I found out about Anna Aden photography through Maquette today and fell in love instantly with the gorgeous soft hues of her images. My absolute favourites has got to be these images from her lily of the valley series. They are like straight out from the pages of a fairytale.
This Seasonal Fruits poster by Claire Nereim featured in The Kitchn, an Apartment Therapy sister site, is a one page poster/forever calendar (no dates) with a fruit drawing for each month. Hand screenprinted in 10 colors on roughly recycled cream cover-stock paper. Each print is unique. A lovely way to brighten up any kitchen space. 
I also love the print above composed of seasonally blooming native California wildflowers. 
Unique calligraphy work by Edzayi Mazarura Design. You can contact them to obtain a quote for your specific needs. 
These notebooks designed by collaboraters Burak Kaynak and Cem Has are the best inventions since sliced bread. There are 12 notebooks in one pack and each one is numbered so you can assign one book per month. How fun is this?
Etsy store owner of Portland General Store, Lisa Brodar, makes a wide range of body care products ranging from skin creams to fragrances for men and women and designs the gorgeous packaging labels herself.
Specializing in building secret doors and passageways in your home, Creative Home Engineering is the perfect solution to creating that hidden Narnian/ Ann Frank world in your own home. The music in their website completes the picture. Wonder if it is difficult to DIY this.
The previous post got me curious about Target so I checked into their online store today and found out that Orla Kiely now designs for Target! You can now get her gorgeous designs on housewares at the most affordable prices. You cannot believe how tempted I am to get these mugs for $11.99 for a set of 2 from Target right now. 
And the Orla Kiely Orange Flower Collection above is selling for $11.99!
Give me one good reason right now why I shouldn't get these, apart from the fact that I have no more space at home.
I can't believe Pam Garrison turned this budget Target sweatshirt into such a gorgeous work of art. This has me inspired and itching to start stitching bits of my old clothing away to give it a new lease of life.

Thank you Home & Decor for choosing me as the blogger of the month! I am deeply honoured to have Laissezfaire featured in your June issue! (click on image above to enlarge)
She also made some gorgeous pom poms (below), also from coffee filters. 
I simply love the ephemeral quality of these magnolias placed on insect illustrations by Kari Herer. I think Magnolia is now my favourite flower, after Peonies in white cream. 
Turn a cheap kitchy oil cloth you use to cover your kitchen table into these gorgeous lunch bags by following this tutorial by Martha Stewart.
Welcome to La Nouvelle Athenes. Who would have guessed this would be a place to have your hair done? Stepping to this stunning hair salon is almost like stepping into someone's home. I love how the unassuming seats are placed to face a massive wall with a small mirror. Only in Paris... 
What a lovely typography by Jessica Hische, a designer/illustrator based in Brooklyn who spends her days "drawing type and designing pretty things and her late nights working on everything from editorial illustration to hand-lettering for romance novel covers." Sounds like so much fun! (via ffffound)
I am drawn by the details of this flower shop designed by Athens studio Point Supreme Architects in Patras, Greece. Particularly the ornate iron grill entrance and display tables clad in white tiles which occupy the centre of the shop. 
And I simply love the plans, sections, elevation and even a model they did of this space. Magical!
"Everything I have" by Simon Evans. I will never be able to fit all my things into a sheet of paper like this. (via Debi Van Zyl via Black Eiffel)
I would so like to place my desk in this and work out of this at home if I could fit inside. Or perhaps erect one of these at the corner of a busy street to sell pretty cupcakes and lemonade.
I finally got round to signing up on Twitter and oh it is soo much fun! Almost additive. If you would like to follow this Twitter newbie, click here! I will mostly be using this to post the latest on my baby online store and update more frequently on day-to-day (and sometimes banal) events that keep me busy and inspired.
I love this "Birds on a Wire" decal and graphic cushions from Rose and Grey. The round mirror next to the bed looks super lovely too. Wonder where you can find this...
