A CREATIVE LINKY-LIST

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.

... Frank Capra ...

ART :

Catherine Campbell Portfolio.
I love this artist.
(see above illustration)

BOOK :

I am currently reading the Flavia de Luce Book 4: I Am Half-Sick of Shadows (said the Lady of Shalott ... the title alone should bring thrills to all Tennyson and Anne-with-an-E enthusiasts).  I started it last night and I could hardly put it down long enough to write this post.  For the rest of the week (or until I've finished), I'll be perfectly useless.  All that to say ... you simply must read it.

Other blog posts pertaining to this beloved series:

Flavia de Luce : A Book Review

Pie 

DIY :

Plumber Bookshelves.
Must have this in the coffeehouse. 

 

Beaded Bubble Wands.
I just think they're pretty.
Could be fun for a picnic, or a beach wedding.

Swallow Mobile.
Love.

FOOD :

Cherries.  Pretty, with minimal preparation.  Basically perfect.

Maggie Austin Cake Design.

Gorgeous.

Frozen Banana Bites.  

Need I say more.

Martha Stewart 43 Pizza Recipes.

YUMMM.

MOTHER NATURE (and architecture):

Dornob.  

An entire website filled with tree-houses, boat-houses, green homes, and urban design.
May I just say: SQUEEEEEE ♥ !

MUSIC :

 My latest obsession is Walk off the Earth.

{ I love them }

Especially the Gotye cover that got over a-bajillion you-tube views.

{ I'm listening to it right now, actually }

  

PINTEREST :

I made a new Pinterest board 
(because clearly I need to spend MORE time on that site).

STYLE :

It snowed last night, so naturally I just found a bunch of summer clothing that I want and need (need being used in the loosest sense of the word).  For example:

The Lory Dress: a lightweight striped maxi that I would never spend $242 on.

This incredibly cool t-shirt fringe scarf (above), that I will definitely be making.  

This little black dress with lace which is unavailable 

 because some feather-brain didn't add the original link.

This adorable bathing suit.  

(Again with the link thing, people.  How am I supposed to spend money I don't have on a bathing suit I don't need if I don't know where it's from?  The eternal question yet again!)

These Corduroy Vans, in a different color. 

(And speaking of shoes, aren't these the ugliest shoes you've ever seen?  

They look like they were made by a rhinestone-obsessed llama who hates feet.)

And of course, this Vintage Blanket Hobo Bag

(which I will never own because I need other things ... like a car.)

 

WEBSITE :

The Dog-House Diaries.

A web-comic series written by three singularly funny guys

obsessed with sandwiches.

Be prepared to waste considerable time here.

Two final thoughts before you leave:

Happy Monday!
