I keep debating which to get, the Luna Triangle Tee or the Full Moon Jumper, however as luck would have it, Alexa is very open to creating custom orders. So I could in fact have the triangle print on a sweatshirt... problem solved! But then I would actually have to decide on the colour of sweatshirt...The burgundy is sorely tempting....

If you are, however, slightly more decisive than I am, do contact These Folk with your custom requests.

All items are hand painted, very affordable and the shop is offering a 10% discount this weekend in honour of payday! Just enter PAIDFOLK at the checkout. If you would like to see a little more of These Folk, jump over to the following pages: Facebook, Twitter, Etsy and their Blog.

As a little aside, I'm not sure which is more swoon-worthy, the Topshop t-bar sandals and Hudson boots or the model Ashleigh's hair!

Tomorrow is March 1 and spring is in the air here in DC. In my own garden, the camellias, Japanese quince, and hellebores are blooming - three of my favorites. Did I ever tell you all how much I love gardening? I have a certificate in landscape design and am a Master Gardener and I love this time of year in DC especially. Someone once said that spring is something DC does well and it is very true.

Whenever spring arrives I love to tackle a decorating project in my home. This time I have decided my home office needs some updating. As is often the case with me, my inspiration came from a fabric - a Charlotte Moss fabric "Caroline" that I have been wanting to use ever since it came out. It reminds me a bit of Clarence House David Hicks The Vase. The colorway is currant, but these pictures don't do the color justice - it is the yummiest deep coral pink. And the scale of this design is huge. So dramatic! Follow along the next several weeks as I post my weekly progress on this room from inspiration to completion.

Next I will be working on a Pinterest board, an inspiration board, and a paint color for the room. Speaking of Charlotte Moss, I received this photo at bottom from her last night as part of an announcement about an upcoming auction and book signing of hers in NYC. Check out that coffee table - a Chinoiserie wallpaper top under glass -  a great DIY project.

Don't miss Chinoiserie Chic tomorrow - my daughter Kate has done a fabulous inspiration board and I will be revealing my Houzz Ideabook for March.
