I saw this blog entry over at mymodernmet.com that features 22 incredible photos from faraway places. The photos of Steve McCurry are beyond incredible. He is best known for his photograph of the Afghan refugee girl who graced the cover of National Geographic and became their “most recognized photograph.” These three photos were my favorites posted on that blog. After looking through McCurry’s website portfolio, I wanted to post about 200 more. To avoid the agonizing task of choosing my favorites from there, I recommend you visit his site immediately and be amazed. He can truly capture the beauty of the human spirit.

Browsing through Etsy, I stumbled upon seller fakerybakery2. She creates jewelry that resembles miniature versions of some of our favorite sweet treats. I love the glossy whimsy and I am really impressed with how realistic each piece looks. Plus, I’m always enamored with miniatures.

Of course, when we decorate our homes, money is one of the biggest issues to consider. I have a small list of things I’d absolutely love to have... if price were no matter.

This soaking tub, from Restoration Hardware, is just beautiful. Having a roomy bathroom, with separate tub and shower would be a joy. All I want to do is put on some Jets to Brazil and soak in a relaxing bubble bath.
