Garden Inspiration

Inspiration comes from many different things. Now that it is spring time and there are so many things blooming look outside for you inspiration. A meandering walk to observe the flowers through all of your senses. Taking a big breath of air can definitely spark a bit of creativity.


The images above are from our garden and it is amazing how quickly it changes. We are getting some well needed rain and I am looking forward to seeing how much the vegetables have popped. Watching the things you plant grow is very inspiring and worth the time to take a moment to enjoy.

Patriotic Freebie Collection

Every year at my parents lake home all the boat owners decorate their boats in the 4th of July theme and parade around the lake. It is a blast, the ultimate booze cruise. My husband and I are flying to Brainard, MN (from mpls to brainard we will be in a small propeller plane and I am a bit skeptical) and will get the chance to help my family decorate our pontoon. This has got me thinking about the 4th and thought I would put together some vector images to share.

Catalogs in the mail ARE going FSC

Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Bed and Bath, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen, west elm and Williams-Sonoma Home, decided that they would be using FSC certified paper for all 7 catalogs. (see full press release here) I just looked through a stash of Victoria Secrets catalogs from probably the last 2 years and what I found was in spring 2008 they had a recycle logo with 10% post consumer recycled paper.Other than that all the rest of the catalogs of Victoria Secret did not have any recycle logo or FSC certification. However, the most recent catalog is FSC certified with mixed sources. What I am wondering is were they just using FSC certified paper and not using a printer that was certified? Either way I am happy to see the FSC logo.

Check out this video on FSC and Pottery Barn Kids.
