Inspiration by Orla Kiely
Whether it’s her clothing or housewares, I’m often inspired by Orla Kiely‘s simple, funky designs.

Ghoulish garden
I found these creepy garden/yard statues at Target for $39.99. Though they look stony, they are actually a lighter weight (but still substantial) material.
I’m hoping they might be on sale, and on my patio by Saturday.
