stack of goodness

windows thrown open, flower pots back outside, chicken coop nests freshened...spring is here!

here is a stack of favorite things i have going on right now that brings me fresh color and inspiration:


henri quinta and his wife found potential in a run-down textile mill in france and brought it back to life.  the result?  les toiles du soleil.  quinta sketches stripes inspired by nature. find out more on their european website: les toiles du soleil


barn light electric's enamel ware struck a "yes" with me.  i'm always drawn to the dark blue camping mugs at outdoor stores.  see their wares at: barn light electric


spring wouldn't be complete for me without trips to wilco farms stores (country girl) and anthropologie (design girl).  their stores and catalogues help me to pare down my closet while finding new combinations and put the bug in me to rearrange all of my furniture. see their spring line at:  anthropologie


a great magazine?  the magnolia journal.  issue 2 revolves around true simplicity.  everything from how to plant spring bulbs and organize floral workshops to how people create white space margins in their day to rancher sheila good.

in their mid-60's, instead of retiring, she and her husband cultivated a space for family where she works the land, raises cattle, keeps bees, and tends flowers.  her favorite quote?  "if you let fear control you, your world will get smaller and smaller...instead i find dreams worth pursuing and don't let fear get in the way."

what's in your stack of spring goodness?
