linen kitchen skirt

 

Today my mom came over and helped me make this linen skirt for under my kitchen sink. I am really happy with it. There is virtually no natural light  in my teeny kitchen , so I had to take the photo at this weird angle. I am trying to use what I have to make my apartment more homey. Its fun! I am not a fan of my counter tops though. Does anyone have DIY tips for countertops (for rentals)?

daylesford organic

         

So, I am going a bit crazy here. Jane posted about Daylesford Organic and I am swooning. Go have a looksie at their website and peruse all of their different locations around London. They are basically a bakery/cafe/farm/butcher/kitchen. It sort of varies with each location. At the Pimlico location they even have fresh flowers. I want to be the flower girl there!

buttermilk biscuits

 

It's strange but I've actually been cooking lately. The other day I made Buttermilk Biscuits with Green Onions, Black Pepper, and Sea Salt. Yummy!

This is a very cool place. If you are a paper lover like me, you'll like it too.

noa noa at narcisse

 

Thanks to Abby's recommendation, I popped over to this new store called Narcisse yesterday. It's pure poetry. The best part though is that they carry Noa Noa! I was pleasantly surprised by the prices too. Narcisse doesn't have a website yet but if you are in the Portland area check out their shop over in the West End at 1015 SW Washington. Narcisse is the only retailer in the U.S. to carry Noa Noa.

*Updated: Check out Narcisse's new website and blog!

hello lucky letterpress

 

Love these letterpress details designed and produced by Hello Lucky. The invitations were inspired by vintage fruit labels. More of their fabulous work here.

romantically dark walls

 

Eating my words as I write this. I LOVE black and midnight blue walls. Thanks, Domino! In case you don't have their new issue, it's chock full of dark walls.
