::lab glass::

I  love the juxtaposition of these two pieces. A flower + laboratory glass. It's just perfect-- especially vintage flasks, test tubes and beakers.

::artist spotlight // wood&faulk::

I've got a weak spot for leather goods (case in point). My experience working with leather on my own is limited to a pair of leather strip earrings. Just a few snips with scissors. I'd really love to make a nice bag for my camera. Lately, I've been lugging it around in an old cosmetic bag-- shameful!

When I came across Matt's work over at Wood&Faulk my jaw dropped a little. He creates top-notch pieces using mostly wood and rich leather. There's so much craftsmanship and quality that you can see in each item he produces.


Plus, there's great gift ideas for the guys in the Wood&Faulk shop. My little brother would love that ax shield and I'd love those canvas and leather bags.

::darker side::



Most of the time I'm browsing light and bright imagery, so it was a nice change to stumble upon these sepia images by RYö KöBö. They give off such a mysterious feel. Simply beautiful.

::a favorite // incubus::

This has been my favorite band since middle school. I had a friend that would usually go to their concerts when they were in our area, and she somehow always had an extra ticket. However, my parents didn't think it was wise for two middle school aged girls to go to concerts together. So, 12 years later, Jay surprised me with tickets to my first Incubus show. He took me again last year for my birthday. He really does love me.

Came across this new video of "Nice to Know You" and had to share.

::exposed::



When it comes to a home, I'm all about the details-- built-in cabinets, vintage door knobs, those oddly placed tiny windows and exposed beams. That look of tall, crisp white walls with natural wood ceiling beams is such a show stopper, and they add so much character to a home. I'm keeping my fingers crossed (tightly!) to stumbled upon some of these details when we start the house hunt.

::lookbook inspiration::



I'm starting to save more style images I come across on various blogs, photog sites, editorials and Pinterest. Once I list some of the vintage clothing collection, I'd love to put together a fun lookbook. Nothing too wild. I envision more casual and candid shots in outdoor settings. There are lots of creative folks around the area and I'd love to start collaborating with others that share the same love for vintage, pretty photography, styling and adventure.
