floral art.

i saw these bust planters a while back on joy‘s blog and have been quietly obsessing over them. if i could, i’d spring for them and put them right near my window so they’d greet me each morning when i wake up. they can be found at jennifer mcgarigle’s boutique, floral art. looks like just another reason for me to head out for a little road trip to hit up the shop…

awesome, right?

supermoss bust planters: $185.00/ea.; bust planters: $150.00/ea; succulent bust planters: $275.00/ea.

bouncy in san francisco.

so…this is new to me, but a few years ago there was a commercial that aired where thousands of colorful bouncy balls made their way down the streets {and crazy hills} of san francisco. danish photographer, peter funch was able to capture the action and the limited edition prints are available for sale at Lumas. check these photos…

amazing, right?! i can’t believe that really happened! here’s the video {i think it’s beautiful}…
