This week I have been anxiously awaiting spring, but sadly, it is nowhere to be found… Still freezing here. Luckily, I have some gorgeously, springy images to get me in the mood!
the fonts, the flowers, the layout. perfect
Such gorgeous inspiration, and check out Eddie‘s site to see it come to fruition!
No caption needed.
That same amazing fabric in one of the most gorgeous moodboards I’ve ever seen (from Knight Moves), she made a couple others that I wouldn’t mind my house either!
Some of the new artwork from Nicole of Sketch42, could you die? I am obsessed. They are photographs of her paintings. Genius.
I’ll be back later this afternoon to pull the winner of my Tilly Maison giveaway! If you haven’t entered yet, today is your last chance!
This past weekend I finally went out and really explored Chicago’s antique shops and I am so glad I did. I can’t believe it took me this long… I only bought a couple small things for myself, but I am seriously considering going back for the lucite chandy at the bottom.
Here is what I got for myself:
a little metal “a”
A precious little bowl I plan on filling with moss balls
Here are some of the goodies I sadly had to pass up:
How amazing would this piece be with a new shade and painted base?
The ikat upholstery was in perfect condition, and lucite?? Amazing.
Over a powder room sink? Yes please.
And here are some I am still considering…
I am still dreaming of this piece.
And this guy… a lucite chandy. I need this. Problem is, I want it for my closet and its a little bit more money than I’d like to spend on my closet. Still considering.
Best of all, the prices were really pretty reasonable. So happy to have discovered these gems. What are your favorite antique shops in Chicago? I need my next fix this weekend!
And if you haven’t entered my Tilly Maison Giveaway, tomorrow is your last day! You don’t want to miss this!
