So I promised to introduce you to the amazing designer responsible for the new look of freepeople.com and the Free People blog, aka the Caravan of Curiosities…
His name is Ed. Ed gets Free People, and we had an awesome time working with him. I asked Ed if he wanted to say anything about working with the FP crew, and this is what he said…
“The Free People folks are so great to work with because they embrace the quirky and playful things that others dismiss. The Caravan of Curiosities idea sounds odd to say it out loud, (“Ok, so there is this blue hare that runs through Europe and Tibet and Alaska and Africa, and there’s a moose, and a cow and a monkey and some birds…”) but FP was just like, “Yeah, that sounds fun!” And it was.”
Thank you Ed! Above are some of the working drawings Ed did while creating the new blog design. If you want to check out what else he’s been up to, check out his site, edmullen.com

Very nice site!
The title of this post is, so far, my favorite comment about the new site! What do you think? Make sure you all click on the curtain tassel in the upper right corner to see new places the magical blue bunny can take you. A feature on our fantastic web designer is coming soon!

I kind of miss the way the old blog looked! This one seems a little more juvenile, and a little less feminine.

Thanks for the mention! So thoughtful of you!
If you have visited etsy lately, you have seen their new blog/newspaper/ezine called The Storque. It’s really cool, covering topics about etsy crafters and all that surrounds the crafting lifestyle. I like that blogs are morphing into these more magazine-like entities are creating such a tight knit community (no pun intended).

For the dark fairy entry i was wondering about douglas Foulke's portfolio. First of all i was wondering why in the catalog the pictures didn't have wings and also was wondering where you could find the wings, they were so cool! (Halloween costume) THanks... please reply
When is the last time you blew bubbles? I spotted this on pan-dan and had to check it out. Designed by Jason Amendolara, this dish scrubber is also a bubble wand! It is silly but the thought of it just makes me smile. Check out the other designs nominated for the Cooper Hewitt People’s Design Award. Nominate and vote on your favorites! Here are some of mine…
Good Magazine
Play for Pump, entertaining children and creating clean drinking water
cowboy boots.
Fellow FP girl reccomended this event and I thought it highly appropriate now that we have a store in Austin!
Check out Stitch 2007 on November 10th, and get tickets because they sell out! Indie craft fair and fashion show goin on, so go and support the community. The money raised benefits the Stitch Grant awarded for Indie and Craft Upstarts. Woohoo.
I wanted to share this video posted on the Stitch blog. It is a clip from Handmade Nation aka the Indie Craft Documentary…

Hey justthinkin'. We have done a few different surveys of both our store and web customers. The ages are seriously all over the place from teens to grandma's and lots of 20 somethings. The 26 year old girl is kind of a way for us to focus our aesthetic and keep a clear idea of the kind of girl we imagine to love Free People. Whether you are 18 or 45, we like to think there is something about this imaginary free spirited 26 year old FP girl that you are in love with...
You may have seen this around the blogosphere, but I thought I’d give my recommendation as well. Core 77 did this back to school guide with helpful tips for all of you designers and designer wannabes. From key items to invest in to simple photoshop tricks, with some wit and humor thrown in. There’s some good advice that translates for those of us that have graduated to business world too. So check it out, because they used hot pink glue guns in the image.
