You don’t always need a fancy card or an expensive gift to let someone know you love them. Sometimes, it’s the little gestures that count the most. Kathleen at Twig & Thistle created a sweet (free) downloadable Valentine’s Day sticker set that you can add to your special someone’s favorite fruit as a little surprise.

Slinkachu is a talented artist based in London who creates tiny scenarios in public places, photographs and then abandons them — to be discovered by bemused passers-by. He started the “Little People Project” in 2006 to encourage city dwellers to be more aware of their surroundings. Here is some of his work.
“The Last Resort”



“School Trip”



“The High Life”



“The Sights”



“Pool”


“Wish You Were Here”



“Close Shave”

Stylish Home has a online design quiz to determine your decorating style. Think of it as your design fortune cookie! There are 20 possible individual styles and after a series of pictures to click through, you’ll get details that delve into your design soul! The quiz suspects me to be “Seaside Informal”, one who’s attracted to cozy, hand-crafted gems with a sleek tailored kitchen, lake cabin table for dinner salads and seafood, with a pre-war, upper east side attitude. How appropriate! My design soul mates are the always intriguing Diane Keaton, Paul Newman, and Julia Roberts.

Give it a try! Visit Stylish Home to take the Style Maker Quiz.
