I just needed to share how much I love Frankie Magazine. It’s an Australian mag for the 20-something crowd, and their blog is really great too. Lots of crafts and pretty things, eco-friendly products, new designers, all that great stuff we like to know about:)
I am in love this collar made by LittleRobot. The feathers, the crochet, the high neck… it’s too much! I can think of so many ways to wear it!
Thank you My Love for You, for showing me this cuteness! Click here to see the collar on Etsy.
This Blythe Doll is so cute! I think she looks like a total Free People girl! I recently found an awesome collection of Blythe pictures by Honey Bunny on Flickr- check it out if you like Blythe too! I love looking at all the outfits and hairstyles…
You in NY?? Check out Williamsburg Fashion Weekend. Here’s some info from them:
“Williamsburg Fashion Weekend continues to show the work of designers that have their fingers on the hip and now, with a nod to the past and wide-open eyes on the future. In this, our third season, we’ve assembled a group of eight Brooklyn-based designers who make one-of-a-kind or small-run collections, with an emphasis on fair-trade, eco-friendliness, and artisan techniques that celebrate the handmade and the visionary.”
Check out the website for location info and links to some of the participating designers.
I found James Spicer‘s work on Poppytalk Handmade, and boy am I glad I did! I could look at the pictures he takes for hours! I really love all the work with miniatures, and the colors that seem to predominate are fabulous. It would be nice to find myself in his mini world for a while. You should have a look at his blog too – his series “Today’s Look Through the Viewfinder” is going to keep me coming back.
See James’ shop on Poppytalk to buy prints!
Ashley from New York, NY: I created a wall of graphic, yet ladylike, art with just a quart of black paint. The silhouettes were printed on full-sheet labels and then the black squares were painted around them before removing the labels. The shapes could be changed to suit another room (fruit and vegetable shapes for a kitchen, etc).

I snapped a couple fun little shots of the silhouette meeting yesterday – it was another day of accidental matching!
Special buddies!
A quick shot of one of our silhouette walls – basically an inspiration board!
These amazing crochet artworks were created by Emily Barletta. I love them and how organic they are! They look like coral to me! In her interview on My Love for You, Emily says she is inspired by internal biological functions, organs, blood, cells, etc… Check out her site for more pictures of her work- she has a cute blog too!
Via this great interview on My Love for You is a Stampede of Horses.
Today at the home office we had our booking meeting, and to go along with the trends we were featuring, we got some adorable (and very tasty) mushroom-shaped cookies!
Looks like everyone enjoyed them very much!
