I love this blanket from the Australian shop Third Drawer Down.  There color is stunning. I can imagine myself curling up with this blanket on my couch and watching a good film. So cozy! You can purchase it here

In Germany ladybugs are a sign of luck and all over the world they are sign of spring. I’m loving this new rug by Anthropologie (who else, I know I have a lusting after anthropologie problem). I think it would look so cute on my bedroom floor.

This morning a spent awhile browsing through Costplus World Market on a quest for scone mix and clotted cream. I can spend forever in  that store. Being there gives me access to many of the things that I miss now that I no longer live in Europe, and lets me try new things from all over the world. Its basically heaven. Anyway, enough rambling, here are some cool finds that the world market has to offer! You can them out either at your local store or online.

I love this windchime, it has great colors and just looks rad!

I also <3 this elephant teapot

Beautiful mini lanterns

It has started to warm up very nicely out here in Phoenix, in fact yesterday was so warm that Alan and I went to a local Irish pub and sat outside to enjoy some pints of Guinness and Harps. All this warm weather is making me wish that I had some patio furniture to sit on and enjoy the weather.  Here are some things that would be lovely on a small patio or balcony.

First off, a cute bright blue bistro set

Then add some lanterns and candles

And finally add some potted plants especially herbs such as Lavender, Basil, and Peppermint

This weekend Alan and I made a trip to IKEA. I love wandering through all of their display rooms, it  gets me really excited and thinking about new ideas for my apartment. For some reason since this IKEA trip, I have had the idea of clocks, as a home deco piece running through my mind.  They can be subtle or make a statement. Plus, its important to me to be on time, I hate to be late, so logically there would come a point where I would be enamored by clocks. So I have gone on an epic Internet hunt to find some cool timekeepers, here are some of my favorites.

I think that this clock would be so much fun to have hanging in a kitchen. It would be a great conversation starter.

A classic, yet oversized clock from Target

very very cool and unqie clock from AtlasSigns on etsy

This is my favorite clock out of the four. I love its modern, yet fun look!
