1 Help Covet Garden Home Project

Covet Garden magazine would like publish Covet Garden Home—a 100+ page half magazine/half book - a version of their online magazine with more additions and features. I've always made it a policy not to post crowd-funding projects on my blog, but this time I'm going to make an exception. Because of a few things. For one, Covet Garden has been giving us "FREE" online magazines for quite sometime now, two - it's Canadian content (so important to support) and three, after watching their video on indiegogo, I find them all so endearing! I just want to sit down and have a coffee with all three of them and talk about decor now. I mean really (maybe that should be one of the perks if you donate). Needless to say, I think we most definitely need to support this and what will I'm sure be a beautiful publication if it goes through. Click here for more info!

1 The One Where Ava Gets to Go Too

I love dreams, especially meaningful ones, and this is that kind of dream. All of you know Andrea of Hula Seventy (my blog friend since like forever, past contributor, amazing photographer, wordsmith, colour capturer, dancer, and most of all amazing mother); well she has been asked to speak at a Ted Youth conference in Paris this summer, and her daughter Ava (budding photographer - see photo's above) is going also! To help fund her part of the trip, Ava is selling some of her own photo's for a limited time in Andrea's etsy shop. Not only do I love this dream, I LOVE Ava's photo's! She's most definitely picked up on her Mom's photo-taking-magic genes! So what do you say? Let's help Ava go to Paris with her mom to, as Andrea puts it, "to connect with kids from a different part of the world, to explore what it means to see the world differently. and then, paris. to experience paris, one of the greatest cities in the world."

1 NSS Instagram-Style

Thank goodness for social media to fill the gap when you can't be there in person. As much as I would love to be able to attend this event, this year's National Stationery Show was the perfect venue for a little show-viewing instagram-style! And I've gathered a few of my favorites for a little post here today! Above Carrie at Anemone Press shows off her colourful set of greeting cards (love)!
