After spending last weekend in Seattle for my sister’s wedding (that’s the very charming wedding location above, The Corson Building), I’ve been playing catch-up this week. So much so, that Steven and I both forgot our own wedding anniversary, ha! It’s ok, we just celebrated a couple of days late. If everyone involved forgets, there are no hurt feelings, and it’s canceled out.  Have you ever forgotten an important date like that?

These painted wood beads are lovely (they remind me of jawbreakers candy), and they’re a great way to use up nailpolish you don’t wear any more.

What fun geometric coasters.

This wood planter stand looks perfect for adding more plants to your home, and the instructions make it seem quite easy to build (in French–Google translate it!).

…And another way to display plants, this time on a DIY plant ladder.

The matriarchal culture of the Chinese Musuo people sounds fascinating, and these pictures of Musuo women are gorgeous.
