Sesame and Lilies

Feast your eyes. 

On one of my favorite stores ever, 

in one of my favorite places ever. 

It's called Sesame and Lilies, located in the 

precious little town of Cannon Beach, Oregon.

There is so much to look at in this store. Cuteness. Everywhere. 

I loved this light fixture. This light ended up being the inspiration to me choosing a similar light fixture in my most recent design project...which I'll be sharing more about in a future post!

These blankets were so expensive. But so beautiful. And so soft. I should know...I pretty much stroked every one of them one by one until I felt like the store clerks wanted me to stop.

I almost died when I saw this little pendant. Those scallops...they kill me. If I could be a pendant light...I'd be that one. Is that weird to say? Oh well. It's true.

Look at how cool these industrial stools are!

The only downside about this shopping trip was that I kept feeling like I was being watched. Only to realize...I was. By this:

And this:

Oh and apparently this:

I thought this front pillow was so pretty. Just a really subtle animal print. I'm not usually a fan of animal print at all...but this pillow made me reconsider that a little. A LITTLE. 


So I was inspired, and right when I got home I decided to redesign my bedroom, incorporating REALLY subtle animal print. Nothing too wild...just a subtle accent of animal print.

And here's my new room! Thoughts?

...so yeah. I crack myself up. {why aren't you laughing} 


Anyways, back to the pretty stuff.

I want to own that metal lamp on the left. And all of those good smelling soaps.

I ended up leaving the store with one thing that I love.

Please excuse the darkness of this picture...but that elephant print above my bed is what I bought. It was only about $4...and perfectly filled the blank spot above my bed in my college house!

So that's that! I'd say it was a successful shopping trip. I get so much inspiration just from wandering stores like this. 

Can't wait 'til I can go back again!

Hope you all had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving :)
