Everything thrifted and cheap!



The wonderful J. Craig is an organic genius. I love that when we go to estate sales she is ALL about finding organizational containers and jars and planters.

I've been wanting house plants for some time now and she suggested succulents. I figured I'd give it a shot since you have to water them very rarely and they look super RAD. So we headed over to her favorite greenhouse and I was AMAZED! The owner is totally chill and super knowlegable (he doesn't offer much info unless you ask). They grow almost everything there from seed to flower, so the prices are AMAZING. I snapped a few quick photos of things I though I'd like and returned a few days later after thrifting planters.

Now, $50 bucks may or may not seem like a lot of dough.. to me it is. But I know I got by a lot cheaper than I would have, had I purchased all these things new and/or pre potted. Word on the street is Anthropologie is selling succulents for $25 a pop! Holy cow!

Thrifted planters:
Copper hanging planter: $5.99
Yellow ceramic planter: $3.99
Terrarium bow: $8.99

Succulents:
5 for $25
Cactus dirt: 2 @ $2.49

I decided I need one more large/deep heavy duty planter for the taller cactus guy. He's already bustin out. Anyway, ta-da!









I stepped back and thought a "Behind the Scenes" photo was fitting. It totally gives away my thought process. This is why I would L-O-V-E a work space. Oh well. I do love my house on warm days.


And I love this guy. Monkey see Monkey do? Yes, most definitely.

to be: "a wanderer"

Just read this article from Refinery29 about ex Vogue writer, current GAP Director of Concept: Jane Herman.



I love her hair! My all time favorite hair is the Linda Evangelista late 80s early 90s cropped doo. As MUCH as I love vintage 1950s and 60s, I think its just an absolutely fantastic classic look. And I think Jane Herman is doin' it. If I were a skinny minny, I would too.



Every day I seek out treasures that are colorful and beautiful and witty, and I bust my hump and do my thing on my own.. and I love it! But I hope someday I can wander for someone who can also pay me to travel around the world for treasures!! Check out this little excerpt from the Jane Herman article.

You travel all over the world now for your job...what's the best part?
“The wandering, definitely. Because I’m looking for things that are either innovative or beautiful or cool or just new, often the best thing to do is get a little lost. It’s something that I never let myself do back at home. There’s really no better way to see a city than by walking its streets and shopping its shops all day long (sometimes I’m on my feet for eight hours). It sounds cliché, but you never know when and from where inspiration will strike. Just yesterday in Copenhagen, I found the craziest flower shop. It was like a bazaar, with birds in cages and a very fat, green pheasant roaming free. I’m looking for spring/summer inspirations right now, so stumbling onto this one was great luck.”
