i think we’ve had a good week here, don’t you?  i’ve had so much fun chatting with you all!  i’ve got some more really fun stuff planned for next week, and hopefully i’ll be fulfilling a promise i made long ago on monday- i’m at least going to try!

i had so much fun doing my first mood board, that i’m going to stick to what i said and do some more!  this one of course, was inspired by valentine’s day. cupcakes, cinnamon cookies, dark chocolate and russian tea- yup, that about sums it up!

do you see the soap bar in the middle? that is yummy chocolate soap by mojo spa- and it’s incredible! it smells so delicious.  what could be better than having permission to rub chocolate all over your body? :)

pretty little things like these vintage buttons really me, i love looking at all the little details in life.

what are you doing for valentine’s day? i think we’re going to lay low this weekend and spend the day at home with movies and a nice dinner.  i really want some new bubble bath, i haven’t had any in months! so i’m just putting that out there- sweetie, did you catch that?

xoxo!

don’t you just love feel good art?  the peach pit has been making me feel happy all weekend.  her art is all so springy, fresh and pretty- for some reason, it just puts a little pep in my step!  to go along with her feel good art, she’s also got a feel good blog. have fun visiting her world, and remember- each day is new!

this is my project inspiration for a blogging class that i’m taking by the lovely holly of decor8, what do you think?  these are things that truly inspire me, and the colors and soft palette make me feel so feminine and peaceful!

this was fun, but even more so therapeutic, and you guessed it! inspiring.  so, i hope to start doing more of these to share with you.  it’s important for all of us to gather the beauty in our lives that inspire us, don’t you think?
