Hair New Era

Via Brown Button

I had fully planned to do another post this evening, but with the rain still coming down, the sky all dreary and dark, and our house warm and cozy, I must admit that I'm already wearing my PJs and pretty much hunkered down for the night. But, I will be back in the morning (hopefully a sunnier one at that!) with fresh new posts. See you then?

...what if your windshield wipers swept over this instead today?

I know it's pouring cats and dogs out here, but wouldn't this cheery rainbow be a welcome sight?

Dutch artist Helmut Smits created this windshield rainbow using acrylic paints like this:

Goood morning, all! It's so hard to get out of bed on a rainy Monday, no? I was able to drag myself out (reluctantly) this morning, and have been a busy bee all day so far - I'm hoping this momentum lasts despite the gray day. How about you? Are you dragging just a bit today or not minding the rain?

I was saving the above photo for fall (crunchy leaves don't seem quite right with spring in full swing), but the wellies caught my eye - I think some fun rubber boots will be just the thing to keep me going today.

Hope your Monday is quick and painless! Be back soon... xo, r.

Lovely.

And here are two little sea-worthy things I saw and liked recently, especially since they're nautical without being too over the top (as in a giant plastic crab, crappy ship replica or mound of buoys on your wall):

Saipua's ubiquitous go-to-hostess-gift: seaweed soap - made with nori seaweed, crushed sea salt, and rosemary - with the prettiest packaging to boot.


This chair is wicked good. Love how the knot totally makes what is an otherwise classic (and slightly boring?) chair into something so good. 214K chair by Thonet, as seen on Oh Joy.

My boyfriend B loves nature and being outdoors, though I'm not sure his science geekiness extends as far as cloud formations. But, if you know someone who is totally into that stuff - or a young child who might be fascinated with clouds (or just learning about them in school) - this 10 primary cloud formations print would be a perfect gift.

And, it's not only a really cool illustration, but it's also made with glow in the dark ink so it will glow long-past daytime gazing.
