New throw pillows!

I haven't had much time in the last few weeks to cook, bake or photograph any food so I thought this Friday I'd show off some new throw pillows I've recently acquired.  Usually I have orange accents in our living room, but this spring, yellow seemed like a perfect pick me up and so I finally caved and got these two bright and cheery throw pillows.

The triangle/pyramid cover is by the wonderful Austin designer Leah Duncan who also designed one of my favorite prints seen here.   I'd been eyeing this cover at her etsy store for a long time and when West Elm hosted various local designers for a mini showcase a few weekends ago, I got to meet Leah for a few seconds and took the opportunity to claim this pillow cover.  Love the pyramids and bright colors. 

The second pillow with the cutest puppy curled up on it is from Robin & Mould, designers based in the UK.  Seeing this pillow never fails to make me smile and reminds me of my puppies who love to curl up on their own pillows.

 

Have a great weekend!

Flowers of the month: July

Fresh white hydrangeas from J look so lovely this month.  In contrast I am wilting from this heat!

We added another little picture to the nook.  This time it's a print by Leah Duncan that I got from the Dallas Flea last month.

Vintage Monday: more owls and elephants

Just scored these vintage Trifari owl and elephant hat pins on etsy. I don't think my obsession will ever end.

We had a lovely time in Dallas and the pups enjoyed their treats, toys, and doggy beds at the hotel.  There was lots of eating, walking around, shopping and spending time with family.  The Dallas Flea was fun though a bit smaller than I expected (B was glad).  Definitely worth a trip if you live in Dallas--I loved the location of the event. Two of my favorite buys:

And this decal from Shanna Murray via Enid--a cute little store in Fredericksburg that I missed when we were there a few weekends ago--so I was glad they were at the Dallas Flea!
