Happy first day of spring!
As we wait for the season’s fresh blooms, I’m totally in love with and inspired by Balushka‘s over-sized paper flowers. Easy dĂ©cor for any wall- but I think I’d like to place these in a hallway where people tend to just wiz through.
Wouldn’t these give you reason to pause?
Balushka’s beautiful paper flowers are available for sale or rent here

Aren’t these simply amazing? Leave it to Etsy to have the coolest, most unique stuff on the web.
Over here at White Cabana we do love our white animals. For about $50 CAD one of these lovelies by mostlikelyShop can be yours to fold and glow. Perfect for any room and making a very architectural and functional presence.

Do you ever tire of seeing sets of nesting bowls? I certainly don’t. Ditto for nesting tables.
Today’s collection is a special set of four pieces by Mud Australia for Goop. These are perfect for baking, serving, displaying and just about any other idea you can think of. I love a low bowl. You?

How fancy are you getting these days?
Some of us are fighting the winter blues by buying spring clothes that  barely hit the retail floor, and some of us are getting into upscale fragrances. Do you know about Lucky Scent? It’s a shop with a scent bar specializing in top and otherwise uncommon fragrances from all over the world. Last week I splurged and ordered the L’Artisan Parfumeur Samples Pack– a great way to try 10 of the top phenomenal creations of all time at a fair price.
This caught my eye, too: fancy incense papers. I never liked the smell of incense before but, I have a feeling that its just like the difference between burning a fancy candle and a not so fancy one. Big difference.
Today I’m featuring these lovely incense papers that come in one of three signature fragrances by Maison Francis Kukdjian, Paris. At $25 for a pack of 20, these incense papers are either in notes of rose or orange blossoms and lily of the valley. I have a feeling that they are divine- a user review on Lucky Scent’s site gave these full marks. They are decadently scented with only the best. This isn’t a fortune-teller’s sandalwood stick: this is expensive in a way that is refined and crafted with nuances and pure extracts. Paris! Come on, you’d love trying one of these, wouldn’t you?
I adore today’s feature pic: an illustration designed for graphic design firm Cottage Collections‘ website. No wonder the site won a design award back in ’08.
Isn’t this European market square space sweet and charming, and a perfect space to enjoy a Mayan hot chocolate with your loved one on Valentine’s Day?
Or a glass of pink bubbly would do.
