jayson home and garden
posh
modern times
art effect
anthropologie (just b/c we don't have one here)
praha

By i suwannee 4/28/2008swiss army blanket
By i suwannee 4/25/2008i've had my eye on a swiss army blanket for a while now.
i may have to stop in at p.o.s.h and pick one up when i'm in chicago next weekend.
and store it away for next fall, of course. our bedroom is sort of like a loft on the second floor of our house, so it catches all the hot air and bakes us at night.

new shoes.
By i suwannee 4/24/2008i needed some new sandals for warm weather so i got these.
they were on clearance for $29.95, and i didn't have to use my brain much to decide on them b/c they're so simple.
good deal + minimal amounts of brain power = good purchase
spotted!
By i suwannee 4/24/2008ottoman
By i suwannee 4/24/2008this floor pillow is from ikea's new summer collection. i think it might be perfect for making an ottoman out of. remember when we talked about this idea?
i think this might be the one!
would i stack two, or just do one, and raise it somehow?

pop tarts
By i suwannee 4/21/2008alright, stay with me on this.
out of nowhere, i had an intense craving for a pop tart, of all things. and no i'm not pregnant. so i was just going to post a pop tart, and we could discuss how long its been since you've had one. a while right? so i went to flickr to find an enticing pop tart photo, and was overwhelmed with cute (and delicious) things that feature pop tarts. for example:
a pop tart ice cream sandwich
pop tart soaps! made by soapylove.
embroidery by the floss box
and finally, this looked like the most tasty meal ever. ever. pop tarts and tator tots. delight.
luncheon of the boating party
By i suwannee 4/21/2008you may have noticed i've added a little bit on the right about what i'm reading currently.
i have to share more about the particular book i'm reading now, luncheon of the boating party by susan vreeland. its the story of the execution of renior's famous painting, and its so great - i can't put it down.
you find out who everyone in the painting is - and how they all came together.
its lovely - you should read it.

this is NOT how i feel today, for reference
i want a do over
By i suwannee 4/16/2008i had an intense struggle getting out of bed this morning.
i think pollen is wreaking havoc on my life and general constitution. my head hurts. i feel sort of manic-ly out of it. my nose was bleeding this morning? and my skin is dry.
i'd rather be in bed. this is a nice bed don't you think? i've never had a duvet. they're always too hot when i try them. but this looks so comfy. drifffftttting away hsidkorjelkncbb;lahblah.
