Blissful Images : Karin Eriksson : Jewelweeds
Hi Everyone -
The traditional five senses are sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste and they're all covered in today's favorites. Although not entirely, lately I'm rediscovering some things I've had for a while and it's been fun. In particular, I've been listening to music and bands that have fallen off of my radar, including today's choice - Incubus. Maybe it all stems from a desire to cut back, or I'm getting old? Nah, can't be age ;). Have a nice weekend. Look around and find enjoyment in something you've loved for years.
xo, Cindy
Art : Mrs. French's beautiful images provide blissful inspiration and often look like paintings.
Design : I recently read about Kegan Fisher and Liz Kinnmark who are the renaissance women behind Design Glut. They have a very interesting site with interviews of some well-known creatives (Swiss Miss) and a high-concept line of jewelry and housewares (love the Hookmaker and the Currency bracelet).
Ceramics : Karin Eriksson's functional ceramics feature wonderful enamel transfers.
Craft : Lovely scented lavender sachets from Jewelweeds feature the prettiest embroideries.
Music : I really love the songs Love Hurts & Dig by Incubus. Scott didn't feel well this week and it's hard to see a loved one in pain. He's much better now, and so am I, now.
Yums : I had Pringles the other day for the first time in years and they taste GREAT! The OCD in me loves how you can count out the portion (15 = 150 calories) and they're so neat and tidy.

hehe mmmm pringles. lovely images!
d i t t o to INCUBUS (I think my kids listening to it hooked me:) and double ditto to PRINGLES! lovely place you have here beautiful photos;)
yes! pringles satisfy my need for order, too. i'm glad to know someone who sees it the same way!
Oh I haven't listened to them in awhile either! I love re-discovering old tidbits of life. I'm cleaning out a closet tonight, so who knows what I'll find. Great post Cindy!
What a lovely post Cindy! It is lovely to take time to think about what pleases all of our senses. I totally concur about the nostalgia of music (although it is not because we're getting older!) and I just convinced my husband to download a few albums we listened to together when we first met.
P.S. I too love Pringles and may just need to buy a can after a 5 year hiatus :)
I love rediscovering things again and again...it goes hand in hand with my simplify mantra for 2009. :) Beautiful photo and post. Have a great weekend!
i haven't had pringles in so long, either. i used to love the sour cream and onion. :)
fun post! I love Incubus, but old Incubus- like s.c.i.e.n.c.e. old!
What a great post! I love it! :) Incubus, I haven't heard them in ages!
I adore Karin Ericksson's ceramics, they fill me with joy.

i loved eating pringles as a kid, we'd have them whenever we'd visit my grandparents! they are so good, as are all your picks here. i really like karin erickson's piece! lucky you :)
I love pringles!!!!!
Pringles are pretty good, even though I have to do the "mom frown" when asked if we can get them. What a pretty sachet- I enjoyed looking at all her wares.
I like this post, Cindy! A nice little hodgepodge of inspiration. I love Are You In by Incubus...so good for a nice, long drive.
A couple of days ago, during a long train ride, I listened to music I didn't listen to in a long time. It was weird how all the sensations and feelings of "old times" instantly came back.
I went through several mood swings on my train ride... ; )
I love the picture, by the way!
This was such a fun post to read over--what a great idea, pulling together inspiration for the five senses. And your post made me remember how much I used to like Pringles--they're delicious.
I was having a case of the Sunday evening blahs...then I tripped upon this...I find it strange how I like the photo of my photos more than the originals? It must be the lovely pieces surrounding them and the words you used to back them up...thanks again my dear...xo t
Great picks! I love Mrs. French's photographs! She has a great eye! I will have to check out the other recommends...I'm sure they are great! As for Pringles....yum...anything in chip form will do for me! Have a lovely day!
lovely all together...
Glad to see you're enjoying the sachet! You are making me need pringles!
