I love how Sarah Perlis works with gold. And don’t you just adore her ginkgo leaf logo? I hope she incorporates a ginkgo leaf into her designs, besides the simple leaf she uses.

Her store is here so that you may purchase something for me like this ring.

I am honest about my faults. People sometimes think honesty erases these things, and I’ve learned they do not.

Remember that one bout of creativity I had? It’s a shame because I used to make things all the time, but I finally recruited Jenn to help me sew this pillow as a gift for my friend. Apparently he asked for this three years ago…well better late than never!

You have no idea how accomplished we felt after making this simple pillow. And that is Jenn’s adorable dog.

I’m not sure why, but ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved antique blue/cobalt glass. Someday, when I’m a big girl with a real house, I want at least one in every room.

Actually I do have a “blue bird of happiness.” That’s like 1 room down, probably about 10 to go?
