Two things that are beautiful.

Caitlin Parker built a dollhouse in her back yard and planted a bunch of native-to-where-she-lives plants in and around it and set up a motion sensor camera to capture small wildlife checking out the house. It's been in her yard since the beginning of May and is starting to show signs of wear from the weather... gives it a fantastic look. She's blogging about the project here.

Flickr user woolly fabulous covered two tree trunks with thrifted doilies! The second I saw this project, I added it to my list of things I'd do In a Perfect World (#19). The second we buy a house, a tree on the property is getting treated to a coating of doilies. I plan to start thrifting them on my next trip to GoodWill.
