one of our readers made this bike lock inspired by our dog leash DIY! i love the fabrics she used…this is a great way to jazz up your bike lock, just wrap different scraps of fabric around it!

another reader, autumn, sent this awesome project she made for her environmental perspectives class, in which they were required to create an interior or apparel item made entirely out of recycled materials.

she made an up-cycled outdoor chandelier using an old wire basket, recycled glass jars, various necklaces and chains found in her dresser, a coat hanger to hang it up and a little bit (or a lot) of creativity! she spray painted the wire basket to match the necklaces and coat hanger, used some wire to hang the jars from the necklaces, filled the jars with collected sand and seashells then topped it off with a votive candle…..perfect for an outdoor summer garden party!

speaking of outdoor parties, i can’t get over these string chandeliers from the blog wednesday!

    beautiful photos aside from the fact that many of your models do not look healthy. i would love to see similar photos with women with a little more life in their bodies.

  • Jessica says:

    Sweet photos! Love the photo of the model laughing. Also adore the look in the first photo. Definitely something I’d love to wear or put together.

  • bminimal says:

    ahhhhh..I grew up at that beach, Kailua/Lanikai…this brought me to tears. thank you for sharing rabbit island and many more beautiful images with me. Its been a long time since I have seen that visual on the horizon :)

Brimfield Photo Diary

May 23rd, 2011 / Posted by fp jemma / Permalink

Some of our buyers have just come back from Brimfield’s one of the world’s largest flea markets. It’s in Massachusetts and happens 3 times a year May 8-13, July 10-15, and September 4-9.

Here are some pictures they took and wanted to share with you!

It’s unbelievable the amount of great things you can find there with so much history and stories behind them.

Have any of you guys been?

  • Hi all, Images like this and the people who stand behind them are alive and well. We need to acknowledge this image. We must be appalled that it ever existed, then we need to get fucking angry and do something about it.

  • Jen says:

    “Anonymous” – have you ever even looked through FP’s website and catalogues? How can you even say that they only use white people? Why does everyone have to be soooo offended about everything? Damn.

  • Sandy says:
