Lovely Things #7

Hello! YAY! Another Lovely Things post comes together. I’m clearly feeling pretty summery over here and I feel like a lot of these things would be nice wedding gifts or birthday gifts for Cancers and Leos. My birthday is coming up and I’m trying to resist the melancholy, but I suppose that’s probably futile. I’m pushing it back by being really enamored with what people are making right now and having fun doing deep dives into handmade magic rabbit holes. I hope you like my finds, too! See MORE LOVELY THINGS. ♥

Stone fruit is coming, so I’m thinking about this Peach Maple Soda recipe.

I’m pretty cuckoo over Trine’s hanging ceramic rainbows.

Jane is making so many lovely things! Her linen pillows are just one.

All these tasseled linen throw blankets are so pretty and perfect for summer nights.

I think one of these stained glass panels might be my birthday present to myself this year.

Love this sweet patio daybed and it’s currently on sale for 20% off.

These silver knot heels are super cute for summer parties and events. And the flats!

Ooooof… I cannot stop staring at this Venus dinnerware. So beautiful!

Yum. A lavender sea salt rimmed margarita sound AMAZING. And ROSE!

These matte blush mugs are my current favorite to sip my morning coffee from.

I’s like a whole set of these handmade oak and leather dining chairs — or just one.

I’m in love with this handmade ceramic chess set.

This sculptural gold mirrored pendant light is absolutely gorgeous.

STUNNING. I love this handmade bleached maple and handprinted paper lamp.

This simple ivory one piece swimsuit is a classic that will look good with jeans and skirts.

If you have deep pockets, my birthday is June 26 and I love this quilt. Just sayin’.

Still feeling this marble and blush wallpaper.

Piles of cheerful, pretty printed pillows make me really happy.

I love this silver vintage alarm clock! And its beige-y pink buddy.

A perfect black linen summer dress! Just add tights and a cardigan for fall.

These beautiful sculptural brass statement earrings are so elegant.

I imagine this citrus and wood fragrance smelling like heaven on a warm breeze.

I’ll be over here — drooling over this dreamy brass and glass ring.

Pretty storage time — love these marble boxes and dishes.

So cool. These wall-mounted kitty houses would be a sweet alternative to a boring cat tree.

Lovely Things #6

What the what? Yes, my friends — here is another installation of Lovely Things and it took me less than a month in-between to do one! A roundup of some things catching my eye lately. Maybe the common thread this time is luxe European 1970s mixed with luster, botanicals, and pink clouds. Find more Lovely Things roundups to ruminate over HERE.

Oooohhh… HELLO. I love these eyes of pearlite earrings.

This crinkly mango jumpsuit is super cute and so is the rest of the collection.

Still loving these cute pink striped pajamas.

A tube top and a jumpsuit had a really cute dusty mauve baby.

Love these nudie lady earrings in rose gold from a cool collaboration.

I’d very much like to have one of these chalky pink face tote bags.

I don’t know what it is, but I really like these odd colors together.

Fantastic! The mural installation of the acoustic tiles in this boardroom are amazing.

This gem table is a total stunner — as is the whole collection.

I really love this setting moon print — it reminds me of 70s stretched canvas art, but gilded!

I just got myself this cute marbled pink clouds travel mug. Love it!

BRB — going to go to New York to sing love songs to this beautiful, nectar-hued sofa.

My heart is doing flips and twirls over the beautiful 1920s photos in this book.

This Georgia-based artist has so many pretty art prints in her shop.

This DIY for vine wall hangings is pretty cute. It’d be nice in almost any room.

I regret not buying this painting. Took a snooze and lost it!

I love this painting by artist Einar Jolin. She looks like Winona Ryder and Vivien Leigh!

Gotta get my nose on this perfume pronto. Bergamot, rose, and salt water!

One of each of these solid brass geometric incense holders, please.

I’m feeling these white pepper and salt mills. French classics!

Did I just fall in love with copper bundt pans?? Yep. These are special.

I adore this image from the book In Bloom by Ngoc Minh Ngo.

Don’t you just want to run towards these botanical garden doors? Photo by Samuel Zeller.

Lovely Things #5

Hello! Behold — the Lovely Things #5 post — FINALLY! I’m not really finding a cohesive thread through this edition, but maybe it’s seashell colors, statement pieces, and dreamy states of mind. And bookends? Well, whatever it is — here are a bunch of wonderful things that have caught my eye lately. Find more Lovely Things roundups right HERE.

An ice cream pink jumpsuit that’s coming out this spring from Steven Alan. ♥

A simple shell pink cotton sundress with pockets. Love the back!

Still eyeing that lovely striped top with the cool sleeves and neckline. Also available HERE.

This whole look is stunning, but I especially love that linen duster.

I’m not typically a purple person, but I’m really feeling this lilac balloon-sleeved cardigan.

This washed linen caftan is beautiful in both black and ivory.

This new turquoise and diamond jewelry collaboration is a wonderful sight to behold.

I’m really enjoying this pleated cream dress and the whole knit dress and skirt comeback

I think I might be having a bookend moment — this marble ceramic bookend is stunning.

This cool matte vase caught my eye because of its shape and because it can hold branches.

Love the little Botticelli-inspired Venus embroidery on this shirt!

I like this lady’s style and her beautiful living room.

I kind of want everyone to wear these amazing marigold sunglasses this summer.

Yep. A lot of us have citrus and flowers on the brain right now.

All these new sculptural hair adornments make me so happy!

These cute studs are making me want to get my ears pierced a second time!

These seamless brass beauties are perfect hoops to have.

Eeeeee! The drawings on this French tarot card set are captivating.

You don’t think it’s possible to fall in love with bookends until it happens.

Like a walk in the clouds — these dishes are just soooo dreamy!

I’ve been really into cinnamon rolls lately, so I think I’ll try this recipe (and add cardamom!).

I’d be pleased as punch to spend all summer days lounging in this English tea shed.

Lovely Things #4

I’ve got home goods on the brain right now and a need to make everything a bit more serene. That sums up Lovely Things #4. Wood. Copper. Soft, splatter-y prints. Also, a getaway. I could really use a getaway in a Norwegian cabin. Check out lots more Lovely Things roundups!

I want to hole up for a month or two in the peaceful Norderhov Cabin.

I love the new Blushing Taupe Blooms Wallpaper and all the rest of the new designs, too!

I love this wood and brass tray! Breakfast in bed or a nice coffee table spot to put candles, coasters, and incense. This reminds me of my art deco one.

These brass and mirror trays are great, too. I love these for dressers, vanities, or pretty toiletries in the bathroom.

Oh, helloooo! I love these new Black Bubble mugs in both sizes. I want to stare lovingly at one while I sip my morning coffee.

I love this collection and all the rest of the amazing new home goods.

All these candles smell amazing. I’d love a mini candle box set.

I love this fringy Coyuchi linen table runner. The wildflower runner is beautiful, too.

It’s hard to find a cute dish rack — this one is probably the cutest one ever.

These copper watering cans are a handy classic — and easy on the eyes so you can leave it hanging out with your houseplants.

HELP. I want all these pretty standing planters. Especially the grey and the rose pink ones.

First, I need a mudroom with cute tile and beautiful molding. Then I need this oak bench to put in it. And all the planter pots and things.

Lovely Things #3

Hello! Here we go with another installment of Lovely Things! This roundup seems to be feeling the love for tomato red, hot pink, muted apricot hues, grids, black straw, abstract art, mid-century, and cool vintage babes. And shoes. I really want some new shoes and I’m kind of loving those red booties, but I always end up with practical neutrals for autumn. We’ll see — maybe I’ll go rogue this year! Check out more Lovely Things roundups HERE. ♥

I know I’ve been talking a lot about sunglasses, but I also love these Acne Studios shades.

My friends at Seamwork put together this beautiful Painting with Dye tutorial.

Errrrmaghuuurrrrd. I love this beautiful bar cart. I also have a spot for it. Help.

I just love this lounge-y color story and subtle middle finger from Vogue in 1950.

This Primary Color Grid is one of my favorite silk scarves by Mengly. (More HERE)

Aaaaahhhhh! This cubist bookshelf is so dreamy. Love the colors.

YEP. Still in love with these low pom pom baskets at Beklina! (local Portland peeps — check Woonwinkel for a great selection of them too)

Flying saucer? Little black hat? Such a great little incense burner.

This is a pretty good defense of carnations. They can be SO LOVELY.

There’s just something about red suede shoes.

These hand-woven recycled plastic bags are so pretty. The large tote, please!

All of these things, please. I like all the cute new takes on tassel loafers/oxfords lately.

Just lounging around under a net in red swimwear as ladies will do. Photo: Erwin Blumenfeld

Gimme these tomato red suede booties. So cute and more chic than super hero.

Amazing pic by Cecil Beaton from 1951 with a Jackson Pollock painting backdrop. NBD.
