Housewares: Jonathan Adler


We have been Jonathan Adler fans for quite some time, but we are especially enamored with the newest little Dreamy arrivals...his sweet little salt & pepper shakers. We have his wee little whales and fun little fishies on the shelves right now! Not to mention a collection of vases, sculptures and other kitsch available online. We think you'll agree that Mr. Adler is the cat's meow!

Jewelry: Nashelle

Dreamy has been wild for Oregon based Nashelle Jewlery for quite some time. They create gorgeous pieces in the U.S. from recycled precious metals and semi-precious stones. We all can agree that few things get a girls heart rate going quite like a piece of unique sparkling jewlery, and Nashelle Jewelry is no exception. A personal favorite piece is the deliciously chunky Raw crystal, aquamarine and gold necklace pictured below. For everyday earrings, we all love the oh-so-simple and yet oh-so-elegant stick earrings. Whichever piece you choose, we know it will delight the inner indulgent in you for years to come!

Found On Etsy: Mushrooms!


Mushrooms seem to be everywhere these days and they've come a long way from the days of The Grateful Dead, hemp necklaces and psychedelic decor. We scoured Etsy for some of the cutest little mushrooms out there, and we found all these little gems just waiting to be adopted.
Here's how to find them:


Top Three: We absolutely love these gorgeous Mushroom Prints found here. They are a set of four signed 5 by 7 prints by artist Jessica Doyle. We would love to gift this Mushroom Charm Necklace found here to a little niece or daughter and the Wooly Mushroom Critters found here would look charming nestled in a wooden bowl on our coffee table.


Middle Three: This Mushroom Print Tote, found here is perfect for a sunny summer day and it looks like it will fit everything we can possibly cram into our purse. Our little ones will look adorable in the Kids Mushroom Tee found here. And we wouldn't mind a little whimsy added from the Tiny Mushroom Earrings found here.

Bottom Three: The Mushroom "Be Nice To Yourself Print" can be found here. We adore the 8 by 10 print by Laura George and the affirmation would make us smile every morning. Check out the cute little Mushroom Stamp found here. Not sure exactly what we need to stamp but we're sure something will come up. And our fridge is begging us to decorate it with the Mushroom Magnets found here.




These little matchboxes from
Driscoll Designs are just darling and we like to keep a box of the mushroom print on hand in every room. They are available in the Dreamy storefront. Here's wishing you all a week filled with FUNgus!

Color: Cactus

Our color inspiration today is taken from a beautiful cactus garden we visited in Northern California. These muted greens, washed out browns and warm earthy reds remind us of a hot sunny summer day in the desert. Wouldn't these colors look so peaceful and soothing in a bedroom filled with crisp white fabrics, rustic wood furniture and cool concrete flooring? We would add the soothing scent of Burn Voyage's Silver Springs candle by lighting a couple on the bedside tables.

A Dreamy Holiday: Happy 4th!


From all of us here at the Dreamy headquarters... we wish you a very happy Independence Day! We hope this Saturday is filled with family, friends, fun and food for you all. Here in Encinitas we are celebrating by watching the Neptune Neighborhood parade and sipping on some sweet spiked lemonade. Delicious bar-b-que, potato salad and some cherry pie for dessert. Mmmm!

Found On Etsy: Poppies!



Dreamy is in love with our California poppies that have been blooming, er, popping up, all over the place this summer. Our delightful state flower has inspired us to search the always exciting "Etsy" high and low for all varieties of items detailed with this darling little bloom.

Top Row:
Oh so sweet! We LOVE this adorable little poppy print with a little birdie and our favorite Dreamy blue background color. Check it out here.We at Dreamy are always suckers for unique and colorful jewelry and we couldn't resist this beautiful necklace in blue and poppy red. Liven up your kitchen with these darling dishtowels adorned with a row of red poppies.

Middle Row: We do adore a spontaneously sent note card and this simple but sweet greeting is no exception. And how about this oh-so-practical and oh-so-delightful tote? We'll take 3 for all our shopping needs!

Bottom Row: Oh my goodness! This clutch is a must-have accessory to liven up any outfit, and we would love to use this wine set for a warm summer night's gathering of wine and cheese. And last, but certainly not least, we absolutely adore this lovely signed & numbered (run of 300) limited edition letterpress print by Delphine.
