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 [...]
In my design classes we generally have to create two or three collections throughout the course of a semester. We start by gathering tons of inspiration images.Then we make croquis (fashion figures, the models for the clothes). Next we draw a ton of roughs. Roughs are quick sketches of garments. Then we edit the looks [...]
Friends, I need a new purse. Mine is literally falling apart. I mean it fell to pieces in the middle of the store last night. There’s this thing that connects the shoulder strap to the body of the purse and it keeps failing with disastrous results. But I’m picky. I want the purse on the [...]
I tried a new brand of nail polish this weekend. The brand is called Butter London and they make dozens of beautiful shades all without harmful chemicals. There are so many pretty shades it can be hard to choose. I finally decided on golden West End Wonderland and the special edition, The Black Knight. They’re [...]

Today’s handmade interview is with the wonderfully talented accessory maker, Ele from Ele Handmade. Her creations are stunning! I keep dreaming of this pair of pewter colored ballerina shoes. I think my spring kind of needs them!
This has been the week for evening projects. Monday I finished a scarf for a friend of a friend, last night I re-potted my rose and tonight I’m going to paint the frame for the map I ordered for our guest room. I’m planning a little photo tour of the room soon, too. I think [...]
The week isn’t over, but it’s already been such an inspiring one on the web! Here are six super pretty things that I’ve found this week… Is it possible to fall head over heels for a nail polish? The answer is yes! I haven’t tried these beauties but I really like their lovely packaging.
I want to invite you all to a fancy holiday party, but since pesky things like geography tend to get in the way, it’ll be right here on the ol’ blog! So put on your favorite dress, dust off those beautiful heels you only wear once in a blue moon and get ready to be [...]
