The Palm Room
The other day I visited one of my favorite shops in Ballard: The Palm Room. It has the coolest plants and containers and terrariums and I love stepping into its light and green filled space.
I brought home this pretty pot for my farmers market plants.
And I picked up this cactus and pot from The Palm room on a previous visit. I'm hoping to slowly fill my apartment with plants.

Shakespeare and Charlie Brown
A mix of photos from here and there, then and now.
Last week I became hooked on Pinterest, which is a site that allows you to build boards of inspiration for all kinds of things you find around the internet. Right now I'm using it as a place to collect photos I admire, decorating and style ideas, and recipes I want to remember. My boards are here if you feel like checking them out and if any of you are on Pinterest I would love to check out your inspiration!

On the table
A friend recently formed a book club which combines two of my favorite things in life: reading and fancy food. Each month we choose a book to discuss over dinner at a new restaurant. This month we met at Betty, which was spectacular. I wish I'd gotten a photo of my sweet potato ravioli but I was too blown away by its rich flavor to think of getting out my camera. Luckily I remembered by the time that beauty of a dessert called baked hot chocolate came around. I highly recommend Betty if you get the chance to go.
Betty is located at the top of Queen Anne hill, which is an area I haven't explored too much. My bus dropped me off at the bottom and it was quite a hike to the top which made the night feel like an adventure. The view from Queen Anne is incredible. The Space Needle looks enormous from this angle and towers over the lights of downtown and everything is reflected in Lake Union. Maybe sometime I'll take my tripod out and try to capture it but there's really nothing like seeing it in person.
