Hello, hello! Just popping in to see how the long weekend is going for you. I am taking it easy today, but will be back to work as usual tomorrow. Before I head out, I wanted to share today’s shop of the day from the exhibition site. It’s handmade living shop Inklore with a special discount (scroll down for free shipping and 10% off your entire order).
(above) Linen Heart Pillow Slip + Quatrefoil Pillow Slip
Linked Linen Flap Clutch + Linen Heart Card
Reason to love Inklore: I am a big fan of linen; such a simple, beautiful fabric. And Sam Hirst, the designer at Inklore, is a fan as well. Almost all of her products are made with linen, as you can see. So lovely.
Use this special discount code: FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE US, ANY DAY OF THE WEEK and receive 10% OFF your order with the code VALENTINE.
Visit Inklore’s shop to view the entire collection of handmade living items.
I found this photo above on pinterest last week by Annette Pehrsson (which is beyond words beautiful) and it reminded me that I really need a haircut. Bad! So, maybe I’ll do that this weekend.

Modern meets traditional with the hand knotted jewelry of Osage Orange. I’ve written about Osage before, but I am always checking back in to Linda’s shop to see her newest designs.

Special Offer: 10% off at Osage Orange when you enter the code ‘papernstitch10′ in the coupon box upon checkout. Your discount will be automatically deducted from your purchase total.

So excited to finally show you all the Track This worksheet I’ve been working on for tracking your goals in the new year. To get your free copy, just type in your email address below and you’ll get your free Track This worksheet right away.
So let me tell you a little back story on this project. Months ago, I was listening to a video from Laura Roeder (who you may remember me mentioning in this recent video I did) and she recommended drawing a thermometer and putting it by your desk, as a fun, visual, way to track your financial goals. I thought this made a lot of sense. I am a visual person after all. So, I decided to create my own and test it out. The results have been great. I can quickly + easily see how close I am to meeting my months goals just by glancing at the chart, which helps me stay on track.
If you’re looking for a ray of sunshine on a cold winter day, check out today’s rainbow: multicolor craft supplies from Natalie Jost. Natalie runs a shop called Olive Manna (which I am sure you’ve already heard of), a small shop that packs a big punch in packaging and unique gifts.
Here’s a little more info about Natalie’s shop.
“Natalie’s designs incorporate general good steward practices, from the first sketches to the shipping room, while not sacrificing the quality + aesthetic charm for which the brand has come to be known.”
Visit Olive Manna now to add a dose of color to your life.
Is it too soon to be talking about Valentine’s Day? Because I love this shot through the heart necklace by Christine Domanic Jewelry. Everything in her jewelry shop is amazing.
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post for Organic Living called Seven Reason You’ll Never Want to Leave your Bed Again. And right after I wrote that post, I started to convince myself that I needed a daily nap. I never really went through with it. But its been on mind.
Then, last week, my buddy Shaan introduced me to Unison’s newest bedding collection that he is carrying in his shop, Nest Living, and truly, all I can think about now is crawling back under the cozy covers and taking an undeserved snooze. It’s not even 10 am. What is wrong with me?

If you never been to Shaan’s site before, I highly, highly recommend you head on over there. He does a really amazing job keeping the online shop stocked with the coolest, highest quality pieces I’ve seen when it comes to your home. And he’s a really nice guy to boot.
Visit Nest Living for modern design furniture and more.
