Still Life

I recently discovered the work of Jennifer Causey and I'm totally smitten. Her still life gallery is amazing.

Bubblegum

Art installations like this one make me so happy. This is "Bubblegum", a piece featuring 50 colorful balloons floating on the Weerwater in the Netherlands.

Orange Dark Chocolate Chip Scones

Recently, I've eating a lot of gluten-free food and I'm feeling more energized!  This recipe is so easy to follow and it's delicious. If you're like me and like to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning with some kind of pastry, you're going to love these scones!

Recipe from: Elena's Pantry.

Summer Stamps

Great Summer stamps (from last year) designed by Swedish design studio Fellow Designers. 

I've always thought that Swedes can do no wrong when it comes to design (or pop music). Am I right?

Manhattan Mettle

The other night I stopped for drinks at the W Hotel in Hoboken, NJ and saw this amazing art piece on the huge wall in the lobby. It's safe to say it took my breath away! Made entirely with metallic objects (think nails, dimes, pins and the like) and taking direct inspiration from the old docklands and waterfront industries of Hoboken, this artwork depicts New York City's skyline, and was commissioned to genius artist Ann Carrington. Isn't it something?

P.S. It reminded me of these numbers by Marian Bantjes.

Wallpaper Love

I'd always loved wallpaper, and these amazing patterns by Aimee Wilder have my heart racing! 

I'd wallpaper my whole apartment if I could!
