Lisbeth Zwerger is my favorite illustrator. She. Is. Amazing. Please buy all her books so she never stops. One of my favorites is her Wizard of Oz. There’s a full spread of the characters in a field of red poppies that is so beautiful and whimsical and strange. It makes me want to live in her books.

My Vintage Vogue is an awesome website with a collection of images that chronicle fashions from the 1920′s to 1960′s. I’ve always loved vintage fashion photography, and this site is a great resource for inspiration! The photo above titled “Race Track Fashions” by Nina Leen is from a 1958 issue of LIFE Magazine. Check out the My Vintage Vogue blog for more photos.
I’m totally digging the clothing in this picture. The mixed check, houndstooth and plaid prints are still in style- just check out the modern interpretations of this retro fad below!

I really loved the composition of this photo by
Snorkiesnork on Flickr (via
oh joy! ). Not sure what the image is from, but the colorful cranes are adorable and seem especially fitting for an outdoor party. I think it’s the bright assortment of clothespins that really seals the deal– regular wooden clothespins wouldn’t make half the statement!
I’ve always loved origami. Cheap decorations, good for killing time in a meeting, and if you happen to get really good at it, you could always try your hand at recreating some of the gorgeous items below. The paper lamp shade and the earrings are my personal favorites, along with the sadly-still-just-a-concept paper crane tea bags. I’d absolutely love to make a quilt out of squares like the ones from Hanna Nyman and Marie Dreiman! Maybe when I retire..

This photo is both hilarious, endearing, and cool from a featured nursery on Apartment Therapy. By the way, what is that bunny doing there?
Big, decorative letters seem to be a growing trend in interior design. You can get these letters everywhere now. The hardest part is really which letters to buy and what to spell. Suggestions anyone? Or should I just create an homage to this blog, M-I-S-M-A-T-C-H-E-R-I-E?

Even though the fall is creeping in and the mornings are freezing in my apartment, an (seemingly) invisible bird outside my window insists on waking me up instead of letting my usual alarm clock do its job. Don’t birds migrate south in cold weather? What happened to this guy and why did he get left behind? Maybe I’ll try to catch him and domesticate him. OR I’ll just look at these lovely curiosities on boxes from Lyndie Dourthe! Amazing!

Oh, dreamcatcher. A proud tradition of the Ojibwe (Chippewa) tribe, a symbol of Native American unity in the 60′s and 70′s, and a kitschy piece of south-western memorabilia today. I remember having one as a child–it didn’t fit with the style of my room, but it served its purpose by regularly ensuring a monster and demon-free slumber.
The image above is from A Print A Day, a neat blog and resource for downloading free graphics–from stationery and gift tags to embroidery templates and photoshop brushes. I love this modern interpretation of a dreamcatcher, with bright colors and an unexpected floral pattern where the web would usually appear. The style reminded me of bohemian-meets-dance-hall-chic, translated below:
