sea breeze potpourri + make-believe sea creatures

of flowers and birds

It would've been better if they were fresh and alive. For now, I can settle for plastic and ceramic. Lamp, vase, flowers from IKEA. Birds and another potpourri mix from ADORE.

the potpourri happiness

I had a hard time choosing which pack to go with. The color palette is as important as the scent you know. I would've chosen the turquoise blend but the scent was too much. And I would've loved the vanilla smelling goodness but it was too bland to look at. We finally settled for "Powder Fresh" Potpourri by Colony. The bathroom smells heavenly.

I love potpourris because of their texture and how they make me feel like I picked them up in the woods myself. I just love the way they turn out rotten, dry, beautiful. This makes me remember our little thank you giveaway from our wedding 2006 - a little basketfull of potpourri.

dream hammock

This has been on my "home inspiration" folder for 3 years now. I am so in love with this bean bag hammock by Le Beanock, I cannot stop staring and dreaming of having one. I am definitely not leaving this one out of the list (hoping budget approves) when we finally build our very home in Cebu. I can totally picture us with our late night movie marathons in this comfy super-duyan.
