Today I’m not in New York. Yesterday I was and it was fabulous, although drenched with thoughts of departure. What a five-day séjour I had and I’m envious of Jordana’s frequent bounce from here to there as her second home.
This morning I rode my bicycle to work like I do every day and I thought, New York, I miss you.

Who’s a sucker for stationery? I am! I am!

These paper masterpieces are by Michigan artist Matt Shlian. I am amazed at how Matt has transformed flat pieces of paper to 3D sculptures that have movement, structure, and depth.

…When there’s confetti!
Confetti is quite possibly the most fun accessory to a memorable event. It’s exciting to throw and thrilling to be showered with the happy specs. No need to save them just for weddings.
I’ll be bringing seed-embedded paper confetti flakes for an early summer party; if you’re like me and don’t have green space, why not gift them (or throw them!) to a friend who does. I also like the enviro, no-cleanup-required: before you buy, just decide if you’ll be seeding with herbs or wildflowers, and let the festivities be as memorable as your lasting green gift.
Enough boring: plantable paper confetti by Bontanical Paperworks in either herbs or wildflowers- a garden party must for this summer
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 décor 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
