Spanish villa

: : since our summer vacation in the .Costa Brava region of Spain. last summer, we've been dreaming about owning a house in Spain. A house like this one on .IKEA family live. would do. *smile*  I love that there seem to be no barriers between indoor and outdoor space, they just blend together.

Scandinavian Summer days

: : being reminded of Swedish summer days while looking through the blog .forever is today. Beautiful photographs that capture the true essence of Swedish summer lifestyle. Nothing beats Swedish summer days with friends and family....nothing! How I miss them.....and that magical golden light.

Common Boston monochrome party tonight!

 
: : I for sure can't pass up on the opportunity to dress up in monochrome and party together with other designers and artists. My outfit is already picked out, it's going to be all different shades of pink. The Common Boston group is kicking of their event week with the (d)Party tonight at the Artist for Humanity Epicenter. Come join us! The party is organized by my two lovely friends, Katie and Mary.  

Connect with Boston’s architecture, design & non-profit community for drinks, DJed tunes by Mark E. Moon and DJ Pink Sweatshirt from the Big Digits, and good times in head-to-toe monochrome among inflatable dressing rooms, which you can use to change if you are short a single-color outfit (rent one in exchange for donating $10 or 5 pounds of clothing to local used-clothing charities). While you are there, get the scoop on Common Boston Week 2010, mingle with friends and like-minded folks you never knew before. We kick this party off at 6pm June 17 at the Artists for Humanity Epicenter, 100 West 2^nd street, South Boston. 21 and older only, please.

Favorite online magazines

: : This past year was a sad year for the magazine industry. I still miss my domino and gourmet.
They left an empty space behind them, but some of that space is being filled by new online magazines. These are my three favorites at the moment (in order of the photos of above):

1. .By Fryd.-Home, kids rooms, crafts
2. .Sweet Paul.  -Home, food & crafts
3 .Utterly engaged. -Wedding
