A beautiful trailor for a documentary about these amazing flying contraptions – I don’t even know what to call them, they’re so delicate and beautiful - I need the Float Documentary to come out so I can know more!

Monday Videos : Live the Language
February 28, 2011
I have seen so many great videos floating around recently I thought I would post several of them up today. These first ones I’m so glad Roger reminded me I had been meaning to post since I saw them over on design work life. They are created for Education First Language Schools and are an amazing combination of typography and videography – love!

I am not trying to make this blog all ‘wedding-y’ but since I am away this weekend AT a wedding – I figured it was appropriate. This camp wedding, found over on Green Wedding Shoes, has lots of cute little details!

Feeling Presidential
February 23, 2011
Well, it seems my blogging life has come to a bit of a halt this week – you know how life goes! I figured I would take the opportunity to get a few quick things up before I head out tomorrow to Ohio for a friend’s wedding. I’ll be doing a series of ‘Check it Out’ posts to direct you over to some neat things I’ve been seeing around lately – starting with the great find Roger pointed out for this Monday’s holiday {President’s Day}, the ‘Hail to the Chief‘ poster from 1Canoe2.
{I should be back hopefully on Monday with more regular updates!}

Skinny Laminx is one of those designers that I can’t believe I haven’t shared on here yet – great prints and patterns on several different products coming all the way from South Africa!
Snapshots {DIY}
February 17, 2011
This winter I decided to try my hand at forcing some bulbs indoors – it’s a great way to break up the dreary few months where sunshine is hard to find. It’s really simple, so I decided to put together a little step-by-step for everyone.
- Container for your bulbs {for Christmas I gave people bulbs in mason jars}
- Fish tank gravel {this is what I used, I think small pebbles would work as well}
- Bulbs {I purchased mine at home depot – paperwhite bulbs seem to be the common flower to force indoors during the winter}
1 – Put roughly 2 inches of gravel in the container
2 – Place bulbs into the gravel pushing down slightly so they are secure
{3 fit nicely in my container}
3 – Put in more gravel so just the tops of the bulbs are peeking out
4 – Pour water in until it’s just below the gravel level
Your bulbs will start to grow pretty quickly until they’re tall and produce fragrant blossoms.

What to Wear {Winter Coats}
February 16, 2011
It may be speaking too soon, but it sure does feel like it’s starting to head towards spring – Phil saw his shadow {or whatever means an early spring} and most of the snow seems to be melting. It didn’t feel like much of a winter, not too cold, not a lot of snow – I didn’t even have time to find a winter coat, or need to. These two were on my radar though. Love the color and the buttons on the mustard yellow one, and the pocket details on the olive sweatshirt jacket are fun.
