Friendship Necklaces and the Weekly Roundup

1. These necklaces remind me of friendship bracelets....on acid at a jam band concert. Pretty awesome.

2. Marimekko everything. Spent a lot of time playing and eating in the Swedish neighborhood of Andersonville on my last trip to Chicago, and now I've got Scandinavian on the brain.

3. Seems I'm a bit behind, I've seen images from the Brick House around for a few months now....but I just discovered their source. Everything in the home cost under $100. How did they do it?!

4. These lovely photos from Cartagena have me dreaming of a South American vacation.

5. I literally want everything in this store. 

6. Paintings by Katherine Sandoz. I'm obsessed with colors, and she's got lots of 'em.

The fairest wall (and the Weekly Roundup)

1. Absolutely, without a doubt, the coolest wall that exists (sorry, China)
2. Really tempted to try these homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs for Easter....maybe substituting marzipan for some of the creme?
3. Continuing the Easter theme....how cute are these and these baby animals?
4.  Big, beautiful flower arrangements I can't wait to try once flowers come back to the farmer's market.
5. Last week it was wildflowers, this week its this photo making me yearn for places from my past.
6. A beautiful post on balancing your passions and motherhood.

An Amazing Attic (and the Weekly Roundup)

1. This thoughtfully designed attic would be the perfect vacation home. Big windows, plush furniture....and its in San Sebastian.Whats not to love?

2. Interactive Style Maps from the NYTimes Magazine. Click on a city and watch the streets populate with cool places to eat, sleep, and shop!

3. A magnetic string of vases, perfect for the flowers you'll be picking this spring (see below).

4.  The Wildflower Report is like the eagle cam for flowers: shows you when and where wildflowers are popping up all over desert USA. The Texas photos are making me seriously homesick (but California's flowers are probably the prettiest).

5. My next breakfast experiment.

6. This big and bold loft bedroom from April and May.

Wilfred and the Weekly Roundup

1. I'm a little behind (this is their winter collection), but I just discovered the amazingness that is Wilfred.
2. I'd love to take this food photography class from William Brinson. Just 4 hours and $275 away....
3. I'll probably never be able to afford any of it, but this auction house has such an awesome collection of modern furniture and art.
4. Superbly edited recipe how-to videos from Elephantine.
5. Incredible rugs (and incredible homepage!) from Loom.
6. Breakfast is definitely my favorite meal of the day, which is why this blog is so awesome.

Weekly Roundup

 1. New photos and a new book from Josef Hoflehner, whose black and whites (above) just blow me away.
2. The blogger behind my favorite blog, Destined to Design, started a magazine that is sure to be great.
3. The Makers, a photo chronicle of artisans in Brooklyn.
4. These enchanting string gardens and flower walls.
