but mostly for personal stuff not necessarily for The Looksee. But now I’m doing it! The Looksee is now on Twitter. If you are too, please feel free to follow. I promise to be sporadic in my Tweeting.
Seth clued me into Off Beat Repeat which was made by our friend Mylinh Nguyen, as well as Sally Thurer, and Dan Michaelson. You can make your own tiling patterns with a little help from their site. It’s a fun little time waster… and it’s pretty. Here’s part of one I made.
I have put up a few new styles! I hope to put up more as I have time to design/make them, but my daily grind has been tiring me out lately, so I’ve been slacking on jewelry. Check it out.

I found this in my post-it notes today. I forgot I jotted this down from Garance’s site, because I was inspired by the way she (and her translator) encapsulated what I frequently find myself thinking when I buy something unusual, or maybe even just plain funny. Of course the way this is phrased is much more eloquent than my own musings while shopping.
My garden is blooming. These Echeveria’s are especially lovely at the moment.
I was given this Acanthocalycium about a month ago by the plant society that I belong to, and now it’s blooming. This is actually the second flower in one week, but I didn’t snap a photo of the first one because I didn’t realize that these blossoms only last one day. The flowers are about the same size as the cactus itself!
Gardening, drinking, making crafts, talking about flora and fauna with my husband, and generally trying to forget Monday-Friday. What are you up to this weekend?
