aqua y gold.

i got nowhere on my cart last night.

my uncle is in town. he's a global traveler/dweller.

he's now living in norway.

just moved from australia.

before that here.

before that, grenada.

before that, south africa.

and he's originally from the uk.

and i'm missing stuff in there, too i'm sure.

anyway we were hanging with him last night.

lucky for me, there's a long weekend ahead... perfect for projects.

totally unrelated, but isn't this color combo kinda gorgeous?

i hope you all enjoy your weekend.

think i'm headed to the lake.

that hurricane is now hanging over us and it's not forcasted to lighten up until sunday or monday.

but rainy days at the lake can be fun, too.

LOVE.

JILL.

**update**

thanks to one of our sweetest readers...

{seriously, she always has the nicest things to say. such a doll.}

elizabeth (you can find her here) informed me that emily's earrings in question from earlier this morning, were from stella & dot!

the capri chandies, in turquoise.

knowing that, it was just a simple google away before i found these 2:

i know. so pretty, right?

thanks, elizabeth!!

go get yourself some... you can right here.

love.

2 things.

2 things i just really like right now:

1-- i love rocks. (surprise surprise. i know i've gushed about em on here more than twice.)

but i love this rock in particular.

2-- i live in long dresses and maxi skirts.

i have since high school... and that wasn't just last year. i graduated in 2002.

{cough i feel old cough}

it was alot tougher to find them then.

not anymore! and

this one could come live in my closet. asap.

alfresco with a kick

this color is outrageous.

i'd certainly enjoy a meal or two under these circumstances.

beautiful color, glass, rough wood, rusting metal with another hit of turquoise.

splendid.

come on in.

this entry is so sassy and fun. i love that the zebra is blue, and i also love that it leads you to the aqua bookshelves straight through. lovely.

i wish i was this bold in my own house.

delicious.

this color combo is really really beautiful, no? mint, turquoise, green. all tempered with white and neutrals and a hit of gold.
it's celerie kimble's office in florida

happy friiiiiday.

good morning!!

well isn't this a happy way to start the day :)

beneficial?

could we all benefit from a turquoise chair or two?

i'm thinking yep.

JILL

{i'm sorry i don't have references for these, and i'm sorry they are poor quality... they have been saved since before there was this blog, but i do love them so}

do we...

...like fuschia purple with turquoise?

yep.

(although, i would have nixed the necklace and just gone with the earrings.)

a new collection

via eddie ross

yesterday i saw this twit pic from eddie ross of these beautiful lavendar plates, and in his short description he mentioned they were for hanging.

via tracery interiors

i was immediately reminded of this turquoise blue plate i found at tracery interiors over the summer.

via dargate

i sent the image to my mom and said "isn't this plate fabulous"...she responded by sending me links to turquoise china on ebay and remarked "how great would it be to collect a variety of turquoise china and mix and match"

via courtney giles

i was thinking the exact same thing! they would be fun to hang in a bedroom, kitchen or bathroom and bring down for the right occasion- maybe a ladies luncheon or easter brunch...

the rest via ebay

if anyone needs any gift ideas for me...(hint, hint)

xoxo
