all squares in lime by flor

flor is modular carpet tiles in a huge range of patterns, colors and thicknesses (they even make round ones).  low-VOC, recycled content, washable, replaceable, and adaptable - which is a definite plus for couples (like us) who aren't exactly "settled" yet - flor tiles are definitely worth considering if you are in the market for a new rug.  plus, they have a return & recycle program, and a good steward to the land is a good friend to me.  b and i settled on the above "all squares" in lime to cozy up our tiled living room and have been loving it for the better part of a year now.

etc: green goes pink

things i support:  1. renewable energy  2. wildlife preservation  3. pink!  so, its no surprise that i enthusiastically support Loughborough University's recommendation to paint wind turbines pink and save the birdies!

its official.  my current flower fancy is the mum.  i particularly love the cute little bright green ones.  fluffy and a splash of bold color - whats not to love?  especially when paired with hot pink (what a surprise) gerberas.  makes ya wanna smile, huh?  :-)
