No, I mean throw ME the towel. Preferably one of these awesome little beauties from Leif Shop. Maybe one of these might make washing dishes seem like less of a chore!
OK, maybe not. But they would sure add a little artsy to your kitchen! Go to the Leif Shop website to purchase and see more!
When we arrived in Seattle and pretty much for the last few weeks, the weather has been glorious. As in uncharacteristic bright skies and unseasonable warmth. At first we thought it some kind of cosmic joke– we’d left Florida, then most recently the California desert, to escape the heat, thinking we’d be safe from it in Seattle.. But we found that we didn’t flee in vain. The grey skies, soft drizzle and cool temperatures returned this week, leaving me ready for a quiet day spent doing rainy day fun. Here are a few artsy essentials I found to aid in the soggy fun!
On damp days, we love to sit for hours in a coffee shop, chatting and reading. Mr. F likes to tour breweries ( that’s on sunny days, too 😉 ) and I love to spend rainy afternoons wandering around a favorite art museum. What are some of your favorite activities for the days of grey?
There is something about this time of year that makes me long to go back to school. OK, maybe not. But I do look longingly at the school supplies on display everywhere, wishing I had a reason to buy a Trapper Keeper and some brand new #2 pencils! Not only do I love Anthropologie for their use & promotion of work by artists I love like Sarah Ashley Longshore and Dolan Geiman, but they also have a beautiful collection of studious accessories perfect for any artsy. Here are a few of my favorites–
Happy Valentine’s Day, Artsies! I hope you have plenty of love being lavished on you today and lots of folks in your life to love on. Here’s something I love: serving pieces that are a perfect balance of function, beauty and artistry. Here are a few beauties I found, pretty enough to serve the ones you love!
Hope you enjoy a wonderful V-day, hope it includes a meal with your favorite person ( or people ! ) and if served from a beautiful, handmade bowl, even better!

Please enjoy this oldie by goodie while I spend the next two weeks camping, packing, visiting with the mom-in-law and moving from WA to OR. See you in September!
Art
Art isn’t just limited paint on a canvas or carved marble. Anyone who knows me knows that I love shoes, so these babies by Israeli born designer Kobi Levi won me over at first glance. Amazing stuff! I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did!
