brian andreas makes art from old barnwood and incorporates words about a specific moment or memory…
this is my favorite thing about his work, really, as mentioned on his site:
“we believe (fiercely) in the power of stories, not because they’re our stories, but because it is valuable & right to protect the precious connections between people.”

I LOVE Storypeople. I have 4 of them framed in my room, my favorite one reads "she said she usually cried at least once each day, not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful and life was so short." How pretty in such few words!

i made a pumpkin pie the other day, to ease into the knowing that autumn is slowly on its way.
i didn’t write the recipe out anywhere, but i’ll type it out for you, in case you want to make…
filling:
1 can pumpkin (i used organic whole pumpkin, but you can use whatever you like)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp sea salt
* and if you’re so inclined, 4 oz of cream cheese!
mix pumpkin and spices together. add remaining
ingredients. mix slowly but thoroughly. pour into 9″
pie shell. bake at 375 degrees for about 50 min.
let cool for a smidge, then dig in. :)

margaux kent lives in philadelphia. she has a beautiful son and endless talent. check out her wares at her etsy site, the black spot books.
on tuesday, ny daily news reported that designer mark fast intended to use plus-size models on the runway during london’s fashion week.
his stylist and creative director quit 3 days before the show.
if the girls pictured are his models, i think he did a rad job, but…what do you think?

I totally agree with Sherlyn's word that "A good designer would be someone who can designs clothes that makes EVERYONE pretty. If a dress doesn't look good on plus or regular person, then he/she should NOT be considered a designer." I think this post will definitely helpful for the designers as well as readers like me. Thanks a lot for sharing. Keep blogging.

I think the argument for thin models as coat hangers is a valid one, that the clothes do hang better on these women, but I think that the opposite can also be true. In my opinion, women of model-like proportions cannot wear some styles with chunky fabrics, or very structured or curve enhancing shapes. Just as many designer styles look better hanging on a slender woman, some styles look better with the support of a filled-out woman underneath. I've seen slender women walking around in thick corduroys and woolen coats, and it looks like they're wearing upholstery fabric. Similarly, curvier women have long been regarded as sexy, and thin women are boyish as often as they are elegant. It's just a matter of perspective, in my opinion. And no one design will be flattering to everyone.
where does the time go? honestly…

mesh stripe legwarmers would be soo versatile because they could work as armwarmers or legwarmers, with boots or heels, with jeans or skirt. I really love these........Boo
