Wanted: Fuzzies!

I am not a flower/plant person.
I prefer them to be fake. I just can't keep up with the upkeep.

However, I had a real orchid given to me as a gift from my mother for mother's day (hey, furbabies count!) and it just made that little corner of the house so happy. I can definitely understand why people buy new fresh flowers every week for their home, but for now, I'll stick to fake. ;)

With that said, a new trend that I keep seeing pop up in all my home catalogs and blogs is what I have termed: the fuzzy flowers. I really really like these fuzzies and have found it absolutely necessary to have them in my home. However, I cannot find them ANYWHERE. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction!

They manage to make any corner of your home that much more fun and bright and alive. Must.have.

Plate Lust

I never thought I would see the day when I would lust over plates.
Well, the day is here.

These adorable plates are made by Sarah Cihat, who finds unwanted plates at thrift stores and then redesigns them into some of the most kitschy, adorable creations I have seen in some time. Unfortunately, they run between $34 to $59 each which make my pockets very very sad. Oh well, I'll continue to lust from afar.

Racing Stripes

In order to get some blogging inspiration, I have added some great new blogs to my netvibes this morning and found some great material! Thanks to Copy Cat Chick, I now believe that I am slightly obsessed with having a zebra print rug.

What do you guys think?

Oh, and I come bearing fabulous news: we are back in our condo! It's hard to believe, but we are finally home! So despite all my house hunting anxiety, I have decided to continue our renovations. Afterall, our condo has to reflect our pretty outstanding personalities, don't you think? ;)
