ideas + inspiration + aesthetics

My love for fabric stems from my childhood days admiring at my grandmother’s stash of textile collection. During my wannabe-fashion-designer phase, I bought and collected any beautiful fabric that I could afford.

Despite being far removed from the fabric collecting days, I’m still excited to discover Tana Lawn’s new spring 2010 fabric collection. But of course, the somewhat practical side of me is telling me to just admire. {via}

Loving this simple pom pom mobile by PomLove, and especially its neutral shade of gray. I can’t help being reminded of the song “smoke gets in your eyes” …

I’m totally inspired by this pretty picture, taken from the portfolio of talented photographer Mark Lund. Large blooms of gorgeous pink shade peonies in a clear glass vase, makes a beautiful table centerpiece for a romantic meal or a dinner party. Simply stunning!

Fancy wearing a spoon around your neck! Perhaps, not for everyone, but if you’re a spoon collector, you may want to profess your spoon-love in the form of a necklace. Created by French jewelry designer Windy Chou, each necklace consists of a spoon embellished with crystals, rhinestones and porcelain. Spoon choices range from porcelain, wood to melamine. What a spoonful of delight!
