Honor Roll (No. 1)
Remember when I asked if you would like me to share items from my wish list with you? This is how I’m going to do it. I’m combining my favorites along with items from my well said section.

- Download and print this beautiful photo (above) of umbrellas floating across the sky.
- Hello cute little Parisian home. I want to come and visit you.
- Eleanor would be so cute in this jane dress. Is it a sign that the only size they have left is the size I would buy?
- How cute is this scallop trim coat? (Answer: Super cute.)
- The Chicago west elm store has just opened, and it is stunning. Look at the twelfth picture to see my favorite part: an installation of white and yellow paper parasols.
- Jonathan Adler Junior! I love the lion rug – roar.
- This colorful bracelet would bring a whole lotta cheer to your wrist.
- Banners + pennants = instant happy.
- Isn’t this super graphic black and white striped hallway just perfect?
- I want this elepant brooch. Jules says it’s bad luck because the trunk faces down. I still want it.
- I need Brandon to shave his beard into a mustache and sideburns so that we can take a photo like this.
























Love the pic {and the fabulous Brooke}. That Scallop Trim Coat is fabulous, and I am officially in love with the striped room! :)

Ooh that photo is so dreamy! I love it.
Oh yay, i love getting cool rec’s. There’s my friday night with a glass or three of wine sorted. Lovely!
thanks, jules
I loved this! If you continue this feature, I can eliminate half the blogs I read. (Sorry, that sounds cold.)
Johnathan Adler Junior! Don’t know how I missed this, thanks for putting it on your honor roll. Such a good post.
Great list as always! I so adore your style!
Wonderful collection! I, too, went crazy for the umbrella installation at the West Elm store. I snapped a pic that I think you’ll like. I hope you don’t mind if I share it here…? http://tiny.cc/NvRmO
[...] got the idea for this print from another favorite blog Making It Lovely. I LOVE this one, so I ordered it in 11X14 from Shutterfly for $7.99 plus free shipping (coupon [...]
lovely. if i may ask, what font did you use for the text in yellow? thanks.
Pretty much in love with that lil girl dress. So mod!
I love this…Honor Roll is a great idea!
Hello – the umbrellas are perfect for my house. I have a piece of umbrella artwork that my brother made for me and have been filling in with other things I find a long the way. It’s hard to find “happy” umbrellas; most are black and rainy!
Love the Honor Roll! So fun to find things I wouldn’t have run across all by my lonesome. Thanks!
Such a gorgeous umbrella print!
Love the scallop coat. I wonder if scallops are going to be a new big thing? I just fell in love with the Orleans quilt from Garnet hill, which has big scalloped edges. It has several lovely colors but I adore the lemon:

That was a fun romp…and Jules is right…always trunk up!
love the umbrellas.
Loved this post, Nicole! Thank you!
Oh West Elm- how I love thee! I’ve never even been in a store (there’s only one in Canada- in Toronto) and just drool over everything on the web. Please open in Vancouver! Love your finds!
I was too enchanted by the umbrella image to even notice my striped hallway made the honor roll! Thank you! As always, love what you’re doing over here. xoxo.
Just came across your blog, love it and I looove these umbrellas!
I contacted the artist and he does not have the print any larger…big fat bummer.
hi nicole! i’ve been reading your website for a long time but i don’t think i’ve ever commented on one of your posts. i just wanted to say thank you so much for the picture of the umbrellas. i’ve been having a really hard time for the past year or so, being sick, having surgery, etc… and that picture totally makes me feel better. i printed it out, matted it, and hung it up in my apartment and i use it as a reminder that things will always get better.
so thanks for that and thanks to the original artist. he’s one talented guy. i LOVE the picture. *hugs*
Gorgeous finds! I love the umbrella print!
i love love love this umbrellas!
Great list. I love Jeremy + Kathleen’s hallway.
