TEN IMAGES OF INSPIRATION : CATS OF FLICKR.












You know, whenever I feel out-of-sorts, there is usually just one thing I end up doing at this time of night: digging through my Flickr favorites for pictures of dreamy cats. And all at once, things seem better. This is my gift to you right now.

Flickr users (from top to bottom): Dj Munnskol, Capt. Mouffette, Amy Nieto, deersummer, rose claw, ten minutes, Babette de Jong, *Cinnamon, Pola MurMur, and Alicia Bock.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY : EXCELLENT.



"Be Excellent To Each Other," a mounted hand-sewn piece by Maricor/Maricar. And yes, that is a quotation from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Awesome. (See also: blog)

INTERIOR INSPIRATION : TRAILER, SWEET TRAILER.













When we were staying on the Washington coast last weekend, we ended up walking over to a tiny show (performed by a dear friend of mine) at this "lodge", an adorable community where you can rent vintage trailers for the night. Let me tell you, it was lovely and completely reignited my deep desire to someday own a vintage trailer/camper of my own. Someday, my friends, someday...

BEST, BEST, BEST!



I must apologize for such a quiet week here on Design is Mine. I just celebrated my (gulp) thirtieth birthday, so I dedicated a few days to some fun time (including a big beatnik party last night!) Come Monday I will be back with a brand spankin' new laptop and plenty of inspiration for you all. Enjoy the weekend! (above artwork by Fantasic Hysteria)
