Nest Living is truly one of my favorite places to shop for modern home goods because I can get almost anything there (furniture, decor items, dinnerware, books). I am lucky enough to live just a few miles from the brick and mortar shop. But for those of you who don’t happen to live in Jacksonville or can’t make the trip, Shaan of Nest Living is offering free shipping on everything in the online shop until February 1st! Check it out right here.

Some of you may have noticed that the shop of the day posts have been non-existent the last couple of weeks. I have been struggling with how to incorporate the exhibition site’s featured shop of the day with the blog. I think I have finally come up with a good solution. So, shop of the day is back in business! Only now it will be a little different…more photos less words. I hope you enjoy it! And if you have any feedback for me, feel free to leave it for me in the comment section.
The newest papernstitch exhibition is now live and I am so excited about it! We have over 60 exhibitors ranging in category from jewelry to clothing, artwork to home decor. A little bit of everything. I can feel my wallet getting smaller just thinking about all the wonderful items I want to buy! Check it out right here.
Tomorrow (Monday) is the last day to enter the papernstitch giveaway on Creature Comforts. If you haven’t already make sure you click here to enter.
Letterpress Card Set- Blue Car from Heather Smith Jones
One of my favorite colors is blue. Probably because there are so many great shades (navy, aqua, turquoise…). Lately, I have been collecting images of things that I am inspired by, and I went and took a look last night at all the images I had been collecting. Almost all of them were blue. So, I thought I better do an all blue post. Here we go..
Heather Smith Jones is always churning out new pieces and I especially love these navy car cards. With all that blank space, you can customize a little message on the front to give it even more personality.
Tiny Dapple Earrings in Turquoise from Paige Russell and Zipper Bag- Orchid Blue from Jaturon
These accesories are perfect for someone on the go with simple style. I would wear these Paige Russell earrings everyday, and tote around this Jaturon pouch for makeup and other odds and ins I like to keep organized in my purse.
Whirlygigs from Michele Maule and Deerest Deer Artwork from Blue Tricycle
And of course, there is always artwork! Michele Maule has the most beautiful etchings. I just love the fragile lines and color scheme she chose for this print. And this downloadable deer print from the Blue Tricycle is as cute as it is affordable.
My Heart is Yours Tea Towel from Leanne Graeff
With the Valentine’s Day less than a month away, I have been thinking about reds and pinks (and hearts) a lot lately. So, when I saw this tea towel from Leanne Graeff, I instantly fell in love. She always comes up with the most original designs for her tea towels. I am going to have to break down and buy one of these pretty soon. It seems that I am always gravitating towards them for some reason. I keep thinking it would be really neat to wrap up a significant other’s V-Day present in one of these, as an alternative to wrapping paper. Then its like a double gift, because they will have the tea towel to re-use as well.
All heart and anatomy themed items at Silent Languages (Cartography of the Imagination) are buy one for a special price of $15 (instead of $18), get a mystery map print free! Just in time for Valentine’s Day, and it starts today. Make sure you head over to the Silent Languages shop and check out what Lauren has to offer.
