The last week of January! How fast time flies. Valentine’s day is just around the corner, and most people know that I’m a big fan of romantic novels especially those written by Jane Austen. If you haven’t figured out yet, the name “Love Ardently” actually was inspired by a quote in Pride and Prejudice said by Mr. Darcy to Elizabeth, “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you“.
So, when I found Brookish on Etsy, I was almost jumping off my chair, literally. I think these are the most perfect Valentine’s gift for a romantic who loves Jane Austen’s quotes (such as moi :)). How can one not love these?
And these are my favorites. :)

Is it spring already? My cold shivering feet certainly don’t think so. But I just can’t resist to post these fluttery loveliness. The white porcelain with outlined illustration is so pretty. The butterfly that hides beneath the cup looks like a gentle spring peeking out of a white winter to me. Such a nice little surprise!

I’m so, so excited. There are too many things happening today, I can’t barely contain it! One of my excitement is that I’ve just finished and sent our 2010 calendar design files to the printer. I know I’m SUPER late… *dooh* but I guess it’s better late than never. And then, it’s Friday, hurrah! Here are five of my favorites this week:
. Three Potato Four. This is such a charming little shop that has tons of cute vintage stuffs. I love that refurbished typing machine above and this set of keys.
. 41 Creative Alphabets. Typography nerds beware. Here are tons of creativeness for your eye’s delight.
. Beyond the Big Day at D*S. It’s a new column over at Design*Sponge that talks about wedding inspired decoration and entertaining ideas. This first post by Once Wed’s Emily is just too beautiful. Those colors are just pure joy!
. Japanese Matryoshka Sticker Calendar. I saw this the other day at Paper Source and thought that it’s such an adorable idea :)
. Styleture. New blog love! Just found Styleture via Twitter and been stalking the blog ever since. If you’re an architecture or interior design fan, you’ll love this blog :)
Have a joyful weekend, you!

Whoahh… it’s been a busy week for me. I’m not particularly glad that it’s the weekend already because I’m so much in a working mode *huh*. Anyways, here are five of my favorite finds this Friday. Have a great weekend, y’all!
. Mini Creamers. Seriously, how adorable are these little guys! I’m not just thinking creamers. I’m thinking it’s also perfect for little flowers. Via Divine Caroline.
. Das Jahr Poster by Marlene Reidel. I’ve been painting so much this week and that’s why I can TRULY appreciate the artist behind this AH-mazing poster! Beautiful details! Makes me happy just looking at it through my screen :)
. Sticky Advice Tape. Types on a tape! :) Via Divine Caroline.
. Bread Shoes. Not sure what I feel about this *lol* It’s pretty amusing!
. Gocco feature on SSC. This reminds me that I really need to get my little machine out from under my couch. I have a gem under my couch and I haven’t been using it!

We are thinking of redecorating our apartment (well, at least we have all the intentions to do that) and I’ve been looking for inspirations. These rug patterns from Anthropologie are just so inspiring. A couple of these rug patterns actually look a bit like Indonesian batik pattern to me. Oh, and that round doily rug with the scalloped edge is just so adorable.

If you like vintage wallpaper with patterns, you would love 5qm’s site. I’ve been spending my 30 minutes adoring each of the pattern’s loveliness :)

I was scouring on Modcloth yesterday and just fell in love with their apartment and book collections. My uttermost favorite is the conversation plates. And the taterpots. And the toothbrush holder. So much cool things!

I spent all last week struggling with Flash and Actionscript. That’s why I was mostly MIA on the blog + twitter. Man, Action script is a BEAST. I was even so hesitant to go to sleep just so I didn’t forget the script, the rules, the coding, where things are etc… LOL! I thought to myself that I would NEVER ever say yes to another Flash project. It’s just all too complex. But when it’s all said and done… Would I do it all over again? Yes, I would. :) Flash is so complex but also so worth it. The website is not ready for showing just yet, though! :)
So anyways, this week I’m all happy and bright! :) To begin the week, I need to get organized. Everything is so all over the place, even stuffs from last week’s baby shower decoration. Speaking of organization, I saw this Utensilo large wall organizer at Design*Sponge today. It is a dream of many artist and designer, isn’t it? It doesn’t come in cheap price tag, though. $425 on Design Public.

Fall season is finally here in Dallas, Texas. (I think). I came out from my evening class at about 7:20 today and it was dark. It wasn’t as dark last week. The wind today was pretty chilly, too. A couple of my most favorite element of the Fall season is anything made of or related to twigs and woods. Love, love these Anthropologie home products.
