friday. finally!

 

I've been busy working on a little side project this week so I've neglected my little old shop a bit.  But, nevertheless, I'm excited about the inspiration I've found in the loveliest of places.  All the links for the above products are archived on this pinterest inspiration board but thanks must go to the following folks for their divine images...

Is it Thursday already?

I feel like this little girl looks. 

I might actually look like her too. 

Just with more wrinkles.

I apologize for neglecting you.

But the link to this incredible world map pillow should make it up to you.

No?

And TGI almost F!

get to the point!

I'm nuts for needlepoint.  Seriously.  What is up with this?  I just turned forty (that part is read softly as if whispering) and all of the sudden I'm acting like a Grandma.  I simply can't seem to get enough of needlepoint.  Fortunately, there is only so much needlepoint one person can have in their home and only so few dollars in my wallet or we'd all be in trouble.  (And I haven't the time nor energy to learn a new craft.  Well, at least not THIS week.)

This is just a small assortment of the pillows, eye glass cases, cell phone cases, paperweights & footstools that we stumbled upon at the Jonathan Adler store in San Francisco today.  And a to-die-for orange apartment sofa thrown in for good measure.  I want them all.  I bought one.  Because I really, truly "NEEDED" a new eyeglass case.  Really.  You'll have to trust me on that one.

Johnny Vintage

Now that the new sewing machine has been saved from the depths of despair in our dusty garage, I'm dreaming up all sorts of things I can make for the house.  The list is getting long fast.  High on the list are some new throw pillows for just about every room in the house.  The above beauties are just a few of my favorite inspirations. I truly love the last one by Johnny Vintage but, as I announced on facebook last night, I'm thinking it probably not the best quote to introduce to our newly reading six year old.  Or his parrot of a younger sister. One to file away for the teenage years when ass kicking will be the least of my worries...

hoot, hoot

This owl should be telling me that it's way past my bedtime but instead it's luring me to blog about it! This is a Big Hoot courtesy of Manic Muffin Totes on Etsy. The shop is stocked full of Lil' Hoots as well in the most darling array of fabrications. All of her quilts and appliqued items are done by hand & she accepts customer orders. Hoot, hoot for handmade!
