---- coupons ----


In case you live next to a Carter's or OshKosh outlet store, these are some pretty great coupons (especially considering everything in the store is already up to 70% off), so I thought I'd share. They expire on Sunday.

[ beautiful room ]

I was at the doctor's office reading Country Living magazine in the waiting room, and I just loved this ad I saw from Shaw Floors. I would love to build a house with stone walls.

These rocking animals from Russ's Rural Rockers are several thousand dollars a piece, but can't you see why?! Could a rocking horse (or alligator) get any more spectacular?

* more greatness from sanna annukka *






There's no other artist/designer whose work I think is more fantastic and lovely than Sanna Annukka (and she's rather lovely looking herself...all the more reason to be envied). Here is some of her latest work. Her shop hasn't expanded much, but her repertoire of commercial packaging and product design has hit the fan (so has her press exposure)! I especially love the fact that she has corresponded with Marimekko; talk about a match made in heaven.
