Things you're happy to find when you move into a new house:

I'm house hunting yet again. We haven't found the right nest and I'm getting antsy. We have 1 month left until we have to leave the little box. After the great flood we were in a search frenzy, but we put those plans on hold after a few things happened. Now it's on and I'm not excited about it.

I couldn't be happier with it, Thanks Keirincycles.
Parker seems to dig it to.

still an obsession: white objects

So, I am fully aware that I am drawn to clean lines, elegant organic form and anything white. Here are a few pale pieces I've recently scored:

LCD write your own message, debossed card, 4x7" by Yellow Owl Workshop

I can't wait to hang this on my wall; I think the plain LCD symbol letterpress is so chic.

This precious Jonathan Adler stoneware Whale Pitcher my loving Bf recently surprised me with!

Here is my new whale friend doing his best flower vase impression.

*question: should i fill him with more lily's?
