I think I don't have to say anything about Amy Atlas. One look at this NYC event planner's work and you'll know what makes her awesome. Take a look:

So what do you think? Great or great? It's all in the details. And just in time for Thanksgiving, check out this cute table she made for her blog readers' delight:

owl lover 2011 calendar

I am so happy about this. You know how much I like owl stuff. Shivani from My Owl Barn is sharing this wonderful project. She has featured many owl artists on her blog and now they're sharing their work so you can make your own calendar from their images.

pick and choose which image for each month

Then you can print out the calendar and voilà, you've got a great holiday gift! Thanks to the artists and Shivani for putting this together :) Check it out here.

tea for thursday

I've upped my tea intake lately. Could be the chill in the air or because I need some comfort food (beverage)! Never the less, I do indulge in daily 'tea time'. I loves it. Today, I'm sharing some innovative tea bags I've come across. None of which I've personally enjoyed, I must say...

craft room ideas

This is how my craft closet looks when it has exploded onto my dining table. Not pretty.
And here are some 'after' shots... Kidding. Only in my dreams! I need help.

Ahhhh... aren't these amazing. This last one is my favorite. I like the tall table and stools. Though the pink nook above is best when you don't have a whole room to dedicate to your craftiness. These rooms are truly inspiring and perhaps, something to look forward to. :)

Do you have a craft space? Got any tips? Do tell.

beautiful bookstores

I love bookstores and, as I've mentioned before, I want to one day have one of my own :) In the meantime, I collect images. Today, I'll share some of the most architecturally beautiful...

Livraria Lello in Porto, Portugal

Bookàbar, in Rome

Bookstore Selexyz Dominicanen, in Maastricht, Netherlands

Librería El Ateneo Grand Splendid, in Buenos Aires, Argentina

These are all so lovely. Maybe a bit too grand and orderly for my dream store, but beautiful nonetheless...
