david's drips

this is a page from david's sketchbook (and a preview of something coming soon to our shop).  i like these cute drips so much. don't they make you smile?

inspiration

marcel dzama, one of my favorites.

(via everything).  watch the enchanting/horrifying department of eagles video.

also inspiring, the sketchbook series.  after looking at these artist's sketches for a few minutes, all i could want to do was go draw in my own book.  so i did.

 

tiffany's giveaway

my friend tiffany, a minneapolis/st. paul based photographer, is having a crazy giveaway.  i am seriously blown away by her generosity.  one couple will win a full 8 hour day of wedding coverage (with tiffany and her second photographer) and an engagement or bridal session.  plus more!  and she'll travel!  if you are getting married or you know someone who is...  enter!  what an awesome prize.

(even if you're not getting married, you should browse her site just to look at all the pretty photos).

i love this jumpsuit by ilana kohn!

she has some beautiful scarves, too.

new table new hat

last week i bought a new (used) table for my sewing area...  i don't know how i'd gone without a cutting table/work surface like this for so long.  and it was only $10.  and the legs fold under so we were able to fit it in the back seat of my little car...  and it has a leaf, for big projects.  it's like a super sturdy card table.  i love it.

what's that, you like my hat?  me too!  it came in the mail (on a chilly day) from All Knitwear.  it's my first piece made by annie, but not my last...  i've had my eye on the sticker stripe box top for some time.  can't wait to see her fall collection!

many thanks

just wanting to super-thank a few sweet folks for posting about imaginary animal/plastic foliage:

carmen, who purchased a topknot has a lovely blog and a rad shop.  she makes these awesome wearable geometric shapes!  isn't the nautical one great?  i'd shop in a store that has a polyhedron section for sure.  go meet my little architect.

my friend from grad school, natalie, has a fun blog and a couple of neat-o shops.  check out the sweet hand painted apple box at miss natalie.  her newer shop, canoe, is awesome.  chock full of vintage mens work wear plus wood-burned and leather-worked knives and key chains.  i could have used one of these when i was whittling the bark off twigs for the acoustics of upholstery.

you'll see photos by abby in natalie's shop.  abby has been such a great supporter of more less.  she mentioned my efforts on her baby blog and abby try again. so many thanks to her!

also kristina of lovely morning ( a lovely blog) and robyn who writes for makobi scribe (she's hosting a handsoap giveaway).

and (to whoever is reading this) thank you, too!
