i'm pretty excited to introduce these handmade pillows. i took my time figuring out just the right size and plumpness. a few sample triangles have been living on our couches for a little while now and we're really enjoying them. i like to have one under my arm when i knit (seems to be just the right angle) and david laughed at me the other night when i used my triangle to cover my eyes during scary parts of the movie we were watching. i even handed one to our intern and asked him what he thought. he responded by hugging it tightly and saying "i love it!" ...so there you go.
available here.
this vintage fabric seemed perfect for pillows. it's sturdy and smooth with a rather cheerful floral print.
if we had a porch swing i'd put one of these on it. yes, that's what i'd do.
available here.
these pretty kitty tees will be in the new shop. i've already claimed a beige one for myself, but i'm tempted to keep a peach one, too. better restrain myself or they'll be nothing left for you. :)
we will have a blog in the new shop, so i'll probably be closing up this one... i'll miss this space, but it'll be really nice to have things more connected. plus it'll be more of a collaborative effort between me and david, which i'm really excited about.

new! black wrist zips available singly or mix and match the zipper colors. i'll wear one with peach and one with green.
oh, and i used up the scraps these tees (womens and kids) to make a couple pairs of wrist zips. these may be my favorites yet. maybe i should keep a pair...
this is an old article, but a nice pick-me-up. i love what sadie says about wrist zips: "a little on the dork side of accessories – but more so in that really cool Miranda July kinda dork way". not bad.
i recently had a customer request an all-white pair of our natural vegetable glycerin handsoap. a gift for someone who has a bathroom decorated with porcelain glove molds. will these chubby little guys fit in?
i made 3 of these pairs to make sure at least one turned out perfect. and, well, they all did... so i though i'd give one away here and put the other in the shop. so if you are interested in receiving this pair of hands (for free!) just comment on this post (be sure to include your email address). a winner will be randomly chosen on december 6. good luck!
packing up orders is more fun with pretty string, fun postcards and wacky pencils. these postcards are now in the shop and the pencils will be soon. we had a blast coming up with funny phrases to put on pencils. can't wait to share the rest. hope they'll make you laugh.
this postcard is one of david's paintings: beauty lives by kindness. i love it.
and this one is one of my film photos: santa had a rough year. i think this would be a pretty funny alternative to a standard holiday greeting card.
wow, i can't believe i won annie's giveaway. i never win anything, so i was super-shocked when i checked my email this morning. went from groggy to giddy in two seconds. eep! i cant wait to wear that hat!
just updated the shop with some new kids things:
also, i am an exhibitor this month on papernstitch... and i'm offering a 15% discount on everything in the shop. just enter coupon code: HELLOFALL when checking out!
and three more new kids tops... this first one is my favorite. as you can see i can't get enough of these contrasting cuffs.
a few new pairs of earrings in the shop. more soon!
also, i added a couple things to the sale section.
new kids tees (baby tees and onesies, too) available in the shop. how adorably hilarious is this?
did you see the new fine little day shop? i want everything. especially this hat. for myself.
squeezing in a few more summer-y tanks before switching to fall-ish designs and color-combos. the first one has a pretty vintage flower applique on it that i've been saving forever. the aqua polka dotted fabric is mega-soft. click on an image to link to the shop.
here's sweet little ivy modeling a couple of kids items from plastic foliage.
first is one of my favorite things in the shop: the organic baby tee. it's just about the softest thing ever.
and here is a little striped tunic that looked adorable on her. i think this would be the perfect thing for a beach baby.
i already miss little ivy and her big big eyes.
