Be Observant

These two images recently caught my eye. I realize some days that I need to be more observant. To seek out beauty.

Monday Link Love

Greetings, pals. I hope you all had lovely fall-like weekends. It was chilly here and I loved it. Enjoy the links. And always feel free to post some of your favorite links as well.

- I’ll always be drawn to chalkboard walls. We had a small chalkboard wall in our old place and it was a lot of fun. Not too hard to cover either.

- I’m not a big “game person” but I would be willing to give these Typeface Memory Cards a try.

- Graphic designer Emma Robertson’s style reminds me of my own. Love her business cards!

- I loved shopping at Topshop in London. Here’s a look at their makeup line. So cute.

- Six Impossible Things, reposted by Sharon (who’s blog I adore).

- Sonya shared Lonnie Webb’s work on her blog. So beautiful.

- A gridulator? Yes!

- I love this weekend DIY.

My “Is it summer or fall” Wishlist

Okay, here’s the thing. I honestly haven’t gone shopping in SO long. If I were to go shopping, I would probably head over to Forever 21. Forever 21, as an establishment,  not only overwhelms me but it sort of gives me a headache. I find a lot of items online that I love but couldn’t, for the life of me, find it in the store. Anyways, here are my finds: Slub Knit Tunic, Basic Striped Tee, Zipper Flap Clutch, Draped Pocket Lyocell Skirt.

- I want these outlets in my house! USB plugs. Win.

- I’d probably spend more money if I had a Pantone VISA card.

- I love my wedding band. It’s simple and it’s silver. But lately I’ve really loved the gold bands.

- So proud of Jeni’s for being named one of the best sweets in America! Yeah Columbus!

- Ever since I saw Jewel share this link via Google Reader, I keep wanting to make sweet potato ravioli!

- Incredible picture from Gothamist.com. Crazy storms hit Brooklyn (and here in Columbus) on Thursday. I personally love storms so this photo isn’t too depressing for me. If it is for you….I apologize! Just be glad it’s not like this today.

- I agree with Caroline. I could live in this sweater.

- The Brick House is one of my favorites for home inspiration. I love this post about refreshing vintage wood.

- This back-to-school wish list is adorable. Sometimes I actually miss homework. Weird?

- These prints are amazing. Typography and truth. Nothing better.

- Stamps of disapproval. I’m all for motivation and encouragement but these are pretty great.

- Grey, letterpress, and pretty stamps. All of my favorites.

- These swimsuits are killer! Gorgeous.

Celebrate

Spent the weekend enjoying Columbus with my favorite birthday guy. Adam turned 25 today!
