You know what I really love about this whole blog thing. Everyday (and I mean everyday I sit at my computer for hours) I find something new to inspire me and make me smile. Here is a little bit of where my blog hopping took me this week. Pretty amazing sometimes I cannot figure out where I found something- maybe I am clicking too much!!!

This beautiful still life piece just - ohh - I could just stare at it.... I first saw it this week on one of my new favorite blogs Automatism she has the best photos!! (Maybe that is what I like about blogs almost everything comes with pictures- I am terribly visual!) But then when I was looking at another blog my mama's table (which I found through Sunday Suppers) I saw it again and followed that link to the photographer's site (Umm hello!!!) Roland Bello- I think I am in love!! By the way see how easy it is to become click crazy!!! Anyway here are some of my favorite photos from this weeks click happiness...

The two bowl photos are from Gleena- and I have to say I am in love with all of their stuff- just amazing hand made ceramic pieces- makes me wish that I could fly out to Brooklyn to visit them at the Brooklyn Flea- which seems like it would be right up my alley!!

Photos from Roland Bello Photography and my mama's table blog.

Here's to more inspiring blog clicking this weekend I am sure!!

Dolan Geiman Bird art..

I have seen his work on The Scoop and a few other blogs and I just love it!! Dolan is an artist based out of Chicago and is heavy on the green (super eco conscious). His pieces are fun, creative and interesting!

Dolan Geiman's views on green: "I was taught at an early age that everything around me could have multiple purposes. These tenets provided a solid foundation on which to build a career as a found object and mixed media artist, satisfying a deep-rooted appreciation for turning the discarded and ordinary into the extraordinary."

This is an idea that I hope we can all pass on to the next generation, so many things in our lives can have multiple uses and can be saved from a sad ending in the landfill. Visit his website here to find out about his other green practices and to view additional art pieces.

So as usual I am partial to the birds.. You can find more of Dolan's work at his Esty shop.

Enjoy!

Treasure at Home: Vintage Jewelry Love

We visited my in-laws this past weekend for a little fun in the sun (except it rained).. Oh well it gave me time to chat and relax a bit.

My Mom- in -law was so sweet- we were talking jewelry and she brought out all of these fabulous vintage jewelry pieces.... I was in love!! She was nice enough to share some with me...

These are my new treasures- what a great way to reuse and vintage jewelry is so popular right now I will fit right in... So dig into those jewelry boxes and see what you have got or ask your mom what she has! If this doesn't work check out ebay and etsy and see what is out there.
