DESIGN FIND-ARTIST JOREY HURLEY

While scouring Etsy for some stylish and fun prints to use in a boy's bedroom, I came across the fresh, vibrant prints of artist Jorey Hurley and was instantly smitten. Hurley's bold prints are inspired from observations from her everyday life: a walk in the meadow, the family cat chasing a ball of yarn, her friends cool vintage car, all lead to lively, gorgeous graphics that are sure to put a smile on your face. Her website is wonderfully addictive too-the prolific artist posts new art on her site almost daily allowing visitors a window into this interesting artists life. You can see more of her beautiful work here.

A LITTLE DIRT

Antique Garden Tray from Etsy

I plan on working in the garden this weekend. I've put off the pruning and general upkeep for quite some time and my poor garden is paying the price-a little overgrown and little unloved, a few hours in the dirt should do my garden and hopefully me some good. 

But before I start, its always nice to be properly suited for the job.  A floral pair of Hunter boots and rosy garden gloves will bring out the English gardener in me.  Or perhaps some funky wellies and paisley gauntlet gloves will inspire me to plant some colorful annuals.  Digging in dirt has never looked so good!

I love these mod paisley boots and gauntlet gloves from Woman's Work.

For the classic gardener, rose clogs from the British Horticultural Society and Laura Ashley garden gloves.

 Classic Hunter botanical inspired boots and monogrammed gauntlet gloves from Red Envelope are really smart.

Funky Koi wellies and no nonsense Bog gloves are a fun modern look.
