Addicted to Pinterest
It’s clear I’m not the only one – I must pin about 5 or so things a day, and by my numbers compared to others (repins, likes) is minimal. Some people are pinning 100 times a day, and have 1k+ likes on an item. The process of ‘pinning’ totally justifies randomly searching the web for hidden gems.
More peacock goodness
Another Etsy purchase. It’s gorgeous!
I have started bookmarking all the things I like over at Pinterest more so now than this blog, so check it out!

Peacock love at Copy Cat Chic and Anthropologie
I was checking out Reichel B’s Copy Cat Chic blog for interior design ideas when I came across the post about her nursery… it’s peacock themed, and I LOVE IT. It seems to have been inspired by this lovely lamp:
Best of Etsy 2011 list on Re-nest
Re-nest just posted an excellent Best of Etsy 2011 list. Stuck at home on this foggy NY morning, I managed to find a beautiful Flamingo print from unitedthread, a very talented painter from Salem who I think I’ll be buying more from in the future. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

Urban Outfitters does furniture
Who would’ve thought? I used to shop at Urban Outfitters when I was a student living in Los Angeles in 2005. I then got a job and discovered dresses, so I graduated to Anthropologie.com… and never looked back… until now. Urban Outfitters does some very cool, very affordable furniture. Now to convince ACT that we really do need a fainting sofa in antique gold velvet and a teal coat rack… for $579 and $79 I don’ t think I’ll have to argue much!
Reichel B and her copy cat chic
I haven’t written here for a while. Much of the summer I’ve been away on holiday, plus I’ve changed jobs (the 9-6ish kind that pays the bills), moved house, started dogsitting little miss Winnie (the pug), AND am about to move my lovely fella into the house too – not 100% about that last bit as he sits beside me singing as I write – !!!
One of the most pleasurable parts of the above is the furnishing of our lovely new home – on my meager (but thankfully existent) public service wage!
