I love geometric shapes in the home- the simple symmetry always pleases the eye, doesn’t it? This magazine rack – or is it a fire log holder? -would be useful. You could even house books or a plant in the centre.

Oh yes – I love this one and pretty much the rest of the card collection at The Paper Cub Co.Â

I started tennis lessons last night. Oh, what fun! I’ve played tennis before but I’ve only ever taken lessons once as a child. I was happy to discover that my moves on the tennis court are decent but I’m definitely looking forward to improving my backhand as it’s beyond weak at the moment.
So it may come as no surprise that last night’s tennis lesson has provided the inspiration for today’s post. Aren’t these vintage tennis dress patterns awesome? I spent more time than I meant to browsing the pattern selection on Etsy this morning. It’s so interesting to see how the styles change over the years. The white fabric options remain pretty consistent (woohoo!).

Let’s face it – half the fun of tennis is the outfits. Right?
Happy first day of spring!
As we wait for the season’s fresh blooms, I’m totally in love with and inspired by Balushka‘s over-sized paper flowers. Easy décor for any wall- but I think I’d like to place these in a hallway where people tend to just wiz through.
Wouldn’t these give you reason to pause?
Balushka’s beautiful paper flowers are available for sale or rent here
