Yes PLEEEZ

It's always fun to shop! It's even more fun to shop online... creating wishlists, adding to your cart but never hitting 'checkout'... grabbing inspirational items and holding them as long as you'd like. Mmmm... Some dream-dreamy items I've recently been yearning for:





Collaging with inspirational items is my favorite form of creative thinking. I recommend it :)

The Before. The After.

I'm in love with Stray Dog Designs. Have you heard of them? Their stuff is inspirational/phenomenal/jealousy-inducing/ultra pricey. So when I found a rather boring lamp for $5 at a local shop, I saw potential. I saw a $400 coveted design underneath that dark, dull exterior. And so I purchased it, with the intent to turn it into a Stray Dog inspired masterpiece... Of course having no experience in the art of paper mache, the road towards the finished product was a rocky one. But it was worth it. The end result is lovely.

(please excuse the poor photos. only have the camera on my phone at the moment.)
