cori kindred.

These photography prints by Cori Kindred are completely perfect in every way; they're exactly the kind of thing I yearn for during this time of year. The colors are gorgeous, and the subjects are soft and unique. I would love to have a wall covered in every single one of them.

I love this idea- Chalk Board Wall Decals. They seem like they would be great for people living in apartments, since they just stick and peel off without leaving any damage. So great for to-do lists or calenders. ($58 from See Jane Work)

"Anthony tells us that he once heard a young boy ask his grandmother for advice on how to enjoy a long and happy life. The answer? Work hard and be nice to people."
