Waterstone Succulents

I loved these 'plants' and then I saw this quote from the artist and I just loved it I thought I would share!

"I’m quite a perfectionist, so I never put out anything for which I would make excuses. I have a healthy understanding that nothing handmade is ever perfect, though. My experience of owning an Etsy shop and buying from others reminds me that it’s the little imperfections that make handmade items so special. You can’t be an artist without having an appreciation for both the great abilities and limitations of the human hand in craftsmanship."

Fun with Polyvore

A Simpler Time Edition

Something about this outfit reminds me of a simpler time.  The gauzy dress with rich brown leathers and wood accessories add a nice mix of textures.

Monarch Butterflies

This beautiful insect starts off as a worm!  Okay well a caterpillar..
It's like the ugly duckling story which is one of my favs.
My grandmother loved these butterflies and they always remind me of her!

Curiosity is on Twitter - a MUST follow!

OMG so I know we have had other rovers land on mars but for some reason I am totally obsessed with the Curiosity rover.  Also now in the age of social media Curiosity is tweeting!  You have to follow it @MarsCuriosity.  P.S. I totally want that job of tweeting for Curiosity!
