photo opp.

I have a thing for photography. I incessantly scour the corners of internet for images that I find inspiring and beautiful and post them here in the hope that you do, too. After weeks of anticipation, I finally start my photography classes tonight. I’m going to spend less time looking and more time actually doing – and I’m really excited about it. Wish me luck!

family tree.

One of my loveliest friends is going to be a mom soon. Aiieee! I’m so excited to meet her little bebe and give him/her lots of belly rubs. I saw this adorable custom family tree print and thought it would be a perfect ‘welcome to the world!’ gift. Cute, huh?

love note.

I love this print – I think it would look especially lovely hanging in my bathroom. There, it would be one of the first things my tired eyes would read each morning, just before I adjusted the shower and got ready to start the day. Early morning inspiration goes a long way, I think.

map love.

Living in Toronto is wonderful but there is one thing I really, really miss: my family! My heart is scattered across the globe in big pieces and it’s for this reason that I gasped so loudly when I stumbled upon this idea. I’m going to DIY my very own heart-shaped maps this weekend.

 Have the loveliest weekend. xo!

my type.

I really, really love typographic prints. I recently purchased one that reads, simply: “a little bird told me” and for that reason, it’s perfect. I think these are cute, too.

But most of all, I love the Smiths:

This morning was one of those dizzyingly pretty, snow globe-type days. I really like winter… well, until February arrives with its dreary weather and not a happy holiday in sight. This, however, is exactly why I fully embrace Valentine’s Day. Whether spent with my best girlfriends and a bottle(s) of wine, my bf, or enjoying one too many chocolates at my desk, it’s a welcome escape. Why not separate one lackluster February day from the rest and make it prettier in comparison?  

I love these sweet Valentine’s ideas from etsy:  

adorable scrabble print.

 

  

love bird glassware.

 

heh.

 

  

robots need love, too.
