You know how it is. You sit down with your coffee and you think “I’ll just look at Etsy for two minutes.” Half an hour later and you’re still clicking, hearting, and shopping. Here’s what I found on my last trip down the handmade rabbit hole of lovely things. 1) Chalkboard Mug 2) Porcelain Bottle [...]
I’ve been a fan of Shanna Murray’s work for ages and of course I adore her new Spring collection. It’s a lovely mix of ribbons, wreaths of clover, and thoughts. I’d be happy to scoop up the whole shop, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be this one. Be brave. You [...]
This week’s loves have a bit of an art and jewelry theme. Starting with a brilliant new photography book… My copy of Nicole‘s super-lovely Paris in Color came today. I opened it immediately. Oh, it’s gorgeous! I can’t recommend it highly enough. Of course it will make you feel like skipping work and hoping on a plane to [...]
It still feels like winter (there was frost on the ground this morning!) so summer clothes aren’t quite the right thing just yet. But I’ve been going through my clothes and weeding out things that I haven’t worn in a year or two and making room for a few additions. I know some people don’t [...]
I was sitting at the dinning room table painting my nails when I remembered a video that I had seen popping up on Etsy lately. I had been meaning to watch it so I pulled it. It surprised me with its loveliness. “With a needle and fiber, of course, anything can be done. This is [...]
I’ve mentioned Nan Larson before, but I still love her illustrations and wanted to post about them again. I decided that I like her work so much I just need to start collecting it already so these two lovelies are on their way to my ever-lovin’ walls! Amelie & Joanie I love her pop culture [...]
My favorite fashion designer right now is Mary Katrantzou. Her designs have wonderful sculptural elements like layers of fabric that mimic graceful butterfly wings or the bold proportions of Russian nesting dolls. A lot of her work reminds me of sculpture. And then there’s her amazing use of pattern. I could go on and on.
Saturday morning Joel ran out to the store for orange juice and came back with an armful of prettiest pink tulips. Tulips must be addicting because on our next trip out of the house, ten pale orange ones found their way into my hands and home to a vase.
So it basically feels like summertime around here. We open all the windows at work and try not to melt in the afternoons. We take breaks for orange fanta in glass bottles. I’m not really a pop drinker, but I do love a little orange fanta on a hot day! Lots of other bright and [...]
I didn’t mean to disappear this week, but Joel and I came down with the flu within hours of each other on Monday and we’ve pretty much been in a hibernation/I don’t wanna be sick! mode ever since. So, to beat the winter sickies, I’m looking at pretty things that remind me a little of [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
