Sushi and Cake!



My two favorite things at la boîte à couture



The Enchanted Doll


I just fell in love with these dolls!
I wanted to buy one, but at almost 2k$ for a bare bones version...I don't see it happening any time soon.

From Yatzer-Design To Share:

Marina Bychkova is a doll sculptor and her enchanted porcelain dolls reflect the dark and sometimes threatening undertones that classic fairy tales often contain - they are fragile and vulnerable in their beauty.

She says "I find nothing more boring and thoughtless than another girly girl doll with blond curls and a puffy dress holding a teddy bear. Ugh...!"

Follow her thoughts on twitter, visit her dolls collection at Flickr or deviantART and read carefully her beautiful interview to
Jason Arber for PIXELSURGEON after the jump.

Salted Chocolate, Peanut and Pistachio Nougat Ice Cream


OMG I want to try and make this next weekend.
I LOVE pistachios!

Thanks to Canelle et Vanille

Dolce Mia Fine Soaps




I just found out about Dolce Mia Fine Soaps. I LOVE the packaging and wonder if they smell as pretty as they look. I am a sucker for lavender and am ordering some of that right now! If I like the soap a lot, maybe I will carry it on JonesieCake.com??? Let me know if you think Jonesie should carry fun items that make you pretty, other than just the clips.

100% real soap from a family recipe producing creamy, moisture-rich soap for over 40 years! Made with pure plant-derived vegetable oils. No detergents and no animal testing.



Schoos Design





Schoos Design
has made me see how lazy I have been regarding the design of my home and patio. Wowsie wow they really show you how you can do alot with a small space!!! Thomas Schoos' first residential project was the home of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett (!!!). These pix are from that design. I am going to start immediately rethinking my space.

Found at Desire to Inspire!

...don't forget to click on the images to see a bigger version with more detail!

kaarskoker



What a pretty way to bring life to your lighting and personalize your style! I wish I thought of this!!!

kaarsKoker
(Dutch for candle sleeve) has a beautiful collection of replacement candle sleeves for your light fixture. The collection is fairly inexpensive at $12-23USD per pair/retail.

It would be really easy to do this yourself too since they state in the FAQ its made of simple art paper and cardboard. Of course, for busy people like myself. I wouldjust buy them :)
