websites as graphs

This is how my blog (artfulicious.blogspot.com & dollyvu.blogspot.com) looks like as a blooming site. I love how the graph has a floral look to it. I came across this once on flickr and then once again on design*sponge - here's the link - http://www.aharef.info/static/htmlgraph/

Rare Device

It's been a while since i've been able to dig up some "new" finds. I'm partial to the "Dolly Birds" for the obvious reason. Anyway, here are houseware stuff from raredevice.net

Thrifty Dishes!

I went thrifting to find some dishes for my apartment for when I move to minneapolis. I was so happy to find what I have found for under 5 dollars total.

YAT'S on Mass Ave.

Gumbo, Jambalaya, Artichoke Etouffee and Chicken Maque Choux! And all at $5 a dish!!! I flipped the shit out when I was researching this restaurant online. I was so tired of eating Ramen Noodles at work, so I went and checked this place out and happy to say, did not leave dissapointed. The food was excellent. The environment was bold. The music they played was unidentifiably excellent - kinda sounded like a Dabrye with samples of Indian Sitars and 20s Upright Bass.

Anyway, my tummy is happy and so is my wallet!

oh, 1967!

sexy sexy!

For my chic side, I'd wear all of the below. I'm loving the pink race horse necklace. From a Japanese site - Mode a Dept

My Mod Discoveries

I seriously need a mop to clean up the puddle of drool I have salivated over these cute, vintage patterns and floral prints applied on hand bags and clutches. I also especially love the necklace that the lady is wearing in that printed tee. My, oh, my! I'm inspiried...hopefully I'll get motivated and then perspire while executing something crafty tonight!

readable. helpful. good. another design book to add to my library.

cake!!

idreamofcake.com – absolutely, lavishly & deliciously beautiful. I'm quite partial to the cherry blossoms. They remind me of the bedsheets I purchased from Urban last spring. I should learn the artistry of cake-making and sugar molding.

blank greetings

a wealthy search for floral wallpaper designs will make you want to ceate this for a line of blank greeting cards. Rest of the packaging still to come!
