Mixed Media Journals ~ Lovely Fever

I really like these journals made by the talented Jessica at Lovely Fever on Etsy.  While I haven't journaled in a long time, owning one of these would inspire me!

I love how he performs this variation!

 

Joscho Stephan Trio - Playing Minor Swing

Django Reinhardt's Minor Swing is one of my favorite jazz pieces.  I've heard a lot of great versions, but this one is amazing!

Kallianthi by Harlequin

  

I was at Design & Detail today looking for a replacement fabric for a client's sectional, on a strict time schedule, when this wallcovering book from Harlequin made me stop and take a look. I've seen it before and liked it but today I was smitten. I love the patterns, the colorways and the fact that it is priced less than most of my favorites.

 Pattern: Nettles  The photo doesn't do it justice. The color is wonderful and the scale and drawing of the pattern is beautiful.

 Pattern: Persephone   Another pattern with wonderful scale and colors.

 Persephone again.

 Pattern: Grasses  The silver grass on the fuchsia background is stunning.

Pattern: Demeter Stripe  Bold and Amazing

Kallianthi is a stunning group of wallcoverings. I can hardly wait to use it for a client project.

You can see some of my other favorite wallcoverings here.

I am in love (lust?) with this lampshade from Victorian Trading Co.   It would be perfection in my boudoir....
