nothing to worry about



the new peter bjorn and john album is out on tuesday...get excited with their "nothing to worry about" video!!!

ferns, ferns, ferns!





on friday, being so beautiful and finally feeling a bit like spring, i decided to do a little indoor gardening. i've had an available vintage bullet planter that i got from brimfield last fall that was waiting for some love. i picked up three varieties of ferns, a staghorn, alligator and some cute little curly one. i love the way it turned out and it brings such life to the room! i'm looking forward to planting our garden...warm up weather!

a few of my closests and myself have dreamt long and hard about traveling to india. a few months ago erich and i decided to make this dream into a reality along with our wonderful friend rose and my brother luke. we're planning for next march (march 2010). and why march? because that's when holi is of course! holi is known as the festival of colors and the welcoming of spring. check out more images of the holi event here.

st.germain elderflower



i love beer. good beer. but i am more recently a girl who loves drinking cocktails-- delicious ones! my two most favorite drinks, the grapefruit gimlet of the independent and the boheiman of green st are drinks that sum me up as a individual- sweet, but not too sweet, a bit of tart and sass and says it like it is, straight up! and what these two drinks share in common besides gin and grapefruit is the magnificent st.germain elderflower liquor. so i went and bought some and am trying desperately to recreate this amazing concoction.

scrapile



image and video from inhabitatshop.com


ever since i watched "the green" show on the sundance channel, i've been wanting one of these lovely pieces by scrapile. the founders of scrapile are two friends who collect, design and build furniture out of scrap wood. it amazes how beautiful the things we throw away can be; i plan on being more mindful in my own disposal.

dejarnette


i've always loved this artist's beautiful work... katherine dejarnette babin creates unique jewelry out of found and natural objects--everything from vintage lockets, fabrics, and even wood. i've always loved her "grow" necklace. check out her shop here.
