Hello Hoobubby: Home Decor

I was going to title this post "Eat My Shorts, Anthropologie" but that doesn't sound very nice! Inspired by this recent post about Cargo, which is my own second favorite store in Portland, I can't think of a better way to start a new blog than to share the goods too on the ultimate very best store in the entire Northwest, Ink & Peat. Its a little intimidating to think about what to write about first. I feel like I should have a grand awakening to share, or a true story about triplet Mongolian mimes but after my butt-awakening weigh-in at Weight Watchers earlier this morning, what I really need to do is get hopping on a treadmill or butterfly stroking my way across a swimming pool... so back to Ink & Peat, I will probably get all my gifts and home decor needs met here for the rest of my life so please, Ink and Peat, never ever ever go away!

(I need that pillow on the left or I will die...)

And I need ALL of the pillows below, or I will die all over again...

Oh, and I need this wreath too...because I'm Jewish and all Jewish people are supposed to hang a wreath on every door....

Napping Mushrooms

And then theres the beautiful winter window display:

Everywhere you look is beautiful. Not sure my iphone is doing the space justice!

So much birdie beauty:

It just so happens that my best friend owes me close to five million dollars so I'm going to probably get this below ...(Shes supposed to pay me back tomorrow). I think this is my fave thing in the whole shop-

and this:

Its almost too much!...Should I keep going???

I love these little animals to the right. They are Knitter Critters from Kenya...

New research recently came out that you should never use the same cereal bowl twice, which means you need to have a lot of bowls or a very large, well curved palm.
