We all know the best design inspiration comes straight from nature.
No wonder driftwood as a design element can be played with limitlessly.
Is it the imperfections that make it so interesting?
Or that it looks worn
and wild?
Driftwood can play contemporary
and of course seaside chic
Made beautiful by the elements.

A few more St. Patty’s pics to inspire you. And those of us in the Northwest sure do need it right around now, with the non-stop rain/snow/all around ugliness happening. As my husband reminds me, this is how Pearl Jam started (a.k.a., lots of time indoors). I guess he’s saying such conditions inspire genius.
Like my rainbow of nail polishes (with rolos for pots of gold at the ends) for an impromptu little girl nail party we hosted. Not quite “genius,” but you know, close.
Healthy green foods pulled straight from the pantry, like Veggie Pirates Booty, apple chips and pistachios
Cute school crafts used as decor. Of course one must have a clover centerpiece. We need all the luck we can gather.
I just couldn’t resist this. So as you can see, I can almost distract myself from the downright nastiness on the climate-front. Is it too early to start drinking green beer?
Happy St. Patricks Day!
A Wish for a Friend,
Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

I wish that I was snoring. When it rains it pours and by the way, it is really pouring in Seattle right now. But I’m actually talking about scheduling.
We have a busy weekend lined up of lots of activities to celebrate our Irish roots. Leprechaun trap successfully delivered in one piece to school today, check. Sorry no photo, there is currently a patent pending on this one.
Irish Dancing outfit ready for multiple weekend performances, check.
Father daughter Luau themed party outfit pieces pulled, check.
Of course there’s already one fallen soldier in our household, victim to that icky flu that is going around. Someday I’m sure it will be proven, our abundant rainfall really can make one sick.
In an to be preventative. I’m slugging anti-oxidants, spinach, berries, green tea, you name it. Homemade super food smoothie, check.
Wish us the luck of the Irish, we’re gonna need it!
“Some….where o-ver the rain-bow,
Is Palm Springs.
There’s a land that I heard of,
Once in a …. special dream.
Some day I wish upon the star
And wake up where Seatte’s rain clouds are far be-hind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the clay roof tops-
That’s where you’ll find me.
