design inspiration

Each room is unique and created by a different designer at this hotel
Or stay at the Ice Hotel in Sweden and get hitched on ice.
Say yes to this
Loving these playful votives you can design yourself.
This bracelet is on my wish list!
Woodgrain notecards via the fabulous Mighty Goods site.
Rent or buy this movie immediately and fall in love.
My friend Angela from Omondieu makes flower rings that look mysteriously like the real thing...
And the most wonderful quote:
"Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
-Howard Thurman {via Jos}

Posted by: jenn at October 21, 2005 07:20 AMYour pictures are always amazing, but this? Drop dead gorgeous. I needed a little color today! :-)
Posted by: kristal at October 20, 2005 09:56 PMoh, yes...'mad hot ballroom'... really, such a fantastic film, so much goodness. so much goodness.
Posted by: andrea at October 20, 2005 09:55 PMErk. A hard day at work, but a trip to superhero land did indeed cheer me up. Oh - such an inspiration. Made remember that creative seed. And those flowers are the best design of all.
AND - after the last blog I too asked for a inspiring dream, and I had the most vivid dream. When I half woke up I asked what the message was.... and the answer came.... there are other realitys then this one. And THAT is helping me through a rough patch.

Posted by: Meg at October 20, 2005 07:45 PMAndrea, that photo is absolutely breathtaking. It almost looks like a painting. Positively gorgeous!
Posted by: maria at October 20, 2005 05:25 PMI love your large photo at the top; the flower on the right looks shy. To me it seems she is blushing and turning her face away ...
Posted by: Lisa at October 20, 2005 05:06 PMDid you know there's another hotel like that, but bigger, and much closer? The Madonna Inn, in San Luis Obispo. You can tour the rooms online at www.madonnainn.com.
Posted by: leaina at October 20, 2005 04:08 PMI love the flower rings. I wonder if I'd have the guts to prance around in one all day! I need guts. :)
Posted by: LB at October 20, 2005 03:47 PMIndeed the world does need people who have come alive.
Lovely links! It was so fun going thru these. A flower brooch from Omondieu! is now on my wishlist...so gorgeous. I am anticipating Mad Hot Ballroom as well. Thanks so much...
Posted by: Bohemiangirl at October 20, 2005 12:40 PMThat wonderful quote is making the rounds on the internet - I have "come alive!" as my screen saver :~)
Posted by: reachdabbleshine at October 20, 2005 11:17 AMWhat fun, fun stuff. I heard Rosie O'Donnell talking about Mad Hot Ballroom and I've been wanting to see it ever since. Thanks for these cool links.
Posted by: Michelle Ensminger at October 20, 2005 11:10 AMwhat a coincidence--i just saw mad hot ballroom yesterday! i agree, it's a lovely movie.
Posted by: adele at October 20, 2005 11:04 AMThanks, I always enjoy your offerings. I really love the picture too, just stunning.
