And here comes more wallet torture!
The wonderfully nice Eve (aka Eva Juliet) recently launched 3 new prints featuring motivational sentences!
Designed with vintage looking scrolls, design elements and typography, the black and white prints will help you breathe, smile and stay confident!
I really love her whole shop, aesthetics and words of wisdom (and have a few of her prints of my own to prove it!), and I’m sure you will as well! Take a peek! :)

Been thinking a lot recently about honesty and forwardness in my life.
Honesty and forwardness isn’t about being mean, or about not having tact. It’s about expressing feelings and thoughts without playing games with yourself and others. I think I have been much more of those words in the past few months after many changes in my life.
I am far from perfect at it, of course, it’s a skill to be developed with time! But, I’m going forward!
With that, I discovered that a lot of people say they want honesty, but can’t take it when they do… Pretty confusing stuff! lol
I am also hoping that the Unravelling online class I registered for a few weeks back, given by Susannah Conway, will help me explore that more in depth. Can barely wait for it to start! :D

I don’t know if it’s the future moving out that’s doing this, but I’m really into prints and decor these days! My Etsy faves are flowing with decor pieces and furniture and prints and art and vintage lovelies!
I’ve never really decorated any apartment I’ve been in since I moved out from my parent’s place, thinking I wouldn’t stay there for a long time, since it wasn’t really nice places or decor worthy… When I move this year, I’m going to remedy that this time, for sure, wherever I end up. I really need a HOME, a sanctuary, a special reassuring place, a cocoon, a whatever you wanna call it, not just a place to live!
SO!
Really loving this little Quebec shop I discovered today, Oh My Ampersand. Simple interesting quotes and designs that make me want to get the whole collection!
Oh, and I couldn’t resist buying this little vintage metal apple from SevenBC‘s shop. Too cute, right? It’ll look great in my future new place. ;)
A friend of mine had this quote in his MSN status… And I was like WHUT?
When he sent me to see the artwork to go with it, I was totally thrilled! This is gorgeous and the quote is totally enhanced!

I found these candles a few weeks back, and couldn’t resist looking around shop!
You see, I already have my candle pimp (I’ve been buying tons of them for a while now from ajscountrycottage, love them, addicted!) and I am a very loyal customer to her. But still, having a look is not a crime ;)
But I have to say Pur Bliss‘ packaging is wonderful and very attracting!! Maybe it’s as an ex-graphic designer that I write this, but anyway! Clean, simple, crisp and color coded.
Gotta love the look!

Have you heard of Blurb yet? I think everyone should know about Blurb. And not only because I like to say “Blurb”. lol!
I have heard of Blurb a while ago now, and wanted to talk to you about it once I had my own “blurbish” project in mind. But since I have no clue yet, I figured everyone would be better off just knowing about Blurb right away.
First of all, because even talking about the product, I love love love their identity, logo and complete branding. The website is attention grabbing yet does not scream, the actual color scheme is perfect but still leaves place for new ones in the future. Everything is right at it’s place and the navigation goes by easily!
Now, the product. Ever dreamed of making you own professional looking cookbook, portfolio, photo book, poetry or wedding book? Well, it’s possible, even at affordable prices! Hardcover or softcover are available, starting at 20 pages. Download the free bookmaking software (PC & Mac), gather your info and you are ready to go! You even CAN order just one book if you’d like!
If you just like buying book, head down to the Bookstore! There you’ll find hundreds of books made from people like you and me who just had a dream! You can sample preview them before purchasing, which will confirm your move!
One book I am dying to buy is Etsy seller LushBella‘s Blurb book, I Spy. It just looks like the perfect coffee table book, and I love Kerry’s photography work!
So now, you know all the basics of Blurb. What do you think? Do you have a Blurb book? Do you want to make one? What’s your project?
I still have to find my idea, but I will, eventually…

Graphic designer and artist, Géraldine Georges‘ (Belgium) work mesmerizes me! Her pieces exude such purity yet such detail. Perfect color combinations, collage and digital art. No wonder the NewYorkTimes wrote an article featuring her work on the first day of the new year!

I love love love this recent Norway campaign by Ikea! Other than the fact that the model is (to me anyway) scary thin, the whole visual idea is appealing, creative, it grabs my attention and I adore it!
