facebox



the coolest thing ever. 

stalling




i'm really just stalling before i do some serious homework. it's snow-raining (snaining?), and i'm looking at outfits from girls who can still wear shorts outside. today: many, many cups of tea. half a bag of peanut glossettes. savage love podcasts. messy hands from artin'.

outfits from stockholm streetstyle, and blushing ambition, my new favourite blog.

goodbye gordon!

I love this Clint Griffin painting.

Gordon left for home today and the mice are back! We watched as one crawled under the stove element.

tugboat printshop




obviously all i can think about is printmaking. i'm in the middle of my end of term project, a textless book about dead birds. i don't think i'll be taking any more printmaking at school, i haven't found a real passion for it yet, but i am looking forward to the end result of this project.

tugboat printshop. crazy amounts of work, totally beautiful.

cat food can



We have a cat guest staying with us. He's got his own room, plenty of mice to chase and a neighbour downstairs who lets him in. Gordon had a brother, but he ran away. So now he's an only-cat and cousin Greer has kindly brought him over for a milk and bread stay.

i wish this piggy was searching for the chocolate kind of truffle and not the burnt-looking mushroom sort. via david lebovitz's blog, which i have been reading for the past 3 hours. oh dear!

peter rabbit


this looks like the rabbit ring from modcloth. but i fear it may not be! i don't know who made this, but it's lovely.

woven, leather, sheer




i really wanted to go to value village today but remembrance day in nova scotia is a legit holiday. lest we forget. now i need to spend an enormous amount of time perusing etsy to fill the void.
