I’d love to wish everyone a very happy weekend! I am heading out now for the weekend as I’ll be traveling a bit but I’ll meet you back on Monday or Tuesday (at the latest) for another week of good things to share and discuss. I also plan to write a little more on the topic of creativity next Thursday in case you’ve been wondering whether or not I’ll bring back the series… more on that later. Here are some lovely links to keep you busy until I’m back March 31.

:: Subscribe to Real Living magazine if you have some extra cash, it’s an Australia decorating magazine to die for!

:: Make some new friends or post a topic you’d like some advice on over in the Kindred forums.

:: If you love Orla Kiely designs this site will take your breath away. Great sales too! Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

:: Delicious books from Finland.

:: Fashion to die for at Gorman, including some organic finds.

:: Put this in your shopping cart and eat it: baked goods and marshmallows from Whimsy and Spice, the photo above gives you a teaser of what you could be enjoying this weekend. I ordered my goodies that should be arriving today. (nom, nom, nom.)

:: Anne stocked her Etsy store, Enna, due to an overwhelming number of requests generated from her home tour.

And finally something I’m pretty exciting about…

:: Look for me in the April 17, 2009 issue of Family Circle magazine (it looks like this) where they asked a bunch of designers and decorators for simple decor tips, the article is called 50 Under $50 and appears on pages 22-29. I am honored to be included alongside Celerie Kemble, Thom Filicia, Nate Berkus, Kim Myles, Cat Wei and John Gidding to name a few.

See you later, happy trails! - Holly
