have been thinking of trees. i have all these plants in the kitchen mostly, and it makes me feel like a good person to take care of them and water them and not let them die. i am recalling an idea i had so long ago of a silhouette of a tree painted in the corner of the kitchen. we took a stab at it but it

wasn't what i was after. 

oh the lovely birch

what about this?

i have dreamed of trees on walls

or this?

even though pete says it is overdone, what the world needs is more cowbell, i mean pigeons

i think pigeons and doves are right next to each other, cooing and flapping in unison

maybe not for kitchen, though.

one more 

i think this would be a happy addition to any kitchen, a tree full of bubbles?

sigh. 

Fab Friday?

saw this on Fab.com, what do you think? Not sure it's for me, but it made me laugh. 

Hope it's a great day!

Vicarious Shopping

Every so often I like to pretend that I am actually going to buy something and make lists and put things in my virtual shopping cart. Like I pretend went to Ikea and had so much fun! My cart was overflowing with bounty! It was almost like actually shopping, but it was free. Oh, and the other part about about it was not actually getting anything besides a picture in my head...but I told myself that this way, I will be better prepared to actually make some decisions the next time I go to an Ikea store, rather than wandering around overwhelmed for two hours and then ending up with a Vardelfull  and a Solstrale. But never mind that, in my recent wanderings I happened upon some other neato stuff. 

But what I really want is a place to hang this hammock, like a sea shanty or a wonky treehouse. I could keep my map in there so I could find my way home.

Happy Friday!

I do have some hoarding tendencies, which is why the internet is just perfect. 

I can shop for whatever I want

and buy it in my mind

which is wonderful! I really save a lot on shipping

and make fewer piles, which really deserves a blog post all its own

moments of beauty

mine, all mine!
