{flower pinata}

Pretty flower pinata by Inchmark. Wow, it's been so long I almost forget how to do this blogging thing!

{Paper Cameras}

Amanda over at Paper Cameras opened up her Etsy shop for spring...go check out the pretty new polaroids! Her personal blog, Mocking Bird, is always inspiring too!

{snowy central park}

Lately I have been so busy at work I feel like I am missing out on all New York has to offer...these beautiful photos of Central Park by Jamie remind me what a lovely city I live in.

{dreamy colors}

These watercolors by Miss Capricho (design studio named after a pair of vintage bridal shoes!) help me escape reality for a bit...to a beautiful dream.

I am really tired of this cold weather, but I can't stop looking at beautiful snowy pictures. In a way they help to remind me of the magic and fun that snowy days can bring. Stay warm!

These are just a couple of the photographers on Etsy that are donating a portion of their sales to disaster relief funds for Haiti...more to come. A list of other bloggers and artists wanting to help was compiled by sfgirlbybay. Jan from Poppytalk made another great list of artists contributing to Haiti on her blog.

Flickr members have also started new groups for those who want to auction off prints for charity.

More:
Red Cross.
Doctors Without Borders.
World Vision.
Reject Apathy.

{this made my day}

This print by Irene Suchocki absolutely made my day. I have been a fan of Irene's photography for a while now but this photograph makes me dream of magic places. I LOVE it. Thanks Danni. It inspired me to find more...

{typography superstar}

The typography designs by Kate Forrester are amazing! So beautiful and delicate. I especially love her designs for John Lewis shown around the UK. See her portfolio here.

{man in the middle}

I love it when the world feels so small, especially the blog world. This evening I was making my blog rounds and got to Joanna's, clicked the link to read about the Manhattan wedding in a secret park, and found a friendly face! The pastor in this beautiful picture works at Redeemer Presbyterian Church here in Manhattan, where I regularly attend.

P.S. the secret park is Tudor City Greens by First Ave!

The prettiness and perfection of May Luk's Ceramics is breathtaking. It's so simple and lovely. Find her pieces here at her Etsy shop. She was one of my favorite vendors at Handmade Cavalcade this weekend!
