inhabit...surround yourself

Okay, so you want to focus on the rear of the picture – the wall. What is it? It’s a wall flat designed by a company called Inhabit, founded by designers Jennifer and Mike Tuttle - a husband and wife team.


This embossed wall flat (SHAN-Shangri La) is designed to expand in any direction with an automatic pattern repeat. One could cover a not so amazing wall or just have fun with space and form by mixing and matching patterns. One could even paint to coordinate with your décor!

These wall flats are said to be good from the environment being as they were made from bamboo pulp - one of the world's most renewable resources. The dimensions of these flats are 18” x 18” and ten panels come in a box. No clue on how many of these you may need…there’s a tile calculator on the site. How cool is that (my mom would love that)?

Take a peek here. There are other patterns to choose from.

Enjoy!!!

p.s. ...check out the website overall...good finds

Lily of the Nile

Above, is one of my new notecard flat sets, "Agapanthus". The plant otherwise known by its common name, "Lily of the Nile", is a herbaceous perennial plant native to South Africa. This plant has funnel-shaped flowers, in varying shades of blue colors with white flowering forms occurring.

This set of Flat note sets come as a set of 12 (envelope include) in magenta. These note flats can be purchased blank or personalized with your name or your favorite persons name. Don't have a "favorite" - personalize this note flat with any text of your choice (for no additional charge).

This note flat and other items can be purchase via my website or my Etsy shop.

I've been printing all night and a lil bit weird this morning. On the other hand I found this cool 80's station on Friday that I've been listening to in between the Ipod and NPR. Truth is I am a NPR junkie and was trying to give NPR a rest this weekend...or at least until today.

aaaaaaaahhh allergies

While sitting at the stop sign in my car, in preparation to turn (because I'm a cautious driver), I look over and I see beauty in bloom...then I sneezed!
