I just think this wallpaper by Louise Body is too gorgeous. It will be so fun to someday have a home of our own and make more permanent design decisions, like wallpaper. For now I could use it on a folding screen, or in a frame...

dogs riding on bicycles

We like to take Iso on bike rides. She sits in the basket. At first she didn't like it and tried to jump out mid-ride. Now though she enjoys the rides and the wind flips her ears up straight and big and I love it. Actually I'm afraid I might one day crash my bike and flatten her. Karl usually takes her, and I think I trust him a bit more. I came across this picture today and thought, 'there is a bike I can ride!' I'm in the market for something Schwinn or vintagey. I have a free bike that is doing the job for now, but after giving up my car in a month from now, I might just treat myself to something lovelier. Picture via Anthropologie.
