interior inspiration : beach houses.

After living on the beach for over ten years, I still get a yearning to have a house along the sea, at least to run off to during the hot summer months. For now though, I can just look at pretty beach homes and daydream, right?

currently wishing...

that I could write as beautifully as Bryn Chernoff of paperfinger. My unopened calligraphy set has been getting dusty in the closet- I need to teach myself this summer.

cori kindred's studio.

As previously mentioned, last Sunday I got to spend an afternoon at Cori Kindred's art studio. I snapped a ton of photos there with my film camera, so I thought it would be nice to share how beautiful her creative space is. All of the photographs I took can be found right here, as well as some that the ever-talented Abby Powell-Thompson posted here. Isn't it completely beautiful?

pop-up party inspiration.

When flipping through the most recent issue of Martha Stewart Weddings at a friend's house last night, I fell madly in love with these absolutely beautiful Pop-Up Party Decorations. Such amazing ideas- I want to throw a huge party just to try them all out.
