i don't know where this image came from but i like to think it was the scene of a fun garden tea party for a group of fun-loving and fashionable women....who are also super quirky.  what do you think?! [via]

~ zooey deschanel tweets ~

i don't do the whole twitter-thing, but i'm soo glad jezebel does, or else i would've missed this gem of a tweet by my girl zooey d :)

and....

last, but not least - i started a tumblr !
the main reason i did this is because i started developing a pretty elaborate dream where i open my own quirky little boutique, selling equal parts stationary, art, books, accessories, and maybe a sprinkling of clothes.  who knows if this dream will ever come to fruition, who knows if it will stay a serious aspiration for much longer... but until the day it dies down, i have started a tumblr to keep track of the types of items i'd like to sell.
hop over & take a look if you want, but i won't be offended if you don't :)
it probably only makes sense to me anyways!  (and there's a lot of overlap between the pretty things blog & the dream.plan.act tumblr)

have a great weekend all!
