monday faves: 3.21.11

i missed friday faves this week :(

there have been some majormajor changes at my work the past week and i just haven't had the luxury of blogging.  still, friday faves has become a true fave of mine.  i get to compile all these lovely images and blog posts, and then carry that inspiration over into my life.

so anyways, i feel badly that i couldn't do a friday faves this week.  i know it's late, and i know it isn't too comprehensive, but i still wanted to do a little compilation.  so here it goes...
