Fantastic Finds
Heya darlings,
Some of you like to find thrifted goods at junk markets, and I think my fave occupation is to find great blogs over the Net, especially by mere coincidence. I peruse Flickr, then i check the photographer's profile, and have a peek at his/her blog and... Voilà!
So if you don't know them yet, here are a couple of lovely and inspirational blogs I really like:
Sacred Lotus Photography blog (check out her Flickr photostream, it's a must!
The MagPie blog, and its "8 things" lists. So funny, inspirational, and thinking out of the box!
I've had a Spanish crush lately and here's some "Spanish lace" for you design aficionados (and tea junkies, just like me):
Isn't it amazing? It's a tea set called "Spanish lace" and made by edyta cieloch. (via the ever wonderful design*sponge blog).
as always, enjoy!

Diptyque Cosmetics
photo by frolic
Diptyque's fragrant candles are now been renowned for some time worldwide, not only in France, where they set their first shop in 1961. Proof of it is the above photo, taken by Chelsea Fuss of {frolic!}, blogger and photo stylist extraordinaire. ;-)
I am so happy, that Diptyque is now having a small range of cosmetics, called the "Art of Care", and which is a new activity to them. I especially loved their "fresh body lotion" (200ml, 40euros), that has a very dainty orange blossom smell, one of my very all-time favorite scents!
scan from the "Atmosphères" magazine, April 2009 issue.
The packaging design is as always very low-key and elegant, in black & white.
To learn more about Diptyque, and see more photos of their products, check out this Flickr group. Amazing!
enjoy!

things i love thursday : hula girl
blog button by "blog butttons"
A new pool started on Flickr. It's called "things i love thursdays" and it's about blogging about the things you love and then posting a picture of them on said pool! Sounds fun to me!
Today, I want to tell about someone I admire and that inspires me, Andrea aka "hula girl" and her great blog, "Hula Seventy". Isn't her blog banner and blog button - as seen above - just look great?
"Hula Girl" has lots of energy (she dances) and you can feel that just from reading her blog. I love her outlook on life. She's a real inspiration to me.
Now to that specific picture I love from her photostream on Flickr... called "growth chart"
you can so feel the summer coming in that picture, the little girl growing, the plants around her too, and all the harmony of the bright colors in the picture. Just sooo sweet!
Enjoy!
Beautymist.
