Have you seen the Portlandia episode Put A Bird On It? Well, I am thinking that they need to do an updated version with birch trees - they could keep a few birds too. Since posting about the birch wallpaper that I am kind of in love with and since slightly obsessed over, I feel like I have been seeing birch motifs everywhere. I can't say that I mind though in fact I have a drawing of birch trees that a friend gave me (by request) that I really need to get framed, it is just so lovely. I love the towels by Fine Little Day and those straws need to come to my house.
PS, if you are wondering, I happen to think that Portlandia is pretty accurate in its portrayal of this little city here in the northwest, maybe a bit exaggerated but not by much depending on what crowds you run with. I honestly don't watch the show that regularly because I feel like I live it every time I leave my house, and maybe I can see my-portlander-self in it a teeny-tiny bit too.
The throw is so beautiful! My office at work is surrounded by 11 birch trees, so thank you for the beautiful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteooo, lucky you! i don't have many in my neighborhood but i used to love them when i was little. they are just so pretty.
DeleteThat clutch has my name on it even if I hate birds because of the movie.

i know, it's so lovely, isn't it?
DeleteHahaha, oh Portlandia. I did a round up of bird-things a little while ago when the first iteration of "Put a Bird on it" was popular, but I like your incarnation way more! I happen to really love the pattern. I think the neck roll pillow and the straws are my favorite. There was a blogger who drew her own birch wallpaper freehand, I'll try to see if I can find it... aha! http://www.katiespencilbox.com/2011/02/sniffles-and-spring-fever.html
ReplyDeleteI mean, you're crafty and a good designer, I bet you could pull something like that off, if you had a lot of patience! xo
wow! i definitely don't have that much patience at all. i love her blog, though every time i visit i get a little pang of envy.
DeleteI want the blanket, the candle and the clutch too! Lovely finds, Christine!
ReplyDeleteHehe: put a birch on it. I actually tried watching Portlandia today. Sometimes I get it...sometimes. I do love your picks though!
ReplyDeletei agree. i like to catch an episode here or there but i can't do any marathons with it. sometimes it's just a little more weird than funny but when i do find it funny it's worth it.
DeleteI do share your love for the birch. Lisa Cogdon has a birch painting that I just love and I know which birch wallpaper you're talking about - It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I haven't watched Portlandia. Though, if both you and Erin can vouch for the show, it must be good.
it can be a little hit or miss. it is so portland sometimes it makes me love it maybe more than the non-portlander and maybe sometimes less ; ) but the good parts are really good, it's one of those shows for me.
DeleteI love all things birch and would love to feel like I'm walking through the woods all day.
ReplyDeletei think i love it because it's feels like the epitome of vintage-modern-rustic which is what i like to call my design taste ; )
DeleteLovely picks Christine! I really love that beautiful blanket and the cute little purse!
ReplyDeleteLoving this trend, that little clutch is gorgeous! I've been seeing those straws everywhere online lately :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear - I love all of these, just can't pick a favourite! I do love birch trees and am fortunate enough to live near two silver birches, just beautiful all year around. Thanks so much for finding these!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great round up! Love the log pillow and the blanket. I am definitely signing up for the motto to put a birch on it. Before reading your post I have only watched the Portlandia put a bird on it clip but now I clicked over to YouTube and watched some of the clips there. The no grocery bag clip is really funny. I am the opposite of the guy in the sketch because I always tell the cashier not to bag my stuff because I don't want any plastic bags. I always bring my cloth bags or a big plastic crate ;)
ReplyDeleteI want everything!!
