people's pops!

what a marvelous concept - a popsicle shop! Their shop looks super cute and who doesn't love a cold delicious popsicle...or shaved iced...

Visually pleasing and totally delicious! I can't wait to go visit.

Check out their blog, website, and visit the shop!

next time i host a party...

A friend from work recently shared a link for Baked by Melissa. She makes tiny mini cupcakes. I have a mini cupcake pan but I do not think the cupcakes are as little as these...

These cupcakes are so cute and the perfect size (you can try every flavor and not feel too guilty!) If you live in NYC go try them...if you don't live in the big apple - they ship nationwide! The flavors are so what limited - but it's an adorable idea.

I also discovered Hammond's Candies. I remember having a lemons with candy straws in elementary school...

Hammond's sells candy cocktail straws. Think of all the fun drinks you could sip through these delicious beverage accessories...

big jars

I am slightly obsessed and keep going back to Elizabeth Lyon's website to look at these glass jars...

The colors are bright and vivid - they are just beautiful. These jars would add a vibrant pop of color to  any room. They have officially been added to my wish list.

terrarium

I finally made my terrarium! My lovely boyfriend was kind enough to pick me up some potting soil on his travels yesterday. I thought when I ordered the starter kit from Terrain, it would include everything I would need. Silly me, it didn't include soil!

Since I posted about purchasing terrarium materials (about two weeks ago) two of my succulent plants died. I was upset about this but then realized I wouldn't have had space for them anyway. I am currently on the hunt to find a pretty bird or little gnome (my sister suggested tiny monkeys) for decoration.

I am very pleased with how my first terrarium turned out. I already have my next container and will pick up some little plants this weekend!

city vs. country

I go for weeks loving being in the city - thinking that I could stay here forever. Then I see something like this and I want to move to the country. Two barns (a studio and guest house), a pool, a garden, room for Sophie to run around... check out the selby for more awesome inspiration.

summer project #1: jar some pickles!

terrarium obsessed

I went to the Philadelphia Flower Show this weekend specifically to visit one booth, Terrain.

I have recently become terrarium obsessed. As a birthday present to myself I bought a big glass container, 5 small plants, and then ordered the starter kit from the Terrain website, as they were out of charcoal soil and stones at the booth.

My starter kit arrived last night. Tonight I make my very first terrarium.

David Maisel

Design Observer is my current homepage. I read Adam Harrison Levy's essay Deaths Bloom this morning and found myself unable to look away from the accompanying photography.

"From 1913 to 1971 five thousand one hundred and twenty one mentally ill patients were cremated on the grounds of the Oregon State Hospital. Their remains were sealed in copper canisters. The canisters were stored in the hospital’s basement until the 1970s when they were moved to a memorial vault underground. The vault was subjected to periodic floods. In 2000 they were removed from their institutional crypt, placed on plain pine shelves in a storeroom, and were left virtually forgotten until David Masiel heard of their existence and photographed them..."

Please go read the article. Look at the images. The exhibition catalog, Library of Dust, is officially on my wish list. These images are ephemeral and beautiful.
