Beyond the Trees. 

About a month ago we got to escape for a little out of the city and camp in a lovely piece of paradise, Worthington State Forest. 

Runaways.

Newest from The Killers. Always thoroughly enjoying B.flo's style. 

Pamela Love. 

Pamela Love, the mother of wonderful creations which in turn are the (literal) objects of my affection. With a penchant for creating extravagant jewelry from various materials, such as gold to precious stones, the pieces her imagination births are simply magical. The most current one that I find myself pining after is the ellipse necklace & ring (I may have a minor addiction), which I came across on ShopBop's website. Not usually being one for jewelry, I cannot help but be drawn to these pieces that take me to another world. I guess I just cannot help but love Love!

The Sky & the Moon & the Stars..

Me. In my leopard. On my great-great-aunt's-now-grandmother's-sofa. 

     As I sit here reminiscing over my fried Ikea chicken and my Ikea meatballs and my Ikea cookies (yes, plural. Yes, two for a dollar! It's like thrift prices - version: food), I cannot help but think that I have failed to mention all the sweet furniture names (stating the obvious, I know).

How precious is Emmie Blom?

Or how about Emelina Knopp? (Sounds like a Downton Abbey character name, right?). 

Or Billy the bookcase!

These pictures are from Ikea.com, a magical place, sigh.  

My fried chicken & Swedish meatballs Ikean feast. 

On the hunt for new apartment furniture & decoration ideas. Ikea isn't complete without a visit to its cute cafeteria! Nomnomnom. 

Feng Shui

I can't even pretend - I am a HUGE fan of the library. I am pretty sure that I may be the only human I know that still gets that rush of excitement upon planning a trip to the library. However, I have moved on from the "Teen Novels" section and have become more acquainted with books that do not require so much…commitment? (Is that the right word?) That being said, my last few library loans have covered topics such as Indian metaphysics, acupressure and Ram Dass' newest spiritual installment, "Be Love Now" (as if I could not get more random). However, due to my anticipated borough move, I have picked up something that could be quite beneficial: 

Saw this in the Spiritual book aisle and couldn't pass it up. I also got "Feng Shui in 5 Minutes" by Selena Summers, which has a nifty "Question & Answer" book format. 

A Feng-Shui chart I uncovered from The Spiritual Feng Shui. 

This is just the tip of the ice berg!
